Fatal error - playing mp3 from a listview

[rickrack]

Hi all devs. I'm here because I need help, of course..

I made an application with a listview. When the user click on a listview item, an mp3 file starts.
It's perfect on my phone but on my friends' phones it gives errors..
1) clicking on a item, the apps gives them this error:

An error has occurred in sub:
main_listview1_itemclick (java
line: 331)
java.io.ioexception: setDataSourceFD failed.:
status=0x80000000
Continue? [y/n]

2) Ads not showing on their devices... the ads is not visible because it has these coordinates and it's impossible to show it on smaller screens:
AdView1.Initialize("Ad", "pub-id")

This is how the application should be

If you want you can check... this is the application. it's a fun mp3 compilation of a crazy man that screams everytime

*edit*
if you want i can post the complete source code of the application

I've installed it on my device and I can play the clips but the ad is not showing because is too far down the screen.

Look at this Screenshot

Maybe if you posted your code we could spot the problem.

Export it as a ZIP.

1) Which file does he try to play? This error is probably because the media player is not able to play this file.
2) You can put the ad wherever you want. If you want to put it at the bottom you should use:

Activity.AddView(AdView1, 0, 100%y - 50dip, 320dip, 50dip)

Thanks for replies.
This is is the zipped project

@Erel - what i have to write to put the ad at the bottom center ?

 

[NJDude]

Ok, I made some modifications to your project, download it HERE <link deleted>
The MP3's are NOT playing on some devices, on my EVO running Froyo runs fine but on my Galaxy Tab running Honeycomb I get the error message you posted.

 

[NJDude]

what i have to write to put the ad at the bottom center ?

You will have to add this code:

Activity.AddView(AdView1, 0, 100%y - 50dip, 320dip, 50dip)
AdView1.Left = (100%x - 320dip) / 2

 

[rickrack]

Thank you for assistance

unfortunately, it's ok on my galaxy nexus, but it gives me the same error i had before on the htc desire..

why isn't the ad showing in no one of these devices?

ps. i'll not post my id

*edit*
solved ad viewing problem

 

[rickrack]

Probabily it gives me the error message on the htc desire because the phone has a custom rom (cyanogenmod)?

 

[NJDude]

I don't think so, it has to be something else, one of my phones is custom and rooted and it works, and one that is a "plain vanilla" device doesn't like it, no idea what can it be.

 

[rickrack]

Don't worry
You were very helpful, thank you!

 

[rickrack]

I'm here, another time

I studied the problem... as I can see, the problem comes when in java this activity is called:

mostCurrent._mp.Load(anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords .Common.File.getDirAssets(),String.valueOf(mostCur rent._mp3list.Get(_position)));

It's not a mp3list problem..
Please help me if you can, thank you

 

[Erel]

It fails to read this song. You can try copying the file to the external storage and see if it changes anything.

 

[mcmanu]

same problem

I have the same Problem, sometimes it plays the mp3 file and sometimes the error message is shown. I have converted the mp3 file into a OGG file and now there is no error message but i dont like the Quality of Ogg.

Why is the mp3 file sometimes playing and sometimes get this Error message?

 

[Erel]

The native media player fails to load the song. I do not know why it happens. It is known that OGG files are better supported.

 

[mcmanu]

Thanks

Thank you Erel so i have to use OGG, because my hole app needs this sound hope i get the file with a good quality

 

[aklisiewicz]

can u post your code to play OGG

It's the same as with other files.
MP.Load(Directory, SomeFile.mp3)
MP.Load(Directory, SomeFile.wav)
MP.Load(Directory, SomeFile.ogg)
MP.Play
