Re: [PhoneGap] PhoneGap Media API Events

[Simon MacDonald]

You need to register a status callback on your Media object.

var media = new Media(src, mediaSuccess, [mediaError], [mediaStatus]);

Thanks for your answer, Simon.
But, can you give some details about the status codes which is returned to the callback?

[Ahmad Thoriq]

No matter, just searched the cordove source code and here are the codes.

Media.MEDIA_NONE = 0;
Media.MEDIA_STARTING = 1;
Media.MEDIA_RUNNING = 2;
Media.MEDIA_PAUSED = 3;
Media.MEDIA_STOPPED = 4;

I'll try if it works well on my app. :D

You may see an off by one error in those status codes in Android as another state was accidentally inserted in the middle. It's been fixed in later releases so look for 2.1 when it is out very soon.
