I use the pause() method in SoundPool... implemented since API level 1 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/SoundPool.html#pause(int)
The streamID(int) is obtained when you play the sound: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/SoundPool.html#play(int, float, float, int, int, float) "Returns non-zero streamID if successful, zero if failed" Retain this streamID in your reference the sound, then you can pause it using the pause/resume methods. Personally I create a wrapper object (I call a Sound) which exposes simple methods like play(), pause(), stop() etc and the internals of streamID etc are handled in this class. That way I can swap between using the SoundPool and MediaPlayer but still have the same "Sound" class exposed to the app. On Aug 29, 8:32 am, BryBam <[email protected]> wrote: > Quick note: I'm using the SoundPool class > > http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/SoundPool.html > > What I have here is a simple button that plays a looped sound while > it's pressed.
