[moviemastersdk]

i have a button setup to play a sound, *tittle ****release*
but nothing plays until i release the button again
here's my code

bKick.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	sp.play(dance_kick, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1);
}

});

Try overriding the onTouch callback in your Activity subclass.

onClick only registers when a control is clicked (pressed and released). with onTouch, you can specifiy if you want to catch the down event or the up event.

allright, iv'e got the ontouch working, but it keeps playing the sound like a trillion times, until i release it, i really only want it to play once on press

use a flag to make sure that the sound isn't already playing.

isn't there a method that looks for the button press instead of release ?
i'm kinda confused by this ontouch flag thing,
or maybe if you could explain in a little more detail

public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent e)
{
    if(v == whateverYourButtonIsCalled && e.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
    {
       /****PSUEDO CODE****/
        //Construct your meia player
        if(!sound.isPlaying())
            //play sound
       /*****END PSUEDO CODE***/
    }  
}

As noted, everything within the first condition is psuedo code, however I do know that the isPlaying() method exists for the MediaPlayer class, so I recommend using that. No flag is really necessary thanks to this method.

thanks man, got the thing working using the motion event'

bKick.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

	public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
		if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
			sp.play(dance_kick, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1);
			return true;
		}
		return false;
	}
		
});
