Just a disclaimer, I'm very new to both android and Java.
The end product that I'm going after in this is a soundboard like application. I want to display a list of sounds that the user can tap on to play the associated sound file.
So far I have setup a couple of string-arrays in my strings.xml file. One array represents the sounds available, and the second array represents the actual R.raw.soundfile resources. Might be easier to just show it.
<string-array name="alex_list">
<item>Sound Title</item>
</string-array>
<string-array name="alex_sounds">
<item>R.raw.soundfile</item>
</string-array>
Here is the class definition I have so far. I really don't want anyone to "do the work for me" as it were, but I'm completely lost as to where to progress from here. I feel like I should pass the string-array position from alex_list (when clicked) to get the right resource from alex_sounds (which should play immediately, doesn't need media controls). But that's where I get stuck.
public class AlexList extends ListActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setListAdapter(ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(getApplicationContext(), R.array.alex_list, R.layout.list_item));
getListView().setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
// I have zero clue what to do from here
}
});
}
}
If there is a better way to do any of this, please tell me. The last thing I want to do is develop bad habits at an early stage. I'll continue to work on it and post back if I find a solution.
Thanks in advance for your time!
