'Simple mediaplayer play mp3 from file path?

I have a very simple mediaplayer that play background. It calls file from the apk, but I want it to play from any directory like as music or sdcard.

Here are my codes:

private MediaPlayer mpintro;

.
.

mpintro = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.intro);
        mpintro.setLooping(true);
        mpintro.start();

String filePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/yourfolderNAme/yopurfile.mp3";
mediaPlayer = new  MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(filePath);
mediaPlayer.prepare();   
mediaPlayer.start()

and this play from raw folder.

int resID = myContext.getResources().getIdentifier(playSoundName,"raw",myContext.getPackageName());

            MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(myContext,resID);
            mediaPlayer.prepare();
            mediaPlayer.start();

mycontext=application.this. use.

Here is the code to set up a MediaPlayer to play off of the SD card:

String PATH_TO_FILE = "/sdcard/music.mp3";    
mediaPlayer = new  MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(PATH_TO_FILE);
mediaPlayer.prepare();   
mediaPlayer.start()

You can see the full example here. Let me know if you have any problems.

Use the code below it worked for me.

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource("/mnt/sdcard/yourdirectory/youraudiofile.mp3");
mp.prepare();
mp.start();

I use this class for Audio play. If your audio location is raw folder.

Call method for play:

new AudioPlayer().play(mContext, getResources().getIdentifier(alphabetItemList.get(mPosition)
                        .getDetail().get(0).getAudio(),"raw", getPackageName()));

AudioPlayer.java class:

public class AudioPlayer {

    private MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer;

    public void stop() {
        if (mMediaPlayer != null) {
            mMediaPlayer.release();
            mMediaPlayer = null;
        }
    }
    // mothod for raw folder (R.raw.fileName)
    public void play(Context context, int rid){
        stop();

        mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, rid);
        mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
                stop();
            }
        });

        mMediaPlayer.start();
    }

    // mothod for other folder 
    public void play(Context context, String name) {
        stop();

        //mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(c, rid);
        mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, Uri.parse("android.resource://"+ context.getPackageName()+"/your_file/"+name+".mp3"));
        mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
                stop();
            }
        });

        mMediaPlayer.start();
    }

}

This worked for me:

final File file = new File(getFilesDir(), "test.wav");//OR path to existing file
mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), Uri.fromFile(file));
mediaPlayer.start();

Solution 6:^[6]

In Kotlin:

1) The file is in a resource folder :

var nowLesson =resources.getIdentifier("test.mp3", "raw", packageName)
             
mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(applicationContext, nowLesson)
    
mediaPlayer.start()

2) The file is in a Path (file path)

val file = File(
        this.getDir("Music", MODE_PRIVATE),
        "/t.mp3"
    )
mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this,Uri.fromFile(file ))
                mediaPlayer.start()
