Sound manipulation using MediaPlayer – Android dev

Another tutorial for MobileSIG – how can you manipulate an MP3 sound file to play, pause and stop. Unfortunately, I still having some problems with PAUSE. I’ll figure out letter. Basically this example may PLAY and STOP a MP3 sound file source.

This is a half day project development, sorry for any inconvenient.

The application screenshot;

APP - Baca fatihah bersama ustaz Don

What the application does – basically it has the verses in Arabic, and the recitation. Click “>” to hear the recitation, click “henti” to stop. “II” is to pause (not yet functioning). Tested on Samsung Galaxy S and HTC Wildfire only.

The project setting;

The al-Fatihah recitation is in assets (01fatihah.mp3), the images are in res/drawable-mdpi (fatihah.png is the verses in Arabic).

The User Interface (main.xml);

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/islamicbg">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:keepScreenOn="true" android:text="al-Fatihah (1-7)"/>
<ImageView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/fatihah"
android:id="@+id/imageView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content"></ImageView>
<TableLayout android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/tableLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TableRow android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/tableRow1" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">
<Button android:text=" > " android:id="@+id/btnplay" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_column="0" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button android:text=" || " android:id="@+id/btnpause" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_column="1" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button android:text="henti" android:id="@+id/btnstop" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_column="2" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>

</LinearLayout>


The source code;

catch(Exception e) {}
}
else{

Most used STRING functions in my PHP coding

These are my favourite string manipulation functions in my daily coding life. Dedicated especially to Web Programming students. Read them and have fun. Expect a happiness after a storm , and you’ll find your “inner peace”… This post is still in draft. I’ll update and refine with more examples that I’ve personally develop. More after the break…
