  Hi @ispirLee25 ,

  Form official document, the create method:

  Convenience method to create a MediaPlayer for a given Uri. On success, prepare() will already have been called and must not be called again.

  The prepare() method will called automatically, so you can't call prepareAsync.

  So, you can read this, use MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); and SetDataSource, and then you can use prepareAsync. If you use prepareAsync you need use setOnPreparedListener method to listener to the onPrepared event.

  Please refer to this case.

  Hi Guys!

              var mediaUri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(mediaUrl);
              mp = MediaPlayer.Create(this, mediaUri);
  

  This code block is slow running.I want to this block convert to async method? How can i it?

  Another option in addition to the one supplied by robbit is to create your own async method

  public async Task<MediaPlayer> PrepareMedia(Android.Net.Uri mediaUri)
      {
          MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = null;
          await Task.Run(() =>
          {
              mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.Create(this, mediaUri);
          });
          return mediaPlayer;
      }
  

  then call it:

  var mediaUri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(mediaUrl);
  mp = await PrepareMedia(mediaUri);
  

  you will have to add the async keyword to the method that the above two lines of code are in so you can use await.
