Learn Android Tutorial 1.9- Adding Sound with MediaPlayer

[TiyDima]

how is your design called o.o

[febvigrail]

These videos have been ridiculously helpful. Thanks for taking the time to put them together!

For those of you who are getting crashed make sure you remove "MediaPlayer" from this line

MediaPlayer logoMusic = MediaPlayer.create(myMain.this­, R.raw.logosound);

That's line 17 on my screen. We ended up stating logoMusic is a mediaplayer near the top making it global.

Can you explain how onResume() works with MediaPlayer? What am I supposed to put inside the function so that when I resume from a different activity, the music plays again?

[SerLeBat]

Greetings Master! I'm stuck with this 'force closing' error after adding the onPause(). Without it, everything is OK! Thanx !!!

[talhah321]

my app keeps force colising hellllllop

[talhah321]

when i type main it comes up with error in java activity help plz

[jacobbubble2]

I did what you did and it works and it runs perfectly. Except when I run it on the emulator, I get no sound. After checking my code I was skeptical and ran the application on my android phone. The sound played but it still would not play on the computer.

Yes I have speakers and I can play the sound file individually on the computer but it will not play in the emulator. What's going on here?

kindly explain anyone.. i am assuming that onCreate() is executing when app will start ... but when protected onPause() will execute itself..?

i have seen traviz didnt call onPause() .. but app is running fine..

anyone?

[mybringback]

@letccc whats up man, onPause() gets called anytime that specific activity goes to the background (android handles this for us) So if you have two activities act1 and act2. if act1 opens up act2, act1 will call the onPause method after act2 is present.  Also anytime someone gets a phonecall, hits the back button, or the home button on their phone the onPause method gets called as well.

Hey! My app crashes after the Splash screen. It started doing this after I added sound :(

[mybringback]

@DiMAGiNEfilms still having problems with this? let me know

[SuperLPGaming]

@mybringback well I have the same problem as @DiMAGiNEfilms. Maybe I have to big file? Its 2 mb. Format:mp4. (maybe the soong needs to be 5 sec long to not crash? And, is there a way to keep the music going to the next screen/on every screen I go in to + if i wana go back one screen aaand repeat from the beginning when song ends? Great vids keep em up^^

OS X has built in conversion... if you right click on the file and select Get Info, you can change the extension there and it should automatically convert the file

Nice Tutorial As Well!

[AHXAL]

[dar1e]

Ur GREAT!

[SkinnyMetalDude]

Everything seems to be the same on my code as yours, but I keep getting the message "raw cannot be resolved or is not a field"

Any ideas what might be wrong?

[SkinnyMetalDude]

Nevermind this post. I went to Project -> Clean... and this helped whatever may have gone wrong. Great tutorials! I hope you keep adding more!

try this..

[youngday713]

ok, I figured it out I had the logoMusic below the Thread, my new question is after the 5 seconds pass it comes up with a message saying it has to close unexpectedly

i was wondering what could cause this.

[youngday713]

my logoMusic.start(); well the start is underlined and everything is just like what you have set up, what could be wrong?
