" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: uri.getScheme() == null! " error using JavaFX to play audio

Question

I'm trying to play mp3 audio on Java, and one of the forms. I belive is JavaFX, and all goes OK, until I try to play the audio.

This is the code:

import javax.sound.sampled.AudioPermission;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
import javafx.stage.Stage;


public class fx_main extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        Button btn = new Button();
        btn.setText("Say 'Hello World'");
        btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                System.out.println("Hello World!");


                Media m = new Media("/04.mp3");
                MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(m);

                mp.play();

            }
        });

        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(btn);

         Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);

        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
 }

And when i press the button and try to load the sound file, appears this exception:

How can I fix the error? I want to play the audio file when I click?

Answer 1

The constructor for Media requires a URL, so you'd need something starting with http:// or file://

btn.setOnAction(e -> {
  Media m = new Media(Paths.get("04.mp3").toUri().toString());
  new MediaPlayer(m).play();
});`

See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/media-tutorial/simpleplayer.htm

It also helps that both Path and File objects can be converted to URLs.

Answer 2

You can also try:

Media letterSound = new Media(new File(sound).toURI().toString());
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(letterSound);
mediaPlayer.play();
