Starting in Android 4.2, processes may have different views of the
filesystem depending on which user they're running as. For example,
"/sdcard/foo.mp3" could refer to different files for different users.
To correctly disambiguate filesystem paths, you'll need to open the
file in your app process and pass the FileDescriptor to the
mediaserver (which is shared between all users on a device).
Something like this should work:
MediaPlayer player;
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(myFile);
try {
player.setDataSource(fis.getFD());
} finally {
fis.close();
}
It sounds like the setDataSource(String path) method needs to be
fixed; tracking in 7962739.
