Using SoundPlayer to play music.

[PerhapsS44]

Hello! I wanted to make our robot sing a specific song...and I searched for a method to do that. I found that there is a sound player built into the FTC SDK, named SoundPlayer. When I try to use it, it plays the song (song.mp3), but for a couple of seconds. What are the supported types of files (mp3, wav etc)? Can you help me find a solution? Thanks!

Two years ago, we did a similar thing to play "And his name is John Cena!" while a button was held down. We had a cena.mp3 file in the res/raw folder. The gist of the code was this:

 
 import android.media.MediaPlayer; public class CenaPlayer { 	//The player handling the audio 	private static MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = null;  	//Start the wubs 	public static void start(Context context) { 		if (mediaPlayer == null) mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.cena); 		mediaPlayer.seekTo(0); 		mediaPlayer.start(); 	} 	//Stop the wubs 	public static void stop() { 		if (mediaPlayer != null) { 			mediaPlayer.stop(); 			try { mediaPlayer.prepare(); } 			catch (IOException e) {} 		} 	} }  public class SoundOpMode extends OpMode {   private boolean pressedLast;    public void init() {     this.pressedLast = false;   }   public void loop() {     if (this.gamepad1.a && !this.pressedLast) {       CenaPlayer.start(this.hardwareMap.appContext);       this.pressedLast = true;     }     else if (!this.gamepad1.a && this.pressedLast) {       CenaPlayer.stop();       this.pressedLast = false;     }   }   public void stop() {     CenaPlayer.stop();   } }

Sorry about the weird formatting. Here it is again.

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
public class CenaPlayer {
  //The player handling the audio
  private static MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = null;
  //Start the wubs
  public static void start(Context context) {
    if (mediaPlayer == null) mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.cena);
    mediaPlayer.seekTo(0);
    mediaPlayer.start();
  }
  //Stop the wubs
  public static void stop() {
    if (mediaPlayer != null) {
      mediaPlayer.stop();
      try { mediaPlayer.prepare(); }
      catch (IOException e) {}
    }
  }
}
public class SoundOpMode extends OpMode {
  private boolean pressedLast;
  public void init() {
    this.pressedLast = false;
  }
  public void loop() {
    if (this.gamepad1.a && !this.pressedLast) {
      CenaPlayer.start(this.hardwareMap.appContext);
      this.pressedLast = true;
    }
    else if (!this.gamepad1.a && this.pressedLast) {
      CenaPlayer.stop();
      this.pressedLast = false;
    }
  }
  public void stop() {
    CenaPlayer.stop();
  }
}

Thanks! I will try this.
