Hi all,
I'm trying to implement a function that will play an mp3 and a wav file
I've placed 2 files in the public folder of my application:
1. Bluesy_guitar.mp3
2. Space.wav
Here is the code I have implemented in my alert_controller.rb file
def play_file1 @title = "play_file1" Alert.play_file "Bluesy_guitar.mp3" render :action => :index end def play_file2 @title = "play_file2" Alert.play_file "Space.wav" render :action => :index end
Everytime I try running these methods, I keep getting this error in the log.txt file
RhoFileApi| Opening file from file system: /data/data/com.rhomobile.pimalerts/rhodata/apps/Bluesy_guitar.mp3RhoFileApi| Can not open file descriptor: /data/data/com.rhomobile.pimalerts/rhodata/apps/Bluesy_guitar.mp3: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)Alert| Call of "playFile" failed: null
Not sure what's going wrong here.
I've tried putting
Alert.play_file "/public/Bluesy_guitar.mp3"
I've tried putting the entire path from the root to the file, but nothing's working.
I'm not sure where this path name came from either : /data/data/com.rhomobile.pimalerts/rhodata/apps/
I'd appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks,
Ariana

Hi all,
Have got the alerts working, however I did run into a few issues:
1. Sound never played through the RhoSimulator
2. '/public/alerts/sound.mp3' path did not work (use Rho.RhoFile.join(Rho.RhoFile.join(Rho.Application.publicFolder, 'assets'), 'sound.mp3)))
The code to get the sound to play (in javascript):
function playSuccessAlert(){
Rho.Notification.playFile(Rho.RhoFile.join(getAlertsLocation(), 'sound_success_alert.mp3'));
}
function getAlertsLocation(){
return (Rho.RhoFile.join(Rho.Application.publicFolder, 'alerts'));
}
Hopefully this will help someone out in the future.
http://docs.rhomobile.com/rhodes/device-caps#file-system-access
use get_public_folder()
File.join(Rho::RhoApplication::get_public_folder(), 'Bluesy_guitar.mp3')
So what I did was replace
Alert.play_file "/public/Bluesy_guitar.mp3"
with
Alert.play_file File.join(Rho::RhoApplication::get_public_folder(), 'Bluesy_guitar.mp3')
And it's still giving me the same error:
Can not open file descriptor: /data/data/com.rhomobile.pimalerts/rhodata/apps/data/data/com.rhomobile.pimalerts/rhodata/apps/public/Bluesy_guitar.mp3: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
