Android player continues callbacks , buffering

Question

I'm using a MediaPlayer to play some sound from an online mp3 file in my app.

However, even after the play completes, I'm getting lines and lines of callsbacks and buffering in the console.

I tried calling stop() on the player but this just prevents the player from ever playing properly.

What can I do?

Answer 1

Hey I found this in my case too.

Try to add a OnCompletionListener.

voicePlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() { @Override public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) { mp.stop(); mp.reset(); } });

Answer 2

Are you sure that nothing else is running in the background (like Pandora)?

I found your question because my droid was producing the same logcat messages. Then I realized my Pandora app was paused, after ending the app the messages stopped.
