How to play selected Media Item from UITableView in iOS?

Question

I am trying to play Media Item that selected from UITableView in iOS.

I am using MediaQuery and i loaded songs list from iPod Library in my UITableView.

But i don't know how to play that selected songs from UITableView.

I know really basic simple AudioPlayer with following code.

NSString *soundFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"sample" 
                                                              ofType: @"mp3"];
    NSURL *fileURL = [[[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath: soundFilePath] autorelease];
    self.player = [[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:fileURL error: nil] 
                   autorelease];

That is used of ContentOfURL that already located in resource.There is no need to retrieve songs from iPod Library.

Here is my CellForRowAtIndexPath Method Codes

MPMediaItemCollection *songs = [self.arrayOfSongs objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    cell.textLabel.text = [songs.items[0] valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyTitle];

Now i am trying to play that retrieved songs from iPod Library with MediaQuery and that selected from UITableView

So How can i retrieve the URL and play the song from iPod Library that selected from UITableView? Thanks for your reading.

You need to implement your didSelectRowAtIndexPath like the following code:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
   MPMediaItemCollection *songs = [self.arrayOfSongs objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
   MPMediaItem *item = [songs representativeItem];
   self.player = [[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[item valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL] error: nil] 
                   autorelease];

}
