    copied!<p>I'm building a simple app for an online radio station. I using this code to use the MediaPlayer to stream the station. It works great with one problem. I don't know how to show the listener what they're actually listening too. My code:</p> <pre><code>package com.xxxx.android; import java.io.BufferedOutputStream; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL; import java.net.URLConnection; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.IntentFilter; import android.database.Cursor; import android.app.Activity; import android.media.MediaPlayer; import android.media.MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener; import android.media.MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener; import android.net.Uri; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.Environment; import android.provider.MediaStore; import android.provider.MediaStore.Audio; import android.util.Log; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnClickListener; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.ProgressBar; import android.widget.TextView; @SuppressWarnings("unused") public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener { private final static String RADIO_STATION_URL = "http://"; private Button buttonPlay; private Button buttonStopPlay; private MediaPlayer player; private TextView showdisplay; private String strInfo; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); initializeUIElements(); initializeMediaPlayer(); } private void initializeUIElements() { buttonPlay = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonPlay); buttonPlay.setOnClickListener(this); buttonStopPlay = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonStopPlay); buttonStopPlay.setEnabled(false); buttonStopPlay.setOnClickListener(this); showdisplay = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.lblDisplay); } public void onClick(View v) { if (v == buttonPlay) { startPlaying(); } else if (v == buttonStopPlay) { stopPlaying(); } } private void startPlaying() { buttonStopPlay.setEnabled(true); buttonPlay.setEnabled(false); showdisplay.setText("Buffering.."); player.prepareAsync(); player.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() { public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) { player.start(); } }); } private void stopPlaying() { if (player.isPlaying()) { player.stop(); player.release(); initializeMediaPlayer(); } buttonPlay.setEnabled(true); buttonStopPlay.setEnabled(false); } private void initializeMediaPlayer() { player = new MediaPlayer(); try { player.setDataSource(RADIO_STATION_URL); } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IllegalStateException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } player.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(new OnBufferingUpdateListener() { public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mp, int percent) { Log.i("Buffering", "" + percent); } }); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); if (player.isPlaying()) { player.stop(); } } </code></pre> <p>How...specifically..and in great detail...do I update the Textview "showdisplay" with the artist and song title coming down from the radio stream in MediaPlayer?</p> <p>Thanks</p>
