Tutorial 12 (Sound and Audio)

1.​ Draw the general architecture framework for MediaPlayer and explain the framework.

MediaPlayer Framework:

[Audio/Video Source] → [MediaPlayer] → [Audio/Video Output]

Audio/Video Source: The source of the media (e.g., local file, network stream).

MediaPlayer: The core component that manages playback, including states like playing, paused,
and stopped.

Audio/Video Output: The device's speakers or display where the media is played.

Explanation: The MediaPlayer class in Android provides methods to control playback (e.g., start,
pause, stop) and manage the lifecycle of audio/video playback. It handles decoding, buffering,
and rendering media files.

2.​ List the possible sources of the sound/audio playback in a mobile application.

Local Files: Audio files stored in the device's internal or external storage.

Raw Resources: Audio files stored in the res/raw folder of the app.

Network Streams: Audio streams from online sources (e.g., radio, podcasts).

Asset Files: Audio files stored in the assets folder of the app.

3.​ How many states are available in a MediaPlayer object? List all states.

The MediaPlayer object has the following states:

Idle: The MediaPlayer is created but not initialized.

Initialized: The MediaPlayer is initialized with a data source.


Prepared: The MediaPlayer is ready to start playback.

Started: The MediaPlayer is playing audio/video.

Paused: The MediaPlayer is paused but can resume playback.

Stopped: The MediaPlayer is stopped and must be prepared again to restart.

Playback Completed: The MediaPlayer has finished playing the media.

Error: An error has occurred during playback.

End: The MediaPlayer is released and can no longer be used.

4.​ What are the states involved when music is played and completed (without pause)?

When music is played and completed without pause, the following states are involved:

Idle: MediaPlayer is created.

Initialized: MediaPlayer is initialized with the audio source.

Prepared: MediaPlayer is prepared for playback.

Started: MediaPlayer starts playing the music.

Playback Completed: MediaPlayer finishes playing the music.

End: MediaPlayer is released after playback is complete.
