[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer suddenly stopped working in Android 4.2

So, for all of you paying attention to this thread or having a similar issues with MediaPlayer.

It appears that the MediaPlayer is picky about what directly the files are stored in.

This is the change I made that suddenly caused things to start working again:

// File root = context.getExternalFilesDir("audio");
File root = new File(context.getExternalCacheDir(), "audio");
root.mkdirs();

If you are an Android OS dev reading this, this is broken!
