Android stops mediaplayer audio

Question

I have a "click" that is high frequency, but after 20-25 clicks the sound disappear..

 MediaPlayer mp;

                mp = MediaPlayer.create(mService.getApplicationContext(),R.raw.click2);
                mp.start();
            }

ANdroid blocks by Default this kind of loops?

Answer 1

Well I don't see a loop in the code you've provided, but if you actually are creating MediaPlayer s in a loop and not calling release() , then you are going to cause errors by using up too much of the available resources. I have several tips for you.

Tip #1: Don't use mService.getApplicationContext() , since (I assume) mService is a Service and already is a Context ( Service inherits from Context ). You should basically never use getApplicationContext() .

Tip #2: Use one MediaPlayer and pay attention to the state machine . Try something like this:

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
...
while (whateverCondition) { // I don't know what loop construct you are using...
    mp.reset();
    mp.setDataSource(this,
        Uri.parse("android.resource://com.your.package/" + R.raw.click2);
    mp.prepare();
    mp.start();
}
...
mp.release();

You will need to fill in the package name as appropriate, but it should get you on the right track.
