Question

I making a soundboard as an exercise for myself. I want to parse the URIs from an XML file and bind them to a single mediaelement. I have eight buttons that I want to trigger different audio files. I only have one page so I can't use NavigationContext.QueryString to pass an attribute id as a querystring to LINQ. How can I change the attribute depending on what button I press?

Here's the code:

Audio Class:

public class AudioClass
{
    string audio;

    public string Audio 
    {
        get { return audio; }
        set { audio = value; }
    }

}

Code:

public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
    string name = "C";

    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();    
    }

    protected override void OnNavigatedTo(System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e)
    {
        XDocument audioPlayer = XDocument.Load("Audio.xml");

        var aani = (from audio in audioPlayer.Descendants("Note")
                    where audio.Attribute("id").Value == name
                    select new AudioClass
                    {
                        Audio = (string)audio.Element("url").Value

                    }).SingleOrDefault();

        player.Source = new Uri(aani.Audio, UriKind.Relative);

        base.OnNavigatedTo(e);
    }

    private void C_Key_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        player.Play();
    }

    private void D_Key_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        player.Play();
    }

And XAML:

<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="41,-8,-17,8">
        <Button x:Name="C_key" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="220" Margin="8,0,0,8" Style="{StaticResource C}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="75" Click="C_Key_Click"/>
        <Button x:Name="D_key" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="220" Margin="87,0,0,8" Style="{StaticResource D}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="75" Click="D_Key_Click"/>
        <Button x:Name="E_key" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="220" Margin="166,0,0,8" Style="{StaticResource E}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="75" Click="E_Key_Click"/>
        <Button x:Name="F_key" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="220" Margin="245,0,0,8" Style="{StaticResource F}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="75" d:LayoutOverrides="Width" Click="F_Key_Click"/>
        <Button x:Name="G_key" Content="" Height="220" Margin="324,0,305,8" Style="{StaticResource G}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Click="G_Key_Click"/>
        <Button x:Name="A_key" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Height="220" Margin="0,0,226,8" Style="{StaticResource A}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="75" Click="A_Key_Click"/>
        <Button x:Name="B_key" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Height="220" Margin="0,0,147,8" Style="{StaticResource B}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="75" Click="B_Key_Click"/>
        <Button x:Name="C2_key" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Height="220" Margin="0,0,68,8" Style="{StaticResource C2}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="75" Click="C2_Key_Click"/>
        <MediaElement Height="120" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="8,6,0,0" Name="player" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="160" Source="{Binding Audio}" Volume="1" AutoPlay="False"/>
        </Grid>
Was it helpful?

Solution

  1. Extract SetPlayerSource() from OnNavigatedTo().
  2. Use SetPlayerSource() in generic button click event handler.

    protected override void OnNavigatedTo(System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e)
    {
        SetPlayerSource();
    
        base.OnNavigatedTo(e);
    }
    
    private void SetPlayerSource()
    {
        XDocument audioPlayer = XDocument.Load("Audio.xml");
    
        var aani = (from audio in audioPlayer.Descendants("Note")
                    where audio.Attribute("id").Value == name
                    select new AudioClass
                    {
                        Audio = (string)audio.Element("url").Value
    
                    }).SingleOrDefault();
    
        player.Source = new Uri(aani.Audio, UriKind.Relative);
    }
    
    private void ButtonKey_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var buttonName = (sender as Button).Name;
        var underscorePos = buttonName.IndexOf('_');
        name = buttonName.Substring(0, underscorePos);
        SetPlayerSource();
        player.Play();
    }
