74.10 Implementing the playAudio() method

The playAudio() method will simply create a new MediaPlayer instance, assign the audio file located on the SD card as the data source and then prepare and start the playback:

public void playAudio (View view) throws IOException

{

   binding.playButton.setEnabled(false);

   binding.recordButton.setEnabled(false);

   binding.stopButton.setEnabled(true);

 

   mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

   mediaPlayer.setDataSource(audioFilePath);

   mediaPlayer.prepare();

   mediaPlayer.start();

}
