EditText Text Use As Filename - Stack Overflow PDF

The document describes an issue where an Android application is trying to play audio files using the file path stored in an EditText field. When the file path from the EditText is used, the audio will not play and returns an error saying the "sample is not ready". However, if a hard-coded file path is used instead of the EditText value, it works correctly. The poster is looking for help getting the audio to play using the file path from the EditText.

EditText text use as filename


android

android-edittext

soundpool

I have application that will search for song on external storage and play it by clicking a button. I use String path =
getFullFilePath(getApplicationContext(), "FILENAME"); and it works fine if i type something like song.mp3...I tried to use EditText.getText().toString();
except "FILENAME" and it doesnt work. This is my code in OnCreate:
EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et1);
String string = et.getText().toString();
sp = new SoundPool(5, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
String path = getFullFilePath(getApplicationContext(), string);
mSoundId = sp.load(path, 1);

And LogCat says `11-07 14:26:39.909: W/SoundPool(12627): sample 1 not READY


BUT if I input et.setText("SongName"); it works fine.. I want to type something in edittext and then use it as filename! Thanks `

In OnCreate is there any event happening like Button Click or something. Then on button click you get text from edittext. Raghunandan Nov 7 '12 at 13:37

Only this is in my button click public void button1(View view) { if (mStreamId != 0) { sp.stop(mStreamId); } mStreamId = sp.play(mSoundId, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1f); } Tom Jackson Nov 7

Do this in OnCreate:
mEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et1);
mSoundPool = new SoundPool(5, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
mSoundPool.setOnLoadCompleteListener(new SoundPool.OnLoadCompleteListener() {
public void onLoadComplete (SoundPool soundPool, int sampleId, int status) {
mStreamId = soundPool.play(sampleId, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1f);
}
}

Then in your onClick do:


public void yourOnClickMethod(View view) {
if (mStreamId != 0) {
mSoundPool.stop(mStreamId);
}

String path = getFullFilePath(getApplicationContext(), EditText.getText().toString());


mSoundId = mSoundPool.load(path, 1);

check out this question and SoundPool.OnLoadCompleteListener. It takes a while for the sample to be ready. PKeno Nov 7 '12 at 15:06

OnCreate will only be called one time for each lifetime of the Activity. So OnCreate is used to initialize UI. So it does not get the
change on EditText. Have a button. On Click get the data from edittext. That should solve your problem.
