Implement sounds in an android application

Question

I am developing a game application in android. I have designed all the views and implemented all the functionality. Now in the last screen I have to play sounds in android.

Answer 1

I would suggest SoundPool for seamless playback in android because mediaPlayer first loads the whole sound data in memory than play, so it produces some lag when we switch among sounds frequently.

SoundPool is a better option with small size sound file, and produces best result with .ogg media file.

SoundPool soundPool = new SoundPool(5, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
soundPool.setOnLoadCompleteListener(new OnLoadCompleteListener() {
  @Override
  public void onLoadComplete(SoundPool soundPool, int sampleId,
      int status) {
    loaded = true;
  }
});
soundID = soundPool.load(this, R.raw.sound, 1);
if (loaded) {
    soundPool.play(soundID, volume, volume, 1, 0, 1f);
  }
