Soundpool sample not ready

Question

I have a .wav file that I\'d like to use across my game, currently I am loading the sound in onCreate() of each activity in the game.

 soundCoun         


        

Answer 1

you should use setOnLoadCompleteListener if possible ... if not, wrap a while loop around your call to 'play'. something like:

int waitLimit = 1000;
int waitCounter = 0;
int throttle = 10;
while(soundPool.play(soundId, 1.f, 1.f, 1, 0, 1.f) == 0 && waitCounter < waitLimit)
 {waitCounter++; SystemClock.sleep(throttle);}

this will retry 'play' 1000 times on a 10ms interval. this should be run on a non-ui thread of course, and is still not ideal. but maybe a little stronger than waiting an arbitrary time and expecting the pool to be ready.
