how can I wait for a java sound clip to finish playing back?

Question

I am using the following code to play a sound file using the java sound API.

    Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
    AudioInputStream inputStream = AudioS         


        

Answer 1

As of JDK8, Clip's listener is kind of buggy (i.e. it can happen that it fires the Type.STOP twice for a single reproduction of the audio (.start()).

I would therefore use something like:

Clip[] myBunchOfClipsToPlaySequentially=new Clip[A_BUNCH];
//
// [load actual clips...]
// [...]
//
for(Clip c: myBunchOfClipsToPlaySequentially)
    while(c.getFramePosition()

In addition, you could take a look to the new AudioClip class that JFX8 provides (has some nifty methods to fiddle with)
