Music plays only one time from server in online music player

I designed an online music player which streams file from my server and shows them in a recyclerView. when I click on the specific song it plays automatically, but when I go back to my recyclerview and I choose it again it doesn't play anymore and even duration of song becomes an insane number. I even tried to handle my media player onBackPressed() method or in OnRestart() or onResume() method. I'm confused. Please let me know about any suggestion.
Here's my code for player:
public class PlayerActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
private CircularMusicProgressBar cover;
private ImageButton playPause, rewind, forward, repeat, fav, download;
private TextView title, term, spendingTime, totalTime, emptyRec;

#Override

switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.play_pause:
if (i == 1) {
i = 2;
playPause.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_baseline_play);
mediaPlayer.pause();
} else {
i = 1;
playPause.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_baseline_pause);
int b = mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition();
mediaPlayer.seekTo(b);
mediaPlayer.start();
}

Well I reviewed your codes and it seems you aren't using Media player class properly.
I made a few changes to each block of your codes. I hope it solves your problem.
First of all change the following scope:
public static MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
To
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
I made a method for your mediaPlayer and you should use it in your onCreate() :
private void prepareMediaPlayer() {
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(context, uri);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
updateSeekBarTimer();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
A method to update your seekbar :
private void updateSeekBarTimer() {
try {
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
total_time = mediaPlayer.getDuration();
current_time = mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition();
totalTime.setText("" + utils.milliSecondsToTimer(total_time));
spendingTime.setText("" + utils.milliSecondsToTimer(current_time));
int progress = (int) (utils.getProgressPercentage(current_time, total_time));
seekBar.setProgress(progress);
Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
updateSeekBarTimer();
}
};
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 1000);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
And finally you need an Interface to decide what happens when your track ends:
public class PlayerActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener, MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
handler.removeCallbacks(null);
playPause.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_baseline_play);
if (rep) {
mediaPlayer.start();
playPause.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_baseline_pause);
updateSeekBarTimer();
} else {
seekBar.setProgress(0);
totalTime.setText(R.string.zero_time);
spendingTime.setText(R.string.zero_time);
playPause.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_baseline_play);
mediaPlayer.reset();
prepareMediaPlayer();
}
}

CountDownTimer adds time with each loop

I'm working on a fragment that includes two timers that take user input. Timer B is linked to timer A such that when timer A is started, so is timer B. The purpose of timer A is to count down once. The purpose of timer B is to count down, beep once at 0, reset to the original value, and repeat. The problem I'm having is that when timer B reaches 0, it doesn't reset and start counting down right away. The timer seems to be delayed further by calling ToneGenerator. This results in the two timers becoming more and more out of sync each time timer B resets.
For example, say timer A is set to 10 seconds and timer B is set to 2 seconds.
-The timers are started-
timer A:10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
timer B: 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1
The timer only beeps 3 times (when timer B is at 0,) when it should beep 5 times (5 sets of 2 second intervals = 10 seconds: the value of timer A.) In other words, I'd like timer B to beep when timer A is at 8, 6, 4, 2, and 0.
How might I accomplish this?
I've consulted the forums, YT, and have tried playing around with the value for millisInFuture.

