help with adding sound to application

[haaris_86]

hi,
i am very new to developing mobile applications.
The probm that i am having with sound s that once i add sound using the Player interface. After adding the player other events that are suppose to take place with the keys are not working. Please give examples on how to use a player without other event handling being disturbed.

Thanks and regards,

thanks for the response..

i am trying to build an application usinc MVC in MIDP 2.0. I am using Canvas class for the display. Its an interactive application using the keypads. The application is working perfect without sound. I am supposed to add audio to the application. i tried doing it using the Player interface. The audio is playing bt the other event handling things of the application hav stopped working. Also the audio does'nt stop till the entire clip gets over.

the audio is a trial song in .wav form.
have also tried the .au format.

reply soon,
thanks in advance..

Hello,

I suspect that,you are starting/playing the sound file in the recursive loop,on a thread.is it so?
Again kindly let us know the file size that you are trying to play.

For your reference, I am sharing with you one code segment, please make sure that you have start the player once.

public void startPlayer(){
try 
  { 
    InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("file.wav"); 
    Player p = Manager.createPlayer(is, "audio/X-wav"); 
    p.start(); 
  }
  catch (IOException ioe) { } 
  catch (MediaException me) { } 
}

please check this code,call this method just once,can check this by putting the sop's in this method.

Players should be used in seperate thread, to avoid these type of command dead lock in the main command thread of the application.

Look at the WKT examples of playing MMAPI.
