Android - Problem Playing Sounds From Assets Folder

i have 5 mp3 files stored on the assets folder. The files are all 25 KB. I load the files using: manager = context.getAssets(); this.inputStream = manager.openFd(fileName).createIn

Solution 1:

After some research i've found the awnser myself. the problem was i was using the following method to set the MediaPlayer's datasource:

inputStream = manager.openFd(fileName).createInputStream();    
player.setDataSource(inputStream.getFD());

Wich is just a call to setDataSource(fd, 0, 0x7ffffffffffffffL);, passing the min offset and this arbitrary length, causing the sounds to be played all mixed. When using the following code everything worked fine:

AssetFileDescriptor descriptor = manager.openFd(fileName);
long start= descriptor.getStartOffset();
long end= descriptor.getLength();
player.setDataSource(descriptor.getFileDescriptor(), start,end);

Solution 2:

You can also try playing them from the res/raw folder:

MediaPlayer p=MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.soundid);
p.start();

Solution 3:

1. For start try to eliminate one potential problem: compare inputStream with the original file.

2. Try opening and playing files directly.
