Android Question why i can't play mp3 from url ?

[王安邦]

http://203.64.253.13/cherry.mp3--> this url is correct
when i run the following code, i got two problems :
1. File.Exists("http",http://203.64.253.13/cherry.mp3) --> result is false
2. i can't play the audio file:cherry.mp3
Any help will be highly appreciated !

mp.Initialize2("mp")
mps.Initialize("mps")
If File.Exists("http","http://203.64.253.13/cherry.mp3") Then
'mps.Load("http://203.64.253.13/cherry.mp3" )
mp.Load( "http","http://203.64.253.13/cherry.mp3" )
lbStat.Text="選取播放的音樂為：" & CRLF & _
"來自網站資源" & CRLF & _
"http://203.64.253.13/cherry.mp3"
rb1.Checked=False
'mps.Play
mp.Play
Else
ToastMessageShow( _
"網路不通或欲播放的cherry.mp3 檔案不存在 !",False)
End If

I doubt file.exist will work for webbased stuff but only for the local file system and maybe smb.

Does it pass the if statement?

ok, with this it plays.

you forgot to add the play in the right event.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
mp.Initialize("mp")
mp.Load("http://203.64.253.13/cherry.mp3")
End Sub

Sub mp_StreamReady
  mp.Play
End Sub
