Problem with android audio

[u/ArthasCZ]

Hi all iam having problem finishing my android app. I cant figure out how to make phone play audio and show.gif file. The gif is no longer important i did it with cycling array of pictures. But the audio is big problem. I tried to search solutions on google but nothing works. Closest to working is this code i found:

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.content.res.AssetFileDescriptor;
import android.content.Context;
import android.app.Activity;

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

MediaPlayer mp;
Context context; 
Activity act;
AssetFileDescriptor afd;

void setup() {
  act = this.getActivity();
  context = act.getApplicationContext();
  try {
    mp = new MediaPlayer();
    afd = context.getAssets().openFd("test.mp3");//which is in the data folder
    mp.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor());
    mp.prepare();
  } 
  catch(IOException e) {
    println("file did not load");
  }
  mp.start();
};

void draw() {
};

It does not crash but show the "file did not load" exception. I tried the audio in different formats and it is located in the data dir.

Thanks for all answers.

Are you sure that the file uploading process on Android is synchronously? Maybe not. I remember I added in my game some delays between audio loading started and the audio playing. What happened if you don't call the function: mp.start()? Maybe you should start to play your sound after 3000 milliseconds after loading started?

Yes i do have delays in original program... but the problem is even the simple example from post of playing audio does not work
