Is it possible to play an MP3 local file in Android (phonegap) using HTML5 <audio> tag?

[A J]

Hi all,

Is it possible to play an MP3 local file in Android (phonegap) using
HTML5 <audio> tag? I was able to do it on phonegap for my IOS device,
but not android device.

If its not possible, has anyone created a phonegap audio player with a
progress slider-bar using phonegap media api?
A progress slider bar that you can slide left/right to a specific
position in the audio playback?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi AJ,

Now I'm just setting the android development environment, so I haven't tried with Cordova. But I built in a html5 player inside JQM, wich I hope will works well with Cordova.

You can take a look at poc.artyficial.net/historias/index.html 

Next Ill try to make that web app a more "native" one :) and let you know.

Greetings.

Do you try to copy the audio in SD card first and play it?  I didn't try audio but I did in video.  It works

The audio tag is kinda broken in the Android WebView. I started
working on a bit of a monkey patch on Android using PhoneGap. My
project is in the beginning stages but it may be of some use to you.
Feel free to submit bugs/requests and code.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, playing .mp3 files from sdcard works.
Here is my html5 code:
<audio controls="controls">
<source src="file:///sdcard/test.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"/>
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
I would like to be able to play audio from within android_asset
folder.
I don't know if that's possible.
Let me know if you find a trick for it.

Thanks again,
AJ

Did you try the code at the url below:
https://gist.github.com/2380994
ie put mp3 into www and load '/android_asset/www/test.mp3' on android.
It works here.

Hi Dehash,

I've tried the following without any luck:
<audio controls="controls" style="width:100%">
<source src="/android_asset/www/test.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"/>

Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

I've placed my test.mp3 file in the www folder but still doesn't seem
to find it.
Remember I am trying to use the html5 audio tag to play the audio, not
Phonegap media api.

Thanks,
AJ

I had to do custom code to create a component that used the phonegap media api.

I'm going to go through my code and piece together what I have and I'll put it in this thread. It isn't useful as a plugin as it is mainly just custom javascript functions, but maybe the code itself will help people.
I use the html5 slider element for seeking. Basically all of the controls are custom, so you'd have to do your own styling, but I'll still put the code here and see if it helps anyone.

@Simon I looks like you are trying to do something that will be very helpful. I'll have a look, maybe there will be a way to use some of what I've done. Looks like you have play and pause, but maybe my slider, plus the code to make it work, will be a good addition.

Cheers,
Steph

Yeah, I just got play pause to work. I need to add the slider and duration of the song to the UI. On top of that I'm going to look into implementing the Audio API in my side project so it will be more HTML5 compliant. Feel free to fork and submit pull requests to the project, I'll take help anywhere I can get it.

The jQuery mobile slider could double as a progress/scrub bar for the
mp3 playback, something like:
$('#slider').val((position/duration)*100);
$('#slider').slider('refresh');

But that is dependent on jQuery.
