I am trying to play an mp3 file (with an onClickListener) and stop after 2 seconds. I tried the code below but it is not working. Could anyone please help?
final MediaPlayer mpsound = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.media_player_sound);
ImageView sound = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.button);
sound.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
mpsound.start();{
sleep(2000);
mpsound.stop();
}
}
});
Why are you calling stop() on mpfrog if you are playing audio with mpsound? You need to call the stop() function on the mpsound MediaPlayer. Also, you might want to add the @Override annotation to your onClick() method.
for the override...
sound.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mpsound.start();{
sleep(2000);
mpsound.stop();
}
}
});
for a timer.....
Handler handler = new Handler(){
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg){
mpsound.stop();
}
};
//Task for timer to execute when time expires
class SleepTask extends TimerTask {
@Override
public void run(){
handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
}
//then in some other function...
Timer timer = new Timer("timer",true);
timer.schedule(new SleepTask(),2000);
You have to wait 2 seconds in different thread, for this case use your own created thread and wait there and stop player, or you can use CountDownTimer - very simple solution.

In eclipse you can use autocomplete (ctrl + space by default) to fill automatically all inmplemented methods and @Overrides will already be there.
