Not very easy to explain:
I have this app for streaming online radio. The problem was first with m3u format (which android somehow cannot normally stream like pls), so I have to parse the url with this ParserM3UToURL (that I found somewhere)... like this:
Uri u = Uri.parse(ParserM3UToURL.parse(STREAM_URL, sdkVersion, c));
player = MediaPlayer.create(c, u);
Mostly it works ok but it has one bug...
I'm testing this on two devices one old 2.2.2. (api level 17), other 4.3 (api level 23). Older device works fine. It can stream radio over wifi or mobile data, but the newer device has some problem with streaming over mobile data (on wifi it works ok). The application crashes because the parse function returns null: http://pastebin.com/ghbAqGzM
And I assume there are many more phones with 4.x than 2.x android. Which of course is very painful for me. Somehow I have to fix this.. So I really hope somebody will have some clue about this. I hope my explanation was not to confusing...
This is the ParserM3UToURL.parse() function:
public static String parse(String paramString, int sdkVersion, Context c)
{
try
{
StrictModeWrapper.init(c);
HttpURLConnection localHttpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection)new URL(paramString).openConnection();
InputStream localInputStream = localHttpURLConnection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader localBufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(localInputStream));
StringBuffer localStringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
while (true)
{
String str = localBufferedReader.readLine();
if (str == null)
{
localHttpURLConnection.disconnect();
localBufferedReader.close();
localInputStream.close();
break;
}
if (str.contains("http"))
{
localHttpURLConnection.disconnect();
localBufferedReader.close();
localInputStream.close();
return str;
}
localStringBuffer.append(str);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
