Play an audio file and return back to the page

Question

in my iPhone app, I have an UIWebView with some simple HTML links to audio files. When the user opens such an audio file, media player plays it an leaves my UIWebView with this screen:

How do I dismiss it after the audio file was played? I've searched for UIWebView's delegates without finding something useful.

Answer 1

Mike, I've found a solution: Create a HTML page and embed your audio file the follwing way:

<embed src=”http://www.mypage.com/test.wav”>

This gives you an embedded mini player.

Answer 2

No, you can't dismiss that properly, or at least I couldn't figure out how to do it. So I just used the movie player for all my audio and video. It's a little more complex but it is much more flexible.
