new app I am working on....

I would like to create a single button that starts the music (mp3 in the raw folder) (getting the a song to play when a button is pressed is the easy part).... then press the same button to skip to the next song.

To me this sounds like I need an array of songs declared somewhere, then when the button is pressed it parses and goes to the next song.

Just not sure how to do this, or if this is even correct thinking.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello marcjc, You can keep an array of song resource ids. Then traverse each index of resource ids array as you press button by setting a incremental/decremental variable for array index. The array could be much more like this:

Code: Select all

int[] songs = {R.raw.song1,R.raw.song2,R.raw.song3,....etc};

Hope you got the idea and can make it better for you.

Have fun

Thanks,

Got this declared but not sure how to call it in my code:

Code: Select all

final int[] songs = {R.raw.ef101a, R.raw.ef101b, R.raw.ef101c, R.raw.ef101d, R.raw.ef101e};

Code: Select all

public void onClick(View arg0) {
                 MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(efaustusa.this, songs);
                 mp.start();

Thank you for your help.
