How to use soundPool in a custom view class?

Question

I am making a simple demo which with a custom view class extends the view which want to shows random circle with random color who can appear randomly on a canvas.

I have already make the random issue and set a onTouchEvent to judge whether the Click is in the circle,if the circle was clicked then the app plays a short sound. But at the step,I met some problems.

I uses the SoundPool to get the music played,but since it can not be used under customview(Mine is MyView.java)So I put it back to the MainActivity.java under the onCreate function under MainActivity extends Activity,after the setting,the functions seems ok but I still can not use soundpool.play in my customview.java.

How to fix it?I am just a rookie so I am still not clear about all these things,can you help me?

The code is here(MainActivity.java)

package com.example.luckbag2;

import java.util.HashMap;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.SoundPool;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private SoundPool soundPool;
private HashMap<Integer,Integer> soundMap= new HashMap<Integer,Integer>();

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    MyView v = new MyView(getApplicationContext());
    setContentView(v);           
    soundPool =new SoundPool(10,AudioManager. STREAM_SYSTEM,5);
    soundMap.put(1,soundPool.load(this,R.raw.collide,0));    
}
public SoundPool getSoundPool() {
    return soundPool;
}
public void setSoundPool(SoundPool soundPool) {
    this.soundPool = soundPool;
}
public HashMap<Integer,Integer> getSoundMap() {
    return soundMap;
}
public void setSoundMap(HashMap<Integer,Integer> soundMap) {
    this.soundMap = soundMap;
}
}

Myview.java

To call soundPool.play from MyView class pass MainActivity class context to using MyView constructor :

MainActivity mActivity;
public MyView(Context context,MainActivity mActivity) {
    super(context);
this.mActivity=mActivity;

}

From MainActivity create MyView class object as:

MyView v = new MyView(getApplicationContext(),this);

Now use mActivity for accessing methods from MainActivity :

To get SoundPool object in MyView class:

SoundPool soundPool= mActivity.getSoundPool();

Use soundPool object to call play method :

SoundPool soundPool= mActivity.getSoundPool();
soundPool.play(mActivity.getSoundMap().get(1), 1,1,0,0,1)