Count down timer how to implement onfinish method

I have a countdown timer that i want to implement on finish method or some kind of code so that when the timer stops, the text views change to Time's up and another method is initiated (in the activity).
To clarify, the timer is given a starting number that counts down from, to zero in format of xx:xx.
The class of the timer :
public class countdown_timer {
private long pls;
private long millisInFuture;
private long countDownInterval;
private boolean status;
public countdown_timer(long pMillisInFuture, long pCountDownInterval) {
this.millisInFuture = pMillisInFuture;
this.countDownInterval = pCountDownInterval;
this.pls = pMillisInFuture;
status = false;
Initialize();
}
public void Stop() {
status = false;
}
public void Reset() {
millisInFuture = pls;
}
public long getCurrentTime() {
return millisInFuture;
}
public void Start() {
status = true;
}
public void Initialize()
{
final Handler handler = new Handler();
Log.v("status", "starting");
final Runnable counter = new Runnable(){
public void run(){
long sec = millisInFuture/1000;
if(status) {
if(millisInFuture <= 0) {
Log.v("status", "done");
} else {
Log.v("status", Long.toString(sec) + " seconds remain");
millisInFuture -= countDownInterval;
handler.postDelayed(this, countDownInterval);
}
} else {
Log.v("status", Long.toString(sec) + " seconds remain and timer has stopped!");
handler.postDelayed(this, countDownInterval);
}
}
};
handler.postDelayed(counter, countDownInterval);
}
The activty that the timer is used:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_card_game_2);
//...find views
mycounterup = new countdown_timer(startcard, 1000);
mycounterdown = new countdown_timer(startcard, 1000);
RefreshTimer();
mycounterdown.Start();
public void RefreshTimer()
{
final Handler handler = new Handler();
final Runnable counter = new Runnable(){
public void run(){
int minutes_up_start = (int) (mycounterup.getCurrentTime() / 1000) / 60;
int seconds_up_start = (int) (mycounterup.getCurrentTime() / 1000) % 60;
String time_2_up_start_formatted = String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "%02d:%02d", minutes_up_start, seconds_up_start);
card_2_up.setText(time_2_up_start_formatted);
int minutes_down_start = (int) (mycounterdown.getCurrentTime() / 1000) / 60;
int seconds_down_start = (int) (mycounterdown.getCurrentTime() / 1000) % 60;
String card_2_down_start_formatted = String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "%02d:%02d", minutes_down_start, seconds_down_start);
card_2_down.setText(card_2_down_start_formatted);
handler.postDelayed(this, 100);
}
};
handler.postDelayed(counter, 100);
}

You can use CountDownTimer:
new CountDownTimer(endsIn * 1000, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
timerTextView.setText(String.valueOf(millisUntilFinished/1000);
}
public void onFinish() {
}
}.start();
OR:
extend CountDownTimer class:
public class countdown_timer extends CountDownTimer {
TextView textView;
#Override
public void onTick(long millisInFuture) {
long sec = millisInFuture/1000;
if(millisInFuture <= 0) {
Log.v("status", "done");
} else {
Log.v("status", Long.toString(sec) + " seconds remain and timer has stopped!");
}
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
if(textView != null){
// change text in your textview
}
}
public countdown_timer(long pMillisInFuture, long pCountDownInterval) {
super(pMillisInFuture, pCountDownInterval);
}
public countdown_timer(TextView textView, long pMillisInFuture, long pCountDownInterval) {
super(pMillisInFuture, pCountDownInterval);
this.textView = textView;
}
}
here is a two constructors, one of them is the same as is in your example and in second one you can pass also TextView object and use it in onFinish() method.
UPDATE 2:
Here is CountDownTimer in the Activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView textView;
CountDownTimer mycounterdown;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
long startcard = 10000;
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.test);
mycounterdown = new CountDownTimer(startcard, 1000) {
#Override
public void onTick(long mycounterup) {
int minutes_up_start = (int) (mycounterup / 1000) / 60;
int seconds_up_start = (int) (mycounterup / 1000) % 60;
String time_2_up_start_formatted = String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "%02d:%02d", minutes_up_start, seconds_up_start);
textView.setText(time_2_up_start_formatted);
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
// call here other methods from activity
testMethod();
}
};
mycounterdown.start();
}
public void testMethod(){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Test Method called", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
UPDATE 3: if last tick is one, not zero change count down interval to 500 instead of 1000:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView textView;
CountDownTimer mycounterdown;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
long startcard = 10000;
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.test);
mycounterdown = new CountDownTimer(startcard, 500) {
#Override
public void onTick(long mycounterup) {
int minutes_up_start = (int) (mycounterup / 1000) / 60;
int seconds_up_start = (int) (mycounterup / 1000) % 60;
String time_2_up_start_formatted = String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "%02d:%02d", minutes_up_start, seconds_up_start);
textView.setText(time_2_up_start_formatted);
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
// call here other methods from activity
testMethod();
}
};
mycounterdown.start();
}
public void testMethod(){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Test Method called", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
NOTE: take a look at this answer

First, extend CountDownTimer in your timer class.
public class countdown_timer extends CountDownTimer {
}
This allows you to implement some methods.
#Override
public void onTick(long l) {
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
}
Also you must implement constructor that matches super class. You can also add some additional parameters. For example TextView
TextView textView;
public countdown_timer(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval, TextView txt) {
super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
textView = txt;
}
The onFinish() is what you want. Also make sure you are using this class as a CountDownTimer. Then you will be able to start your timer.
Hope it helps.

