Issue with Notification.playFile on android

Hi,

We are having an issue with playing a media file in Rhomobile 4.0 using the notification API call. The wav file exist in our project in a folder called /public/alerts, during the build process it's copied to bin folder and added to the apk.

This is our API call:
Rho::Notification.playFile('/public/alerts/Notify.wav',".wav")

In the rholog from the client we are getting the following:
RhoFileApi| Can not open file descriptor: /public/alerts/Notify.wav: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
NotificationSingleton| null
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
  at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(Native Method)
  at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(MediaPlayer.java:1186)
  at com.motorolasolutions.rho.notification.NotificationSingleton.playFile(NotificationSingleton.java:126)
  at com.rho.notification.NotificationSingletonBase$playFileTask.run(NotificationSingletonBase.java:93)
  at com.rhomobile.rhodes.api.MethodExecutor.run(MethodExecutor.java:11)
  at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method)

Any ideas why this would not be working?

Hi,
Even though I use the below method, I am getting the below error in android. I am suing 5.0.38 Rhodes.
Code:
      playfile = "iphonenotification.mp3"
      filepath = Rho::RhoFile.join(Rho::RhoApplication.publicFolder, "alerts/#{playfile}")
      if Rho::RhoFile.exists(filepath)
        Rho::Notification.playFile(filepath)
      end
Error:

I tried to access the directly in adb shell in root. But, after rhodata/apps, I do not see any other directory except rhoconfig.txt file.

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Can you try below code,
Rho::Notification.playFile(Rho::RhoFile.join(Rho::Application.publicFolder, 'alerts/Notify.wav'), '.wav')
I think problem with the path you have passed.
