Media MIDlet Example
Creating more then one player in a MIDlet, Here we have created an 'item' object for Hashtable and put all 'wav' file in this table with object 'key' and object 'value' which maps the keys to value. In this example we created a list in which title of songs will be displayed on your mobile screen and you can choose any one at a time to play the song. After selecting the song to play, you can see a blank screen with two option button 'stop' and 'pause'. when you clicks on 'pause' button, start' button will show and song will be paused but when you clicks on start button then the song will continue, You can click on the left side 'stop' button to exit and return on songs list page.
In this example javax.microedition.media package is used to create the player. There are the following class and interface are in this package.
Control:- It is a interface which used to control some media processing functions.
Controllable:- Controllable provides an interface for obtaining the Controls from an object like a Player.
Player:- Player controls the rendering of time based media data.
PlayerListener:- PlayerListener is the interface for receiving asynchronous events generated by Players.
Manager:- Manager is the access point for obtaining system dependent resources such as Players for multimedia processing.
The Application is as follows:
