[android-developers] Re: Using MediaPlayer - multiple sound files
Yes this is exactly my problem... SoundPool either cuts off the sample after about 5 seconds, or complains that it's too big. I'll try your suggestion, though I can't have delays so I may have to stick with lots of MP objects. Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Using MediaPlayer - multiple sound files
Another way is to use single MediaPlayer and call reset(), setDataSource(), prepare() and start(). There could be some delays though, at least for the first time. BTW the last time I tried SoundPool it was impossible to have more than 1 MB of sounds. SoundPool uses uncompressed audio and I didn't find a way to control bitrate and other stuff. I wanted five 17-18 sec samples and that was impossible with SoundPool. On 11 мар, 02:50, Neilz wrote: > Anyone?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Using MediaPlayer - multiple sound files
You can prepare Mediaplayer asynchronously and store them in a collection. after that call MediaPlayer.start() wherever needed.

With respect to MediaPlayer, it's possible that having a whole bunch of MediaPlayer objects will be OK, but I am very skeptical. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 2.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
