[Android only] Audio file doesn't play

import {Media, MediaObject} from "@ionic-native/media/ngx";

  constructor(
      private media: Media,
  ) { }

      const mp3file: MediaObject = this.media.create(url);
      mp3file.play();

On iOs the code above is working properly, however on Android no sound is coming out and I have no error message.

Any idea ?

I have a solution for android 10.

1. Add to your <edit-config> in the config.xml file: <application android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" />

2. Make sure that the build.gradle in the /platforms/android/ folder has the variables configured for sdk api level 29: defaultBuildToolsVersion = “29.0.0” defaultMinSdkVersion = 19 defaultTargetSdkVersion = 29 defaultCompileSdkVersion = 29

3. Finally, make sure your build is running at sdk’s api level 29.

The error happens due to a lack of android permission on the external storage folder (android 10 updates).

Hello @Merwan1010

I did the same code (https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media/issues/277#issuecomment-624503732) in My Application But Audio file is not playing

mp3file.release(); // Don't forget to release ! Otherwise the audio won't play on Android after a certain amount of media created.

But I just debugged the code for the resolve the issue at that time I Just comment that mp3file.release() and audio file is playing fine so I am confused as per plugin it’s must release the file in Android but it’s working fine after comment that particular line So can you please guide me for this

Thanks!
