How do I make this sound loop?

Question

I am trying to loop the sound in this code. In the finally block of the main try and catch I do this :

    if (loop) {
        auline.flush();
        run();
    } else {
        ended=true;
        auline.drain();
        auline.close();
    }

but it causes a stackoverflow. How can I safely loop this sound without creating a new instance of it?

Answer 1

You're calling run from within run, this will eventually fill up the call stack & result in your stack overflow exception

Now, the question is, how do you overcome it?

You need to loop within the run method. The best way I can think of is to have a "exit" trigger in the run method

public void run() {
    while(loop) {
        //...play sound
    }
}

You could the use stop method to also trigger the loop flag
