Play sound on button click android

Question

How do I get a button to play a sound from raw when click? I just created a button with id button1, but whatever code I write, all is wrong.

Answer 1

The best way to do this is here i found after searching for one issue after other in the LogCat

MediaPlayer mp;
mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound_one);
mp.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
    @Override
    public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        mp.reset();
        mp.release();
        mp=null;
    }
});
mp.start();

Not releasing the Media player gives you this error in LogCat:

Android: MediaPlayer finalized without being released

Not resetting the Media player gives you this error in LogCat:

Android: mediaplayer went away with unhandled events

So play safe and simple code to use media player.

To play more than one sounds in same Activity/Fragment simply change the resID while creating new Media player like

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

and play it !

Have fun!
