Are you playing with sounds in your app?

Here is the playground for u.....




If you developing an app and struggling with managing sounds here is the solution;

SoundPoolDemo
Some code snippet :

public class LauncherActivity extends Activity implements OnTouchListener {
private SoundPool soundPool;
final static int MAX_STREAMS = 5;
private boolean isLoaded = false;
private int soundOneID;
private int soundTwoID;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_launcher);
((RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.bg)).setOnTouchListener(this);
// Set the hardware buttons to control the music
this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
// Load the sound
soundPool = new SoundPool(MAX_STREAMS, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
soundPool.setOnLoadCompleteListener(new OnLoadCompleteListener() {

@Override
public void onLoadComplete(SoundPool soundPool, int sampleId,
int status) {
Log.d("TESTING", "sampleId :" + sampleId + " status :" + status);
isLoaded = true;
}

});

soundOneID = soundPool.load(this, R.raw.shoot_1, 1);
soundTwoID = soundPool.load(this, R.raw.shoot_2, 1);

Log.d("TESTING", "soundOneID :" + soundOneID);
Log.d("TESTING", "soundTwoID :" + soundTwoID);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.launcher, menu);
return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
float actualVolume = (float) audioManager
.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
float maxVolume = (float) audioManager
.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
float volume = actualVolume / maxVolume;
Log.d("TESTING", actualVolume + ":  actualVolume");
Log.d("TESTING", maxVolume + ":  maxVolume");
Log.d("TESTING", volume + ": volume");
if (isLoaded) {
soundPool.play(soundOneID, volume, volume, 1, 0, 1f);
}
}
return false;
}

@Override
protected void onStop() {
if (soundPool != null) {
// To release all the resources of soundPool
soundPool.release();
}
super.onStop();
}
}
