How to play sound from sdcard with mediaplayer

[DOM85]

Hi,

I have to play sounds as external files located in sdcard.
Is it possible with mediaplayer? (I tried to replace "file.dirassets" parameter with my sdcard directory, but dont' work).
Thanks for help.

I am not the expert , but I guess you need to do that using intent but don't ask me how ;

Play sounds on SDcard

You should use the File.DirRootExternal and then the path/filename to play the file. File.DirRootExternal set permissions to the SDcard and returns "/mnt/sdcard". Add your path like:

MyAudio.Load(File.DirRootExternal & "/myfiles/audio", "mysound.mp3" )

Hope this helps.

UPDATE: I just tried this myself and I am getting NullPointer errors on the load command. I am looking into this to see if I can find out why. I'll post what I find.

Thank you Margret !!
I used your information like that and it works fine :
MyAudio.Load(File.DirRootExternal,"mydir/mysound.mp3")
Thank you very much!!!

But where did you find this parameter (File.DirRootExternal). I have such documentation problem with all the libraries. Thx.

parameters

If you type file in the b4a IDE and then press . a list will come up for auto complete. The DirRootExternal is in that list. Glad you have it working.
