Superpowered Android NDK: get positionPercent to update audio progress seekbar

Question

I am using the superpowered AdvancedAudioPlayer to play mp3s on Android. I want to use a seekbar to show progress as the file plays. My plan was to get the positionPercent attribute of the player once a second using a Runnable on the Java side, and update the seekbar using the result. I've tried many different approaches but all have resulted in crashes, either with a SIGILL, or just a notification on the emulator that "Unfortunately, xxx has stopped." (xxx being the name of the app.)

Here is my latest attempt.

Java code:

 private int timeSliderInterval = 1000; // 1 second
 Runnable doUpdateTimeSlider;
 final Handler timeSliderHandler = new Handler();

 void startUpdateTimeSlider() {
     doUpdateTimeSlider.run();
 }

 void stopUpdateTimeSlider() {
     timeSliderHandler.removeCallbacks(doUpdateTimeSlider);
 }

 @Override
 public void onDestroy() {
     super.onDestroy();
     stopUpdateTimeSlider();
 }

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     setContentView(R.layout.activity_play);;

     doUpdateTimeSlider = new Runnable() {
         @Override
         public void run() {
             updateTimeSlider();
             timeSliderHandler.postDelayed(this, timeSliderInterval);
         }
         void updateTimeSlider() {
             float pp;
             // this is where problems begin!
             pp = getPositionPercent();
             int ppint = (int) (pp*100);
             timeSlider.setProgress(ppint);
         }
     };


private native int getPositionPercent();

C++ code:

 float SuperpoweredExample::getPositionPercent () {
     float pp = 0.01f;
     pp = player1->positionPercent;
     return pp; }

extern "C" JNIEXPORT jint Java_org_irthlingz_ChoirherenceA3_PlayActivity_getPositionPercent(JNIEnv * __unused javaEnvironment, jobject __unused obj) {
    example->getPositionPercent();
}

The app builds and starts without error. But when I get to the place that would execute SuperpoweredExample::getPositionPercent it crashes.

The Runnable part by itself works. But as soon as I try to retrieve the positionPercent, I get a crash of one sort or another.

One other thing: If I comment out the cast to an int and line following it:

         int ppint = (int) (pp*100);
         timeSlider.setProgress(ppint);

I still get a SIGILL. So those lines are not the problem at this point.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

The JNIEXPORT statement needed a "return" :

return example->getPositionPercent();

instead of what I had:

example->getPositionPercent();
