How do I know the length of a sound song before streaming?

Question

I am making an application for the song Stream audio. In the user media player, I have to show the total duration of this audio file. If the sound song is SDCard, I can find out its duration using

MediaPlayer player;

public double duration() {
        return player.getDuration();
    }

But in my case, the audio file is on the server, so I need to transfer it.

What is the best approach?

It may help you: An example of streaming mp3 with the Android media player class . Corresponding data is probably available as soon as prepare () is called for the stream stream.

 mp.start();
 totalDur=mp.getDuration();//will give you the duration in milliseconds.

using the code below you can get the duration without using any library

player = new MediaPlayer();
player.setDataSource(YOUR_URL);
player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
player.prepareAsync();

        player.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
                seekBar.setMax(mediaPlayer.getDuration());
                player.start();
            }
        });
