I am making an application for Stream audio song. In Custom media player, i have to show the total duration of that audio file.
If a audio song will be SDCard , i can know its duration using
MediaPlayer player;
public double duration() {
return player.getDuration();
}
But in my case audio file is on the server, so i have to stream it.
What is the best approach?
This might help you: Example of Streaming mp3 with android media player class .
The respective data is probably available, once prepare() is called for the file to be streamed.
I think this will give you the length of the file to be streamed. After the declaring the MediaPlayer mp object
mp.start();
totalDur=mp.getDuration();//will give you the duration in milliseconds.
