I have a firebase database with a tree that looks like this
tvthemetunes
airwolf value "url to air wolftheme"
eastenders value "url to eastenders"
knight rider value "url to nightrider"
and so on...
in my app users download items and while items download a tv theme will play from the url. i can get it to work ok when value event for a single item. i want it to pick a value at random from the list. how can achieve this?
Edit can use recycle view method as my app does not contain any
this is my code for single item
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case progress_bar_type:
//Here is where i play the theme
getthemetune();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(c);
pDialog.setTitle(MY Title);
pDialog.setMessage(MY Message);
pDialog.setIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setMax(100);
pDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
pDialog.setCancelable(false);
pDialog.show();
return pDialog;
default:
return null;
}
}
private void getthemetune(){
mthemetuneref = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
DatabaseReference ref = mthemetuneref.getReference().child(MYREF);
ref.child("airwolf").addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
//Edit to add Alex's answer?
long childrenCount = datasnapshot.getChildrenCount();
int count = (int) childrenCount;
//Dont know how to use this
int randomNumber = new Random().nextInt(count);
plysound();
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
}
private void plysound(){
mp = new MediaPlayer();
String j =
tvThemeTune.toString();
Log.i("Url",j);
try {
mp.setDataSource(j);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
mp.prepare();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mp.start();
Log.i("Sound playing", "Ok");
mp.setLooping(true);
}
