I am looking for a solution to play sounds multiple times in an application. In the application, as soon as a user performs operation A, the application shall respond with a *bing* sound. Performing operation B shall produce a *bong*. That means during the application life cycle, both sounds will potentially be played several dozen times. I have tried three different ways to achieve this. None of them seems to work:
For all options, I have added 2 wav files, one for *bing* and one for *bong* in the application's Resource Package. Option 1: ======= For both wav files, I am opening a MediaPlayer via e.g. bingSound=MediaPlayer.create(context, resid). In the application, whenever a sound shall be played, I call bingSound.start(). Result: This works fine the first time. If I call bingSound.start() a second time no sound plays, and I get an exception that I called start() on a MediaPlayer instance in the wrong state. Option 2: ======= Whenever the application shall play a sound, I create a new MediaPlayer from scratch via e.g. bingSound=MediaPlayer.create(context, resid); bingSound.start() Result: This works fine a number of times, until appearantly the maximum number of MediaPlayers is reached, and the application simply halts. Option 3: ======= I create a new MediaPlayer via MediaPlayer.create(context, resid). I set looping to true. When the application shall play the sound, I call bingSound.start(). When the sound shall stop, I call bingSound.seekTo(0), followed by bingSound.pause(). Result: This works fine for looping sounds. For the classical *bing* sound that shall only be played once and does not loop, it is next to impossible to time the calls in a way that the sound is only played once. Question ======= Is there any possible approach to play the same, non looping sound several dozen times in an application? Thanks for any help!
