I’m not sure why the source would have made a difference, though.

Anyway, let me briefly explain my setup – how it’s different from yours is that I have an array of “media players” that are in a listview (essentially). It’s actually an array of StreamingMediaPlayer objects. Nonetheless, once you get into the actual StreamingMediaPlayer object that is instantiated for the particular row, it should behave no differently than yours (so *I* believe).

Anyway, that’s the situation – the selected “row” streams the file properly, but handler.post(updater) that is fired off in testMediaBuffer APPEARS to never be run – which leads me to believe that I’m not set up properly – somehow my thread from which these posts are being done (handled) is not right. Why I think this is because of this constructor definition in the API:

public Handler ()
Since: API Level 1

Default constructor associates this handler with the queue for the current thread. If there isn’t one, this handler won’t be able to receive messages.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Stuck in the mud…

Thanks,
Daniel

P.S. I HAVE read both tutorials…

I changed the handler.post calls to kicking off new threads, and, WHEW, that really made for interesting results… Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks – I’ll try it…

Great tutorial. I’ve implemented it, however, and it’s not working properly.

I’m using Eclipse, and I’m stepping through the code with the debugger, and it appears as though once the download thread is started, none of the code that’s supposed to be handled by the handler is being handled. I’m sure it’s something I’ve done wrong.

Was there something special that I was supposed to do to ensure that the message handler thread exists? Getting VERY frustrated…

Thanks,
Daniel

I have used this code but it is not streaming audio.Will this code work on android emulator.

yes I have changed the code , I have posted it already . If you don’t mind can you please send me your email id , I will send you the complete project of mine.My email id is abhijeetpatna2008@gmail.com

Hi Abhijeet,

Did you change Android’s VideoPlayer demo code at all or did you simply plug-in the URL for my video file?

What version of Android are you using?
