open fun play(
    context: Context, 
    uri: Uri, 
    looping: Boolean, 
    attributes: AudioAttributes

Parameters
context Context: the non-null application's context.
uri Uri: the non-null URI to play. (see MediaPlayer.setDataSource(Context, Uri))
looping Boolean: whether the audio should loop forever. (see MediaPlayer.setLooping(boolean))
