title: Receiving Info of a ShoutCast stream on Android
body: <p>I am currently making an app to go with my online radio site, I am coding it with Android 2.2 (API 8) and I have got the Shoutcast Stream working with two buttons.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code on my main class:</p>
  
  <pre><code> public class GrooveOfMusicRadioActivity extends Activity {
        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
  
  
       MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
       Button start, stop;
  
  
  
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.main);
  
          start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
          stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
  
  
  
  
          start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  
              public void onClick(View v) {
                  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                  mediaPlayer.start();
  
              }
          });
          stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  
              public void onClick(View v) {
                  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                  mediaPlayer.pause();
              }
          });
  
  
  
  
  
          String url = "http://67.212.165.106:8161"; // your URL here
          mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
          mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
          mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION);
  
          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();
          }
  
  
  
      }
  
  
  }
