The extension provides a robust media player for Android applications, offering functionalities for:
Playback: Play audio from URLs, local files, and project assets.
Control: Pause, stop, resume, and adjust volume during playback.
File Management: Retrieve detailed information about audio files including paths, names, artists, albums, and durations from both device storage and assets.
Metadata Handling: Convert time formats between minutes and seconds and milliseconds, and manage playback positions.
The extension uses the MediaPlayer class from the Android SDK for audio playback.
For the Assets option, you need to create a .txt document with the same name as the song that is in assets with this modified information inside:
Artist: Jet
Album: Jet
Duration: 00:00

I have formatted my memory card and I have verified that the GetAllMusicFiles function effectively captures all the mp3 music on the device, internal and external.
I also changed the name of the .Play function parameter and added usage examples.
This is a full path, not an absolute path. Maybe it's working with that too. I didn't check. But if this works too, it might also work with the PrivateDir. I'll check later...
I've been struggling to get my laptop to work, it only lasts 2 minutes and turns off, I think I'll need another one, anyway...
I haven't been able to review the code, but if I'm not mistaken, the code fails because I didn't set the READ_MEDIA_AUDIO permission to the Manifest when creating the extension.
