How to use android mediaplayer on motionevent

Question

I am trying to set a sound for a touch for my game but there's an error on the line final MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.move); any suggestions? Thx

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    int x_aux = (int) (event.getX() / (this.getWidth() / x));
    int y_aux = (int) (event.getY() / (this.getHeight() / y));
    drawimage(x_aux, y_aux);
    final MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.move);
    setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){

        public void onClick(View v) {
            mp.start();
        }
    });
    return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}

The create(...) method of MediaPlayer requires a Context as the first parameter. The problem is likely to be your Game class is a View (which doesn't extend Context) so using this for the first parameter won't work.

You could try holding a reference to the Context which is passed into the constructor. Under the private field private Paint caneta; add one for the Context. Example...

public class Game extends View {

    private Cell[][] singlesquare = null;
    int x = 3;
    int y = 3;
    private int l;
    private int a;
    private boolean whatdrawn = false;
    private int playerwin = 3;
    private Paint caneta;
    private Context context; // ADD THIS LINE

Then in the constructor save a reference to the Context passed in. Example...

public Game(Context context) {
    super(context);
    this.context = context; // ADD THIS LINE

Then when you create the Mediaplayer use...

final MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.move);
