Audio files not Playing in Blackberry - audio

Question

I'm trying to play a recorded wave file. While playing, an exception is thrown at the following statement:
Player player = Manager.createPlayer(is, "audio/mpeg");
My entire code for playing the wave file is as follows:
if (types[cnt].equals("audio/x-wav")) {
Class clazz = Class.forName("RecordAudio");
InputStream is =
clazz.getResourceAsStream("file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/original.wav");
//create an instance of the player from the InputStream
Player player = Manager.createPlayer(is, "audio/mpeg");
player.realize();
player.prefetch();
//start the player
player.start();
}
What could be the problem?

Answer 1

The function getResourceAsStream is for pulling resources from a JAR/COD file, not from the filesystem. Plus, this is simpler than you are making it. Just pass the file name and path to createPlayer, like so:
try {
String filename = "file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/original.wav";
Player player = javax.microedition.media.Manager.Manager.createPlayer( filename );
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error creating player");
} catch (MediaException e) {
System.out.println("Error media type");
}

Answer 2

I believe it is because of wrong MIME type. Try this:
String fileName = "file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/original.wav";
String mimeType = "audio/x-wav";
String types[] = javax.microedition.media.Manager
.getSupportedContentTypes(null);
for (int cnt = types.length - 1; cnt >= 0; --cnt) {
if (types[cnt].equals(mimeType)) {
InputStream is = null;
FileConnection fconn = null;
try {
fconn = (FileConnection) Connector.open(
fileName, Connector.READ);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error reading file");
}
try {
is = fconn.openInputStream();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error opening stream");
}
Player player = null;
try {
player =
javax.microedition.media.Manager.createPlayer(
is, mimeType);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error creating player");
} catch (MediaException e) {
System.out.println("Error media type");
}
try {
player.realize();
} catch (MediaException e) {
System.out.println("Player cannot be released");
}
try {
player.prefetch();
} catch (MediaException e) {
System.out.println("Player cannot be prefetched");
}
// start the player
try {
player.start();
} catch (MediaException e) {
System.out.println("Player cannot be started");
}
}
}
Also see in console what kind of exception was thrown.
