That did the trick, thank you.

I've seen similar issues when trying to read other file types from the
resources folder in an Android standalone. Try copying the file to
specialFolderPath("documents") and play it from there. It's likely a
permissions problem that I wish didn't exist.

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has insight into the usage of
"androidStartAudioPlayingInBackground()", or can confirm that it works?
I setup a test stack that attempts to play a public domain MP3 using
the following script but nothing plays. I receive nothing from the
function, and I'm getting the following in logcat: LiveCode: JNI
exception thrown when calling native method
on mouseUp
local tFile
put specialFolderPath("engine") & "/" & "spring_song.mp3" into tFile
if there is not a file tFile then
answer "File not found:" && tFile
end if
put androidStartAudioPlayingInBackground(tFile) into card field
"result"
-- logcat: LiveCode: JNI exception thrown when calling native method
end mouseUp
I've tested this build using Community 9.6.2 (rc3) and 9.0.5, on an
Android 9.0 Virtual Device and a Android 9.0 phone. Same result
across the board, nothing plays.
I did test and confirm the ability to play the audio file with
"mobilePlaySoundOnChannel", but I need background playback for my
project to work. Also, I searched the LiveCode Quality Control site
for existing bugs (no results) and searched the forum a bit.
Does anyone have any ideas? Here is my test stack if you're willing
to give it a shot on your end:

Thank you in advance,
