title: Using eclipse streaming audio from web url
body: <p>I have tried to find the answer online and none are clear to me. I am starting of programming and dont know much so any assistance that makes sense would help. My brother developed a website I'm trying to stream audio from and found on the developer web page a code to use. eclipse gives me no errors but when I run the app it forces close here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  
    String url = "http://beatswith.us/uploads/Mac%20Miller%20-  %20Paper%20Route%20feat.%20Kev%20Da%20Hustla.mp3"; // your URL here
    MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
  
    try {
      mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  
    try {
      mediaPlayer.prepare();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
    } // might take long! (for buffering, etc)
  
    mediaPlayer.start();
  }
  };
  </code></pre>
