Is there anybody can help me ? I want to choose some sound ( anywhere in the phone) and send information of this sound to another Activity to play it

Question

I have no idea about choosing a audio file .mp3 , wma... in sd card (That's in the Setting Activity and send the sound to the Main activity for playing it by user). And what kind of information (of this sound ) can i send to Main activity to play it? .I'm sorry, but my 'reputation' is too low to post a picture. Thanks.

First, please frame question properly. Atleast, use proper English and remove these extra (...) and (???). Now to your question, if I am not getting it wrong you need a default sound for your app you can store any sound/video or any other file in res/raw directory and then reference it. — Amit Tripathi, Jan 24 '15 at 14:14

Okay, Here you go

Set the path of file like this-

String SD_CARD_PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();

new File(SD_CARD_PATH + "/" + "your_file_name.mp3");

Code from this SO answer

and use android MediaPlayer to play the song.

public void playSong(String file_path){
    MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    try{
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(file_path);
        mediaPlayer.prepare();
        mediaPlayer.start();
    } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Thanks. But I don't know exactly my file :( "your_file_name.mp3"), because the user will choose it from their phone. I'm looking for a brouser, might be. – Kỳ Đoàn Văn Jan 24 '15 at 14:55
