How to solve error “Unable to start activity Compo

问题:

I have written a code for alarming phone for a particular time, and the alarm will stop after that period. I have tried running this code in emulator, and everything runs smoothly. But when I tried this to my HTC Desire HD (Android 2.3.5), the application gets force closed. Can someone tells me what happened???

public class RingerActivity extends Activity{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
Button press;
boolean tone = true;
MediaPlayer mp;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    mp = new MediaPlayer();
    mp = MediaPlayer.create(RingerActivity.this, R.raw.alarm);
    try {
        mp.prepare();

    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Toast.makeText(this, e.getMessage() , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();         }
    mp.start();

    Handler h = new Handler();
    Runnable stopPlaybackRun = new Runnable() {
        public void run(){
            mp.stop();
            mp.release();
        }    
    };
    h.postDelayed(stopPlaybackRun, 20 * 1000);

    AudioManager manager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
    manager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
    int maxVolume = manager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
    manager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, maxVolume, 0);

}

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event){

    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP){
        Toast.makeText(this, "Volume Up", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        return true;
    }

    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN){
        Toast.makeText(this, "Volume Down", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        return true;
    }

    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

回答1:

The issue is due to a nullpointer exception at onCreate. Somtimes the Audio service is not returning the AudioManager.

Change the code :

AudioManager manager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
manager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
int maxVolume = manager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
manager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, maxVolume, 0);

as below in onCreate :

AudioManager manager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
if(manager!=null){
manager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
int maxVolume = manager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
manager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, maxVolume, 0);
}

回答2:

Try using this code,

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    mp = MediaPlayer.create(RingerActivity.this, R.raw.alarm);
    // are you sure that res/raw/alarm is a valid media file?
    mp.start();

回答3:

You have a NullPointerException on line 35 in your activity. Fix it.

回答4:

MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.alarm);
mp.prepare(); <- Error, delete this line in your code

You no need to call the method "prepare();", the method "create(,);" does that for you. :)
