What means: MediaPlayer - This is not a sprint project

Question

While working with the MediaPlayer I recognized this log message and wondered about its meaning. Does anyone have an idea? The player works fine but this message seems strange.

02-21 18:25:44.157: I/MediaPlayer(21538): This is not a sprint project

Answer 1

I feel that this print is coming from a phone caller application or a Youtube kind of application. I think this print has been put to identify that the network provider is not Sprint. There is a very similar log for HTC One as in this post. It looks like a customized version of the MediaPlayer to print the statistics of the connection setup.

Answer 2

Probably you forgot to include permissions for internet in your manifest xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"

I am also trying to create a MediaPlayer app. And because I was missing the internet permission I got exactly the same message / error.

Answer 3

My guess is that it is an internal error that got out.
