Playing audio sound using SoundPool in Android : best suit for click effects

If you want to listen sound for a button click corresponding to as many times the user
clicks, specifically when the user clicks/taps continuosly with very short span, then follow below steps :-)

Implement SoundPool and AudioManager classes instead of traditional MediaPlayer. Sample is below:

import android.content.Context;

import android.media.AudioManager;

import android.media.SoundPool;

public class MusicPlayer {

            public static SoundPool soundPoolObj;

            private static int soundPoolObjectID;

            public static AudioManager audioManager;

            private static boolean resourceReleased;

                  /*

                  * I know you are good enough to catch this, still....,

                  *This is the constructor which would be called

*preferably during starting of your app, I mean, before you start any associated music.

                  *

*Note that, You have to pass context and resource id for music to be played.

                  *

* You may use streaming as well, Since I have not tried any, I am not posting about it:-)

                  */

                  public MusicPlayer(Context context,int musicResourceID)

                  {

                        resourceReleased=false;

soundPoolObj=new SoundPool(1/*maximum number of simultaneous streams */,

AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,0);                              

audioManager=(AudioManager)context.getSystemService( Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);            

soundPoolObjectID=soundPoolObj.load(context, musicResourceID, 1/*priority*/);

                  }

                  /*

                   * Invoke this method to play the corresponding music..

* make sure you have instantiated this class with proper parameters

                   *

                   */

                  public static void playMusic()

                  {

                        if((!resourceReleased))

                        {

/*Make sure sound duration is small for click effect..*/

int streamVolume = audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

                              soundPoolObj.play(soundPoolObjectID/*soundID*/,

streamVolume/*leftVolume*/, streamVolume/*rightVolume*/,

1, 0/*loop: '0' for no looping and '-1' for looping forever*/, 1f);

                             

                              /*

                              *if you wanna pause a long background music,

                              *try: soundPoolObj.pause(soundPoolObjectID);

* and soundPoolObj.resume(soundPoolObjectID); for resuming

                              */

                        }    

                       

                  }

                  /*

                  *Called when you are quitting/ no longer need   music

                  */

                  public static void stopMusic()

                  {          

                        //Finally..

                        soundPoolObj.stop(soundPoolObjectID);

                        //Release  the associated resource

                        MusicPlayer.soundPoolObj.release();

                        resourceReleased=true;

                  }

}

This is an utility class and needs support from a class which implements Activity.

Happy coding :-)
