Just tried it and the sounds are showing up in the music player. So much for that idea. Anyone else have experience with this?
I guess I can try changing the extension since I pass it the Uri, and hopefully MediaPlayer and SoundPool don't choke. I just have quite a few files and would hate to have to check them and rename them from within the app or have the users re-download the new data. Suggestions welcomed. ~clark On Apr 27, 4:51 pm, Marco Nelissen <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 4:36 PM, clark <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I'm torn between which group to post this too, but since it is for an > > application I am working on, I guess I'll stick it here. > > > So here we go.
