Soundpool plays only first 5 secs of file. Why?

Question

I use Soundpool in my app, so far it works good, but I do have a wav file which is 10 secs. Unfortunately, soundpool plays only the first 5 secs. How to make soundpool to pl

Answer 1

SoundPool designed to play short sound effects. To play music (big audio files) you need to use MediaPlayer

// R.raw.audio_file - res/raw/audio_file.mp3

mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_file);
mediaPlayer.start();
