Audio File Path On Android Device
I have an mp3 file on my Galaxy S6 called song
. I have a simple app with one Button
that when clicked, I'd like my song file to play.
How can I get the path of that song and assign in to my MediaPlayer
object?.
Here's a step by step short tutorial:
- 1st - Create a "raw" directory in your res folder.
- 2nd - Put your mp3 file inside that directory (res/raw/mySong.mp3).
-
3rd - In your onCreate method put the following code:
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this,R.raw.mySong); mp.start();
If you want to access an external file:
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+ "/Music/mySong.mp3")););
mp.start();
And ofc, don't forget the permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
