Audio Not Playing in the App but playing in the Emulator

Joseph_R_2 · ‎10-12-2015

Hi,

I am facing the issue of the audio not being played from the installed App in the Mobile.

I am able to play the audio in the XDK Emulator but not in the Mobile.

The Error in the App Mobile App is code : 1 message : undefined

Here is the code

function playAudio(src) {

my_media = new Media(src, onSuccess, onError);
my_media.play();
}
function onSuccess() {
console.log("playAudio():Audio Success");
}
function onError(error) {
alert('code: ' + error.code + '\n' +
'message: ' + error.message + '\n');
}

</script>
</head>

<body>
<h3>Luger</h3>
<button onclick="playAudio('www/Shot.ogg');"> <img src="Luger.jpg" width="500" height="200"> </button

I used both Wav and Ogg, both are playing fine in the Emulator not in the Installed App

Please Help if possible, Thanks in Advance

Hello,

Which plugin are you using?

Emulator is just a simulator. There are some limitations just check out this link: https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/dev-emulator

Try to build with crosswalk and use either build or debug tab to see the actual behavior of the app.

First of all you can take look of one of our sample to understand how it works.

Here is the link: https://github.com/gomobile/sample-audio-player

.wav and .ogg files are the only ones compatible with the emulator. However, you can use .mp3 files without issues except that you should test on a built app or app preview.

Hi Amrita,

Thanks for your Example, but I think I figured out the problem here.

The issue is happening if the Sound File is present Locally in the www folder, If I give a Sound File URL to be played instead, it is getting played flawlessly in the App .

In your given example, the Cordova API Function has an URL for its playback, so its getting played both in the Emulator and the App.

I think the issue is with the Asset Compression in Android and the MP3 did not get compressed correctly.

I am adding the changed code

Thanks for your time again.
