Play audio from server path

Question

I want to play an audio in background on click of an image, below is XML code of the image

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/img_play"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/buttonplayicon"
        android:layout_below="@+id/btnChangeImage"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        android:contentDescription="@string/blank"
        android:tag="0"
         />

below is the code to play an audio

public void audioPlayer(String path){

            Uri uri = Uri.parse("SERVERPATH/abc.mp3");
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
            startActivity(intent);
}

This plays an audio but it opens in the browser and plays it, Does any one know to play this in background without opening it in browser?

First check that are you getting proper url of audio from server?? — Piyush, Jun 16 '14 at 05:30
yes I checked. When I open the audio link in web browser, it plays the audio file. — Pradnnya Bhat, Jun 16 '14 at 05:33
I want it to play in the background, without opening in the browser. — Pradnnya Bhat, Jun 16 '14 at 05:36
If you want to play in background then you need to use service or brodcast receiver. — Piyush, Jun 16 '14 at 05:37
The issue was with the permissions. I added the INTERNET permission to your manifest file and it worked. — Pradnnya Bhat, Jun 16 '14 at 06:37

first your intialize the media player in your app.

MediaPlayer mp ;
mp = new MediaPlayer();

set the path and file name and then start your media in bg.

mp.setDataSource(path+fileName);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();

// Set data source -
setDataSource("/sdcard/path_to_song");

// Play audio
mp.start();

// Pause audio
mp.pause();

// Reset mediaplayer
mp.reset();

// Get song length duration - in milliseconds
mp.getDuration();

// Get current duration - in milliseconds
mp.getCurrentDuration();

// Move song to particular second - used for Forward or Backward
mp.seekTo(positon); // position in milliseconds

// Check if song is playing or not
mp.isPlaying(); // returns true or false
