Understanding Multimedia files
 MP4 / any other video file is just like a zip file that can package (container format)
video elements, audio elements, and metadata that provide information about the
title or cover art of the video
 Keeping audio and video elements together is usually referred to as multiplexing
 Audio/video, in its raw form, is typically very large that makes it unsuitable for
storage or transport; needs to be compressed with algorithms, referred as codecs
(compressor–decompressor)
 Android platform supports several media codecs and container formats1 to provide
capabilities to play and record a wide variety of audio, video, and images

Understanding Multimedia files
 Once media is available in a container, it is ready to play
 To play it, first audio and video elements get separated (de-multiplexed)
 Individual elements are then decompressed back to the raw format using
respective codec
 finally processed by the smart device in order to play
 Decompressing the video elements results in displaying a series of images on the
screen, and
 Decompressing the audio elements results in a sound stream on the speakers of
the device
 Both these elements are synchronized with the help of metadata

Introduction

 Android provides multimedia capabilities to developer via APIs


 With API, Build apps with features that require interacting, recording,
playing, and storing audio, video, and image elements
 Media file may be stored on the device itself as an app resource, or
streamed over a network
 A developer may simply use the built-in app of Android to playback the
media, but to get more flexibility and control on playback, in-app
mechanism comes handy.
 In-app mechanism is implemented using MediaPlayer API, which is pivotal
to audio and media playback

In App Mechanism

 Built-in app of Android is available to playback the media, but to get more flexibility
and control on playback, in-app mechanism comes handy
 in-app mechanism is implemented using MediaPlayer API
 use an implicit Intent to start the intended music player app
 The setDataAndType() method is used to set the data source and the type of audio
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(“http://www.mobmusicstore.com/music.mp3”); Playing audio file
i.setDataAndType(uri,“audio/*”);
startActivity(i);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.parse (“http://www.mobmusicstore.com/video.mp4”);
Playing video file i.setDataAndType(uri,“video/*”);
startActivity(i);

In-app Mechanism

 MediaPlayer API is the


underlying engine to retrieve,
decode, and playback the
media elements
 MediaPlayer object behaves
as a state machine and has its
own life cycle and states

In-app Mechanism

 idle state is the first state , player object gets into, as soon as it is created
 initialized state is to set the data source – a file path or an HTTP URL of the
media stream. setDataSource() method is used to achieve this
 media stream needs to be fetched and decoded so that it can be prepared
for playback by using prepareAsync() during prepared state
 Once it is prepared, can be started using start(), followed by play() to
playback the media stream
 The media stream can now be paused or stopped by calling pause() or stop()
 call release(), once the MediaPlayer object is not required anymore, which
takes it to the end state
 An invalid method call from any state may result in errors and exceptions

In-app Mechanism

 key life-cycle methods and states of the MediaPlayer object are


listed

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this,Uri.parse (“http://www.mobmusicstore.com/music.mp3”));
if(mediaPlayer==null)
{
Toast.makeText(this, “Unable to create Media player”, 4000).show();}
else
Toast.makeText(this, “Playing song”, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
mediaPlayer.start();
app requires an INTERNET permission,

<uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.INTERNET”/>
<uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.WAKE_LOCK”/>
