Android SDK : Can I convert InputStream to FileInputStream?

I need to streaming media and video from samba server to android, and I use JCIFS to get inputstream from samba file.
But in MediaPlayer only can use fileinputstream.getFD() to play media.

mp = new MediaPlayer();

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(convertedFile);
mp.setDataSource(fis.getFD());

Toast.makeText(this, "Success, Path has been set", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

mp.prepare();
mp.start();

I can't getFD() from inputstream so that I need to convert inputstream to fileinputstream...
Please give me a suggest, or there hava others solution to streaming media from samba server ?

This is my SmbFileInputStream, but it's not equals than fileinputstream

SmbFileInputStream f = new SmbFileInputStream(new SmbFile(filePath,auth));

Thanks a lot.

You can create a ParcelFileDescriptor pipe using createPipe(). You would copy bytes from your FileInputStream into an OutputStream on your end of the pipe, and give the FileDescriptor from getFileDescriptor() to MediaPlayer. Whether this will work or not with your desired stream is a completely different matter, but it's the only way I know of to get a FileDescriptor that represents arbitrary content.

Here is a sample application demonstrating this, in the context of implementing openFile() on a ContentProvider.
