Using MediaPlayer for Android Studio - android-mediaplayer

Question

I would like to automatically play music in the background when I enter this Fragment page. I believe the commented out section is how you implement it, but I might be typing the first parameter incorrectly?
public class AlphabetFragment extends Fragment {
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(#NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//MediaPlayer mysong;
//mysong = MediaPlayer.create(AlphabetFragment.this, R.raw.alphabetlist);
//mysong.start();
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_alphabet, container, false);
}
Or am I coding this in the wrong spot, should it be part of the MainActivity.java?
case R.id.nav_alphabet:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container, new AlphabetFragment()).commit();
//mysong = MediaPlayer.create(AlphabetFragment., R.raw.alphabetlistm4a);
//mysong.start();

Answer 1

Use getActivity(). It gives the Media Player the context it needs. Try to use this code:
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create( getActivity() , R.raw.alphabetlist );
Your fragment code should look like this:
MediaPlayer mp;
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mp=MediaPlayer.create(getActivity(), R.raw.alphabetlist);
mp.start():
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_alphabet, container, false);
}
Try this. Hope it helps!

You could just use getActivity to get the context of activity from fragment class.
As below.
public class AlphabetFragment extends Fragment {
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(#NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
MediaPlayer mysong;
mysong = MediaPlayer.create(this.getActivity(), R.raw.alphabetlist);
mysong.start();
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_alphabet, container, false);
}
