Mediaplayer.getduration() Returns 0 After Setdatasource And Crashes App

I honestly have no idea why this is happening, when the code makes sense and following tutorials the same way. I first set the data source and surround it in a try and catch, set t

Solution 1:

You should call mediaPlayer.getDuration() once data source is prepared that is inside OnPreparedListener call back

            mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
                @Override
                public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
                    mediaPlayer.getDuration()
                    mediaPlayer.start();
                }
            });
