Trying to play only one audio file at a time using mediaPlayer and if/else

Question

I've tried to follow the other questions, but I don't think that they are what I am looking for.

Here's my java: http://pastie.org/private/psy2nnys8i0ajz4i8qfw

I know I am opening multiple instances of mp, so I try to detect if one is playing, and stop it on lines 34-39, but it still overlaps

please advise. I tried singleton's - but that didn't work, I also tried to use one mediaplayer instance and set the datasource, but couldnt figure out how to pass the R.raw.clipname to it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It would be somehow hard to try and debug/trace your code. But I can give you a solution to open a raw resource in your MediaPlayer, which will also make your code more robust and simple :

MediaPlayer player=new MediaPlayer();
player.setDataSource(
    getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.clip1).getFileDescriptor());

Answer 2

USE THIS ONE:

@Override

public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
     switch (event.getAction()) {
     case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP://int end
         pv.stop();
         pv.reset();
         pv=MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this,R.raw.slot);
         Toast.makeText(this,"stop",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
         break;
     case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN://in start
         pv.start();
         Toast.makeText(this,"play",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
         break;
     default:
         break;
     }
     return false;
 }
