I would suggest using SoundPool instead. 28 MediaPlayers is a bit much. and regarding the other code, i have posted all what am using and the > only other thing which is not here is the constructor which converts > the given input stream to a file as the MediaPlayer cannot play sounds > directly with a stream. > > (I am packing all the sounds in a single pack and open it at runtime > and give the input stream to Player as it is done in J2ME, so again am > converting the given input stream to a file.) You should pack these sounds as resources in your apk, and then play them by resource id or using an AssetFileDescriptor.

Unless you specifically tell the phone to stay awake (by using a partial wakelock, for example), it may go to sleep, and will stop audio playback while it sleeps. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
