Android Question Mediaplayer on Jelly Bean (4.2.2) and KitKat

[Rusty]

I have been running mediaplayer with very short .mp3 files (about 390 ms) (words like Mr., Ms. etc.)
On ICS, these files play properly and the complete event fires appropriately.
Using the exact same .mp3 files and software, running the on the Jelly Bean or KitKat device, the mediaplayer1_complete event fires instantaneously without playing the file (even though i load and play it)
Files that are 600 ms such as Mrs. play just fine on all devices.
Is a 390 ms file too short for mediaplayer to load, play and fire a compete event?
I was using the newest compiler 4.0 and retro-installed the 3.82 and the same results occurred, so it is likely not the compiler version.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rusty

The B4A version doesn't matter as it is the native media player that manages the file and raises the event.

Try to use SoundPool instead for short files.

Thanks Erel.
So it is an operating system difference then. It appeared to be so.
We took the very short files, recorded 150ms more silence on them and they do work now, but we will look at the soundpool.
Thanks for your great support!
