Imagebutton Soundboard Android App

I'm just starting out with my first soundboard. Basically this is what I have so far (except I have 40 sounds). Does anyone know a better way to do this? I have to go to an appoint

Solution 1:

With forty buttons you need to arrange for this to happen in a loop.

Although there are even more clever ways to do this, you can start by building a Map:

Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>>();
map.put(R.id.button1, R.raw.sound1);
map.put(R.id.button2, R.raw.sound2);
   ...

and then iterate:

for (Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> entry : map.entrySet()) {
    finalMediaPlayersound= MediaPlayer.create(entry.getValue());
    Buttonbutton= (ImageButton) findViewById(entry.getKey());
    button.setOnClickListener(newView.OnClickListener() {
        @OverridepublicvoidonClick(View v) {
            sound.start();
        }
    });
}

This will give you a taste of a looping solution. You also need to consider how you manage your MediaPlayer instances.
