Streaming songs from Url in Default Media Player

Here i am posting with the example code of the streaming the songs from the Url in android with android default media player. 

First of all you just have to make the XML file with the following lines

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout 

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 

android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

android:layout_height="fill_parent" 

android:focusable="true">

<EditText 

android:text="The song URL" 

android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

android:id="@+id/EditTextSongURL"/>

<ImageButton 

android:layout_below="@+id/EditTextSongURL"

android:id="@+id/ButtonTestPlayPause" 

android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:src="@drawable/button_play"/>

<SeekBar 

android:layout_below="@+id/ButtonTestPlayPause"

android:id="@+id/SeekBarTestPlay" 

android:layout_height="wrap_content" 

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:thumb="@drawable/thumb_transparent"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Now in you main Activity class replace with the following code and enter the URL of your server song and hit play.

public class StreamingPlayer extends Activity implements OnClickListener, OnTouchListener, OnCompletionListener, OnBufferingUpdateListener{

private ImageButton buttonPlayPause;
private SeekBar seekBarProgress;
public EditText editTextSongURL;

private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;

// this value contains the song duration in milliseconds. Loook at getDuration() method in MediaPlayer class
private int mediaFileLengthInMilliseconds; 

private final Handler handler = new Handler();

** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
             super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
             setContentView(R.layout.main);
             initView();
}

/** This method initialise all the views in project*/
private void initView() {
             buttonPlayPause = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.ButtonTestPlayPause);
             buttonPlayPause.setOnClickListener(this);

             seekBarProgress = (SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.SeekBarTestPlay);
             seekBarProgress.setMax(99); // It means 100% .0-99
             seekBarProgress.setOnTouchListener(this);
             editTextSongURL = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.EditTextSongURL);
             editTextSongURL.setText(R.string.testsong_20_sec);

             mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
             mediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
             mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
}

/** Method which updates the SeekBar primary progress by current song playing position*/
private void primarySeekBarProgressUpdater() {
              seekBarProgress.setProgress((int)                                     (((float)mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition()/mediaFileLengthInMilliseconds)*100)); // This math construction give a percentage of "was playing"/"song length"
                     if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
                                     Runnable notification = new Runnable() {
                                                         public void run() {
                                                                    primarySeekBarProgressUpdater();
                                                         }
                                     };
                    handler.postDelayed(notification,1000);
       }
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {

           if(v.getId() == R.id.ButtonTestPlayPause){
/** ImageButton onClick event handler. Method which start/pause mediaplayer playing */
             try {

                   // setup song URL to mediaplayer data source
                  mediaPlayer.setDataSource(editTextSongURL.getText().toString());

                  mediaPlayer.prepare();
                 } catch (Exception e) {
                  e.printStackTrace();
               }

mediaFileLengthInMilliseconds = mediaPlayer.getDuration();

           if(!mediaPlayer.isPlaying()){
                mediaPlayer.start();
                buttonPlayPause.setImageResource(R.drawable.button_pause);
           }else {
                mediaPlayer.pause();
                buttonPlayPause.setImageResource(R.drawable.button_play);
          }

          primarySeekBarProgressUpdater();
     }
}

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
           if(v.getId() == R.id.SeekBarTestPlay){
             /** Seekbar onTouch event handler. Method which seeks MediaPlayer to seekBar        primary progress position*/
                    if(mediaPlayer.isPlaying()){
                          SeekBar sb = (SeekBar)v;
                          int playPositionInMillisecconds = (mediaFileLengthInMilliseconds / 100) * sb.getProgress();
                         mediaPlayer.seekTo(playPositionInMillisecconds);
                    }
               }
          return false;
     }

@Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
       /** MediaPlayer onCompletion event handler. Method which calls then song playing is complete*/
           buttonPlayPause.setImageResource(R.drawable.button_play);
}

@Override
public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mp, int percent) {
/** Method which updates the SeekBar secondary progress by current song loading from URL position*/
             seekBarProgress.setSecondaryProgress(percent);
      }
}

Load background to Image Button by XML

The backgound of ImageButton can be defined in main.xml, without any works on programming.



Create a loadimagebutton.xml in res > drawable folder and put the following code into it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/androidonfocus" />
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/androidonclick" />
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/androidonclick" />
<item
android:drawable="@drawable/android" />
</selector>

Now add the following code into the main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
<ImageButton
android:background="@drawable/loadimagebutton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>

That's it you have done it.
