Thanks for the reply Steve.

I have the following in my MainActivity.java:

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.mysound);
mediaPlayer.start();

But Studio doesn't like context for some reason (cannot resolve symbol).  I do 
have 
import android.media.MediaPlayer;

I suggest that you do a web search for "android life cycle".  The
information you find there will not only answer your question but provide
you with some basic knowledge that any android developer must know!

[android-developers] newbie needs help - play a sound when app opens

2016-11-30 Thread chicago chuck 
Hello,

I'm a newbie with Android Studio.

I've created a very basic app with various TextViews and ImageViews. I want 
to take the next step and have my app play a sound when it opens.

I've googled around and found a lot of info about playing a sound when a 
button is clicked, but I didn't want to start getting into buttons yet. I 
just want it to play my mp3 when it first opens.

I figured out how to create the raw folder and paste my mp3 file into it.

Is there a way to play a sound when my app first opens?

Note that this is my first attempt at doing anything with 
MainActivity.java, so if you have a code example, please let me know where 
it goes.

thanks!
