Trouble with playing audio from file

[AndroiDev]

Hi folks,

When the .mp3 file was in the res/raw folder, it played fine but when I tried to play it from another source using :

final String = " D:\\sample.mp3";
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource(path);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();

it doesn't play.

What could be the problem?

Try to change
final String = " D:\\sample.mp3";
to
final String = "/sdcard/sample.mp3";

That works for me.
