Problem solved. Here's how I did it:
This only loads one sound but you can load as many as you want. I have
an mp3 in my res/raw directory called explosion.mp3.
Java:
public static final int SOUND_EXPLOSION = 1;
public static final int SOUND_YOU_WIN = 2;
public static final int SOUND_YOU_LOSE = 3;
private SoundPool soundPool;
private HashMap<Integer, Integer> soundPoolMap;
private void initSounds() {
soundPool = new SoundPool(4, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
100);
soundPoolMap = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
soundPoolMap.put(SOUND_EXPLOSION,
soundPool.load(getContext(), R.raw.explosion, 1));
}
public void playSound(int sound) {
AudioManager mgr = (AudioManager)
getContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
int streamVolume =
mgr.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
soundPool.play(soundPoolMap.get(sound), streamVolume,
streamVolume, 1, 0, 1f);
}
public void update() {
if (isExploding()) {
playSound(SOUND_EXPLOSION);
}
}
