All I have been doing for the past 8 hours is trying to come up with a simple recorder/ playback app. I want to be able to record the audio in 3GP and then have it automatically loaded into the MediaPlayer so that I can play it back. I am 80% sure that it is recording and saving to the location specified in the code, but when I try and load it into my media player I always get this error. I have tried loading the toto_africa.mp3 file too to make sure it's not the recorded file's problem, and it still gives me this error. Any help with this error would be much appreciated because I have searched everywhere for the answer. I guess a more specific question would be: How do I properly get my MediaPlayer and MediaRecorder communicating and functioning correctly?
