Play MP3 not playing fully

[nathviswa]

Hello, I wrote a MP3 player ... that starts the play but repeats the same note continuously, without moving forward.

Meaning, it starts fine but again & again playing the started tone like, 123333333333

Any ideas ? pl help .. Here's the code snippet:


InputStream is = mainScr.getIS (currDirName+curFile);
String ctype = "audio/mpeg";
player = Manager.createPlayer(is, ctype);

VolumeControl vc = (VolumeControl) player.getControl("VolumeControl");
if(vc != null)
{
vc.setLevel(100);
}
player.setLoopCount (-1);
player.realize ();
player.prefetch();
player.addPlayerListener (this);
player.start ();

Seems some problem with player.realize; Its not ending at all ... and hence the next display never comes.
The code goes as follows:

MyForm.append ("before realize"); display.set....
player.realize ();
MyForm.append ("after realize"); display.set ... - this line never comes

any clues ???

note: My previous question is resolved after I use createPlayer ("<mp3>") format;

You must do the player realized() before you come and do any operation or call any of the life cycle of the player. So I think that before you set the volume please call the realized() and let us know the results.

On what device? Is realize() throwing an exception (or, for example, an OutOfMemoryError)?

I removed the volume control related stuff. My player creates, realize, prefetch & start in sequence, with displays before & after each operation. The code works fine in my handset for AMR files but not for MP3s .
The same code works fine in my colleague's handset for MP3s also.

I guess the problem with my device may be; but I dont know how to fix it.

realize not throwing any exception; I can say so coz I catch exceptions (including "Exception" which is a super class) and have given displays.

I've put displays before & after realize. The display "before realize" works fine. The display "after realize" is not at all coming.

By the by, my device is "Samsung Corby GT-B3210".

Try "catch (Throwable t)" rather than "catch (Exception e)". Catching Exception will not catch everything.

You might want also to try the Samsung Mobile developer website.

And which is the device your friend is using, on which the code works fine?

that won't help much
when a technician or a developer asks for information you might want to try to give this information as specific as possible... "A Samsung device" isn't very specific...
It's like going to the doctor and telling him you are experiencing pain and when he asks you where you just answer that you are experiencing pain... should he help you for a migraine, a broken bone, or a punctured lung ?
A model would be better, if there are different hardware revision's the specific version would be nice also, also the firmware version would be handy etc etc...
