Converting sound from NOKIA API to standard API

[vagrantcharly]

Hello~!

I'm trying to convert a set of sounds which use the NOKIA API, to play them using standard MIDP 2.0 API methods, but I'm having a little trouble with the format...

It seems that the sound is tone-based, and is played through the Sound class...

//Sound( byte []  data, int type );
Sound sound = new Sound( soundBuffer, Sound.FORMAT_TONE );
//of course, soundBuffer is a byte array containing the sound data

I wish to convert it using the following methods:

Player p = Manager.createPlayer( Manager.TONE_DEVICE_LOCATOR );
p.realize();

ToneControl t = ( ToneControl )p.getControl( "ToneControl" );
t.setSequence( soundBuffer );//not good! Sound format is incorrect?

p.start();//hangs right after calling this method...

My only problem is that I don't know the format in which the sound data (which is already provided to me) is stored in the byte array, thus, I can't reformat it to fit an appropriate sequence for toneControl...

If anyone could point out to me the format in which the NOKIA Sound class expects the data in the byte array, that would be a huge help!

Thanks for the link, even though I understand absolutely nothing... :P

I'll go give it another read; in the meantime, if someone happens to have a version for dummies lying around somewhere, I'd greatly appreciate it -- with cookies, or something... Maybe...

Seriously though, thanks!

EDIT:

OH-kay... I read some more, and apparently, all the data is squished into one continuous stream of bits!! I assume I'm gonna have to split the data according to the encoding values found in the array?!?

I thought this would be easier...?

Oh, boy... I hope I misunderstood that... =(

Can you use;

Is .nokia the format you want?

I'm not entirely sure, I have this source code I need to convert, and only the sound is left... The (sound) resources are being loaded from a certain file, but I don't know exactly which format they're in, and I don't have any proper documentation on the source...

If it sheds some light, here's the byte data for one of the sounds, I think it's compliant with the format specified in the first link you posted:

--- Data for Sound 0 ---
--- Total bytes: 25 ---
