Good morning. nice to meet you.

I found the source code in the forum, but it does not work.

Is there a way to solve this? (I want to work in Android mode.)

@Gwak===

minim does not work with android so you get a NPE: use mediaPlayer + setDataSource(yoururl)

Gwak

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import  android.content.res.Resources;
import android.content.res.AssetFileDescriptor;
import android.content.res.AssetManager;
import android.content.Context;
import android.app.Activity;

MediaPlayer snd = new MediaPlayer();
//AssetManager assets = this.getAssets();
AssetFileDescriptor fd;
Context context;
Button bPlay;
Activity act;

void setup()
{
  colorMode(HSB);
  size(800, 800);
  act = this.getActivity();
  context = act.getApplicationContext();
  try {

    fd = context.getAssets().openFd("https:"
        + "//translate.google.com/translate_tts"
        + "?ie=UTF-8&tl=ko-KR&client=tw-ob&q=Hello");
    snd.setDataSource(fd.getFileDescriptor(),fd.getStartOffset(), fd.getLength());
  }
  catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
  catch (IllegalStateException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  } 
  catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
 }

Dear akenaton,

1. Is the url wrong?

2. Or is it(source code) wrong?

@GWAK===

code is wrong: you are looking for an asset and not for an url. the url seems to work though i don't understand why you use "+". you never prepare and start the player.

(mod: the +s are fine, just string concat - i added them when i broke up the url to stop the forum formatter adding erroneous href markup)

@koogs===

ah! ok....but the code is wrong!
