Android Question mp.load problem

[Tomas Petrus]

Updating old Android App to new versions and got a problem with mediaplayer

this is updated code supposed to play sound if the file exist

Sub PlaySound(Zvuk As String, Opakovani As Boolean)
    Dim rp As RuntimePermissions
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
    Wait For Activity_PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean)
    If Result = False Then Return

    Dim cesta As String = rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("shared")
       
    If File.Exists(cesta,Zvuk) = False Then
        LogColor("neeexistuje",Colors.Magenta)
    Else
        LogColor("Existuje",Colors.Magenta)
        mp.Load(cesta, Zvuk)
        mp.Looping = Opakovani
        mp.Play
    End If
End Sub

check for exists pass and then it crash on mp.load

any ideas ?

You don't need to request any permission here. Watch the runtime permissions video tutorial.

The problem is somewhere else.

 

[Tomas Petrus]

I thought so, but tried already all other ideas ...so..

any leads where the problem could be ? the file is added with file manager, exists check is ok and then on load it crashes..

You are using the file from the FILES Folder?

 

[Tomas Petrus]

Yep the old version were downloading the files from somewhere but after update it stoped working so I tried to include sound files directly to the app. and yes those sound files are in Files folder now