Countdown Timer not counting correctly

When I pause the timer and then start it again it seems like the timer counts the current second again. For example it is 00:10, after half a second I stop the timer and when I start it again instead of going from 00:10 to 00:09 in half a second it counts a full second. I can't find what is wrong. Thanks for any help.

You can use Chronometer to display recording time. start the
Chronometer when recording start and stop it when recording stop
<Chronometer
android:id="#+id/chronometerRecordTime"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/relativeLayout_bottom_video_controls"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:visibility="invisible"/>
private Chronometer chronometerRecordTime;
chronometerRecordTime = findViewById(R.id.chronometerRecordTime);
chronometerRecordTime.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime()); // Reset
chronometerRecordTime.start(); // start
chronometerRecordTime.stop(); // stop

I have also crate timer to stop recording after one min. you can
modify it according to your requirement.
int myTimeCounter;
Timer myRecordingTimer;
private boolean myTimerHasStarted = false;
private String TAG = "Log";
private void startTimerTask() {
myTimeCounter = 1;
myRecordingTimer = new Timer();
myRecordingTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
myTimerHasStarted = true;
if (myTimeCounter == 60) {
myRecordingTimer.cancel();
myTimerHasStarted = false;
return;
}
Log.d(TAG, "timer=" + String.valueOf(myTimeCounter));
myTimeCounter++;
}
});
}
}, 0, 1000);
}

disable a thread on click

I am working on app that calculate time when specific app run, to save ram, I want to stop some of the threads by using check box. i want a command when I press the check box the thread stops even "if condition" is right"
the if conditon of detecting app :
if (MainActivity.tgbutton.isChecked())
{
if (packageName.equals("com.facebook.katana"))
{
if (f==1)
{
}
else
{
// Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"fb on", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
f=1;
facebook = true;
startTimef = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
customHandlerf.postDelayed(updateTimerThreadfacebook, 0);
}
}
else
{
if(f==1)
{
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"fb off", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
facebook = false;
timeSwapBufff += timeInMillisecondsf;
customHandlerf.removeCallbacks(updateTimerThreadfacebook);
f=2;
}
}
}
the check box :
blabla.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (((CheckBox) v).isChecked()) {
// what to write here to disable thread???
}
}
});
the thread itself :
private Runnable updateTimerThreadfacebook = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (facebook = true)
{
timeInMillisecondsf = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - startTimef;
updatedTimef = timeSwapBufff + timeInMillisecondsf;
int secsf = (int) (updatedTimef / 1000);
int minsf = secsf / 60;
secsf = secsf % 60;
MainActivity.facebook.setText("" + minsf + ":" + String.format("%02d", secsf));
customHandlerf.postDelayed(this, 0);
}
}
};

you should use value on your run method
public class MyClass implements Runnable{
boolean signal=false;
public setisFinish(boolean sig)
{
signal = sig;
}
#Override
public void run()
{
if(!signal)
//Do SomeThing
}
public void foo()
{
System.out.println("foo");
}
}
and in your click listener
blabla.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (((CheckBox) v).isChecked()) {
myThread.setisFinish(true);
}
}
});
this code resume your thread and you can start it whenever you whant and if you want interrupt your thread use this code
myThread.interrupt();

Overwrap your Runnable object with Thread class:
private Thread updateTimerThreadfacebook = new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (facebook = true) {
timeInMillisecondsf = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - startTimef;
updatedTimef = timeSwapBufff + timeInMillisecondsf;
int secsf = (int) (updatedTimef / 1000);
int minsf = secsf / 60;
secsf = secsf % 60;
MainActivity.facebook.setText("" + minsf + ":" + String.format("%02d", secsf));
customHandlerf.postDelayed(this, 0);
}
}
});
when you want to stop it use interrupt method.
updateTimerThreadfacebook.interrupt();
