Java.io.IOException: setDataSource failed while playing mp4 record

Question

I want to play recorded mp4 data using Android Media Player, but when I try to play this error I showed:

java.io.IOException: setDataSource failed.

on android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource (MediaPlayer.java:1086)

on android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource (MediaPlayer.java:1032)

This is my code:

final ImageView play = (ImageView) root.findViewById(R.id.voice_play); play.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { try { player = new MediaPlayer(); if (player.isPlaying()) { player.reset(); } player.setDataSource("file://mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.myapp.apptalk/AudioRecorder/22-Oct-2015 11:26:14.mp4"); player.prepare(); seekbar.setMax(player.getDuration()); if (isPlay) { player.stop(); play.setImageResource(R.drawable.play); handler.removeCallbacks(runnable); isPlay = false; } else { player.start(); runnable = new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { seekbar.setProgress(player.getCurrentPosition()); handler.postDelayed(this, 1000); } }; handler = new Handler(); handler.post(runnable); play.setImageResource(R.drawable.stop); isPlay = true; } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }); 

Can anybody help?

I just solved this problem yesterday

Instead of direct access to setDataSource, specify the path to the file

 try { Log.d("SetDatasource path", playRecordPath); File filePath = new File(playRecordPath); if (!filePath.exists()) { filePath.createNewFile(); } FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(filePath); mMediaRecordingPlayer.setDataSource(is.getFD()); mMediaRecordingPlayer.prepare(); is.close(); } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (SecurityException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IllegalStateException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } 

And then in the onPrepared method

 @Override public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) { mMediaRecordingPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); mMediaRecordingPlayer.setVolume(1.5f, 1.5f); mMediaRecordingPlayer.start(); duration = mMediaRecordingPlayer.getDuration(); mSeekBarPlayer.setMax(duration); mSeekBarPlayer.postDelayed(onEverySecond, 1000); } 

when initializing the media player do this

 mMediaRecordingPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); mMediaRecordingPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this); 

And in your work you must realize this

 public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnPreparedListener
