  1. A simple native audio player API wrapper
  2. Others found were complex & provided no way to be integrate as library
  3. Some even involved compilation using Android NDK

Features

  1. Provides default UI truly making it an integrable player.
  2. Ability to set multiple custom click handlers to play and pause buttons.
  3. No dependencies.

Including in your project

AudioWife is presented as an Android library project.

You can include this project by referencing it as a library project in Eclipse or ant.

This project has NO DEPENDENCIES.

Download

Gradle:


{
	compile 'net.the4thdimension:audio-wife:1.0.3'
}

Requires Android 4.0+.

Getting started

Permission required to play audio

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

##Using default player UI

AudioWife comes with a simple default player UI that you can use right away. This is the simplest and fastest way to get AudioWife working.

// mPlayerContainer = Parent view to add default player UI to.
AudioWife.getInstance().init(mContext, uri)
		.useDefaultUi(mPlayerContainer, getLayoutInflater());

##Using custom player UI

You can initialize the custom player controls of your UI using AudioWife


// initialize the player controls
mPlayMedia = findViewById(R.id.play);
mPauseMedia = findViewById(R.id.pause);
mMediaSeekBar = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.media_seekbar);
mRunTime = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.run_time);
mTotalTime = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.total_time);

// AudioWife takes care of click handler for play/pause button
AudioWife.getInstance()
		 .init(mContext, uri)
		 .setPlayView(mPlayMedia)
		 .setPauseView(mPauseMedia)
		 .setSeekBar(mMediaSeekBar)
		 .setRuntimeView(mRunTime)
		 .setTotalTimeView(mTotalTime);

// to explicitly pause
AudioWife.getInstance().pause();


// when done playing, release the resources
AudioWife.getInstance().release();

##Add custom listeners

To extend the capabilities of AudioWife, custom click listeners can be attached. Refer to source documentation for more details.


AudioWife.getInstance().addOnCompletionListener( new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
	
	@Override
	public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
		Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Completed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
			 .show();
		// do you stuff
	}
});

AudioWife.getInstance().addOnPlayClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
	
	@Override
	public void onClick(View v) {
		Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Play", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
			 .show();
		// Lights-Camera-Action. Lets dance.
	}
});

AudioWife.getInstance().addOnPauseClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
	
	@Override
	public void onClick(View v) {
		Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Pause", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
			 .show();
		// Your on audio pause stuff.
	}
});

Why the name 'AudioWife'?

This relates with another Android AudioRecorder library project that is coming soon. The name AudioWife comes from an analogy of a married couple where the wife is an active Player, hence AudioWife for Audio Player and husband being a Listener hence AudioHusband for Audio Recorder.

Later found that Audio Recorder Library project already exists for Android. You can find it here.
