I am trying to play an audio file in Android but it seems to crash and give a the ResourcesNotFoundException
. The audio file is saved in the raw folder inside res. The name of the audio file is determined by a randomly generated number which is then concatenated to "audio".
int res = getResources().getIdentifier ( "audio"+arrayIndex, "raw","com.din.askak" );
MediaPlayer mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create ( MainActivity.this, res );
In the logcat it seems to throw the exception on the line creating the mediaPlayer. I don't know what I seem to be doing wrong???
Use of getIdentifier()
function is discouraged. It is much more efficient to retrieve resources by identifier rather than by name.
