type javax.sound.midi.Sequence cannot be resolved

Question

I am trying to use the open-source music programming API JFugue in my android 3.0 application, and am getting this error tag on the line player.play(pattern);:

The type javax.sound.midi.Sequence cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

The quickfix is configure build path, which is not the problem. This line works fine in a java application, but not an android app. How do I work around this in Android? I have the JFugue source, and could modify it to use something else if I had to. Is there anyway to get it to work, or should I use a different API?

Update: I tried adding rt.jar to the build path, since it contains the javax.sound.midi.Sequence type, but it created a GC Overhead limit exceeded error. It tried to build the project, got stuck at 69%, and crashed.

Answer 1

Android does not have javax.sound.midi.* so unfortunately libraries like JFugue don't work.
