@ Paul,

I have found a couple of commands which work OK in windows but when broadcast to the Android Player fail to operate correctly.

1. GetMusicDuration() when using the Demo file "music.mp3" the example below gives the correct value of 177 seconds in Windows, but on Android 2.3.3 and 4.0.3 I am getting a number way bigger than that (in the thousands)!

+ Code Snippet

Setvirtualresolution(640,480)
ResetTimer()

//Check for required files in media folder
fileok=GetFileExists("music.mp3")
If fileok<>1
    Repeat
        Print ("music.mp3 needs to be in your media folder")
        Sync()
    Until Timer()>5
EndIF

If fileok=1

    AddVirtualButton(1,200,240,80)
    SetVirtualButtonText(1,"Pause")
    AddVirtualButton(2,400,240,80)
    SetVirtualButtonText(2,"Resume")
    AddVirtualButton(3,600,440,80)
    SetVirtualButtonText(3,"Quit")
    
    id = LoadMusic("music.mp3")
    PlayMusic(id)
    duration#=GetMusicDuration(id)
    Repeat
        Print("Music Play Length: "+Str(duration#)+" Seconds")
        If GetVirtualButtonPressed(1)
            PauseMusic()
        EndIf
        If GetVirtualButtonPressed(2)
            ResumeMusic()
        EndIf
        Sync()
    Until GetVirtualButtonPressed(3) OR Timer()>duration#
    
    DeleteMusic(id)
    Print ("Music Deleted")
    Sync()
    Sleep(2000)
    
EndIf
End

2. SeekMusic(), under Android the Relative Mode of this command is acting in the same way as Absolute Mode. Tested on Android 2.3.3 and 4.0.3, however it works as expected in Windows. [UPDATE: Fixed in V2.0.11]

In the example the Skip Fwd button should skip the music forward 10 seconds from the present position, but under Android it just seeks to start+10 seconds.

Setvirtualresolution(640,480)

//Check for required files in media folder
fileok=GetFileExists("music.mp3")
If fileok<>1
    Repeat
        Print ("music.mp3 needs to be in your media folder")
        Sync()
    Until Timer()>5
EndIF

If fileok=1

AddVirtualButton(1,200,240,80)
    SetVirtualButtonText(1,"Rewind"+Chr(10)+"Start")
    AddVirtualButton(2,400,240,80)
    SetVirtualButtonText(2,"Skip"+Chr(10)+"Fwd")
    AddVirtualButton(3,600,440,80)
    SetVirtualButtonText(3,"Quit")
    
    Id=LoadMusic("music.mp3")
    PlayMusic(Id)
    Repeat
        Print("Current Music Position: "+Str(GetMusicPosition(),1)+" Seconds")
        If GetVirtualButtonPressed(1)
            //Seek back to 0 seconds, absolute (the beginning)
            SeekMusic(0,0)
        EndIf
        If GetVirtualButtonPressed(2)
            //Seek forward 10 seconds, relative (skip forward)
            SeekMusic(10,1)
        EndIf
        Sync()
    Until GetVirtualButtonPressed(3)
    
    DeleteMusic(Id)
    Print ("Music Deleted")
    Sync()
    Sleep(2000)
    
EndIf
End

Setvirtualresolution(640,480)

//Check for required files in media folder
fileok=GetFileExists("music.mp3")
If fileok<>1
    Repeat
        Print ("music.mp3 needs to be in your media folder")

I get 177 on both Windows and Android (5.0.1)

The SeekMusic bug on Android has been fixed for the next version.

@ Paul

I retested the GetMusicDuration() example on Android 4.0.3 using the latest AppGameKit player and I get a length of 4294967.500000 displayed.

Are any other users able to test on different versions of Android please?

That's an odd result. It's not microseconds.

Onwards and sometimes upwards

@ Paul

Thank you for fixing SeekMusic() in the latest V2.0.11 release.

I have done a bit more investigation into the problem I am having with GetMusicDuration().
The fix (for Android) is to move the command into the main Do/Loop thus..

// Project Example: GetMusicDuration()
// Created: 2015-02-04 (updated for Windows and Android)

//NOTE: For this example to work you will need to copy 'music.mp3'
//to the media folder at the location where you are running this example.
//The file can be found in your [AGK Install Directory]/Projects/Basic/Examples/Sound/PlayingMusic/media/

Setvirtualresolution(640,480)
ResetTimer()

//Check for required files in media folder
fileok=GetFileExists("music.mp3")
If fileok<>1
    Repeat
        Print ("music.mp3 needs to be in your media folder")
        Sync()
    Until Timer()>5
EndIF

If fileok=1

AddVirtualButton(1,200,240,80)
    SetVirtualButtonText(1,"Pause")
    AddVirtualButton(2,400,240,80)
    SetVirtualButtonText(2,"Resume")
    AddVirtualButton(3,600,440,80)
    SetVirtualButtonText(3,"Quit")
    
    id = LoadMusic("music.mp3")
    PlayMusic(id)

Repeat
	duration#=GetMusicDuration(id)
        Print("Music Play Length: "+Str(duration#)+" Seconds")
        If GetVirtualButtonPressed(1)
            PauseMusic()
        EndIf
        If GetVirtualButtonPressed(2)
            ResumeMusic()
        EndIf
        Sync()
    Until GetVirtualButtonPressed(3) OR Timer()>duration#
    
    DeleteMusic(1)
    Print ("Music Deleted")
    Sync()
    Sleep(2000)
    
EndIf
End

    DeleteMusic(1)
    Print ("Music Deleted")
    Sync()
    Sleep(2000)
    
EndIf
End

The example now works in Windows and Android, I have submitted the updated version to the on-line help files, please replace the original.
