Assuming that a proper header is set on the uri resource, will the file be cached in RAM or else the audio file is downloaded each time we play it? – GA1 Jul 19 '17 at 23:25

Try doing this:

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(/*Your-Context*/);
mp.setDataSource(/*MP3 file's Url*/);
mp.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener(){
onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp)
{
mp.start();
}
});
mp.prepareAsync();

how can i run a online mp3 audio file in mediaplayer service – Harsha Mar 30 '15 at 05:34
There is no constructor like MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(/*Your-Context*/); So I used, MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); Then the code is working. – Thirumalvalavan Nov 29 '16 at 09:46

If you simply want to open the stream in the default music player (so that you don't have to deal with implementing player buttons, continuing running in the background, etc.), you can use an Intent:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("http://example.com/file.mp3"), "audio/mp3");
startActivity(intent);

If you're not currently in an activity, use getBaseContext().startActivity(intent), or something else so that you can call startActivity() on a Context object.
