How

Answer 1

You may want to use SoundPool

SoundPool soundPool = new SoundPool(1, AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, 0);
int shutterSound = soundPool.load(this, R.raw.camera_click, 0);

and then to play the sound

soundPool.play(shutterSound, 1f, 1f, 0, 0, 1);

Check out http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/SoundPool.html to understand the parameters.

You will need a media file called camera_click.ogg in your project at res/raw. You should be able to use the Android default sound which can be obtained from the Android open source project in the following location ( frameworks/base/data/sounds/effects/camera_click.ogg ) if your project is licensed under the Apache license. If your project isn't licensed under the Apache license I have no idea if you can use it or not. I am not a lawyer.
