Im at work just now but will try when i get home if i don't get any answer here. I have an app (android) that plays audio from dropbox link in html doc. My question is if i add the audio files direct to bt docs audio folder how do I reference it to be used from html screen. Is it just src="filename.mp3"

HI Mr stuck. Yes if you have your mp3 files in your docs older. You can not have a under folder in docs folder if it is Android. Xcode put it where ever you want. Look here. http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_sounds.asp

Thanks. So i add the files to the bt docs folder but not in the audio folder. Cool.

@Mr stuck, When I downloaded the quiz from here, I put the sound in audio..not sure if it's the same thing with html. I believe in html, it depends on the audio player your using. LA

@LA I am using the html audio tag. Just thought it would be better if the audio was in the app to save users data plan. Will try a few things out when i get time but the app works ok streaming it. Thanks

You should be able to put it right in your app, unless your using html for another reason. LA

Good topic!

@LA I tried and failed to set audio as background music as it seems it only works for ios so the only way i could achieve audio was via the html5 audio tag. After using this tag the audio continued to play even after exiting the screen or app but i managed to find the piece of code to resolve that so all works fine now, I have hidden the audio controls also as they were causing a weird problem with track resuming after watching YouTube. It appears the paused audio was held in the background and started again after using YouTube. I just am not comfortable with end users having to eat up their data to listen to the same tracks so thought it may be better to include the mp3 files directly in the app. I could not find any other method to get audio to play in android app but open to any suggestions. Thanks again

@Mr stuck, I am sure you already looked at this but going to give you the link anyway: http://developer.android.com/training/managing-audio/audio-focus.html I believe your problem is within the KeyEvent, Audio focus...and with your android controls. Mp3 is not the most stable format anymore. You using a playlist? LA

One more point, how you call your Audio Focus in your steps of Start, pause, and kill the app process will determine the order so I would suggest calling the audio focus way early in your steps of an app cycle before the playback. Does this make sense? LA

Thanks LA. Im not using java to play the audio as i can t code but the audio tag html is simple enough to implement. I am using a menu with image to display list of tracks which when selected launch a custom url screen to a html doc on drop box which plays audio. Perhaps if i send you send you the apk you will get a better idea just send me your email. But it is just a very simple app although i have some ideas for expanding it in future. Thanks again

Sure no problem..it's [email protected] LA

Cool. Apk sent. Thanks
