So,How I can solve this problem.If any know what is the problem please help. Thank in advance...

Answer 1

The android media player has a lot of problems. You cannot call a method while the media player is idle state.

Official Documents says like this.

Furthermore, the MediaPlayer objects created using new is in the Idle state, while those created with one of the overloaded convenient create methods are NOT in the Idle state. In fact, the objects are in the Prepared state if the creation using create method is successful.

use

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, Uri.parse("uriString"));

It's already calling prepare() method, so you can start use it freely. hope it would work.

Answer 2

It seems that you call MediaPlayer.getDuration() in a wrong state, according to the official document about MediaPlayer, MediaPlayer.getDuration() method can not be called when the MediaPlayer is in Idle, Initialized or Error state.

When you develop with MediaPlayer, you should take a good care of the MediaPlayer's state.
