I'm writing an audio player for short audio duration (typically 1-5 seconds) as following
//start media player
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(context, Uri.fromFile(audioCache));
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
@Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
stopPlaying(true);
}
});
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mediaPlayer.start();
startPlayingTimer();
}
});
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
int UI_UPDATE_FREQ = 1000/ 60 + 1;
private void startPlayingTimer() {
playerRunnable = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
uiHandler.post(updateWaveRunnable);
handler.postDelayed(this, UI_UPDATE_FREQ);
}
};
handler.postDelayed(playerRunnable, UI_UPDATE_FREQ);
}
Runnable updateWaveRunnable = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
int position = mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition();
updateDurationLabel(position);
}
}
};
The problem is that mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition() returns glitter values
curPos/total: 1/1003 /(AudioView.java:323)
curPos/total: 13/1003 /(AudioView.java:323)
curPos/total: 34/1003 /(AudioView.java:323)

curPos/total: 226/1003 /(AudioView.java:323)
curPos/total: 246/1003 /(AudioView.java:323)
-> values jump back to smaller one

This causes the UI laggy/buggy. I saw an report on Android issues but there is no given solution: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2559.
Any help?
ExoPlayer is a good alternative to MediaPlayer. It resolves my issue at least.
