Android SoundPool: get notified when end of played

This sound so simple that I can't figure out why I can't find the answer lol

I have a working sound pool class (thanks to a tutorial and some tweaking I did), and it works fine.

the problem now is that I want to be able to change my background music randomly. (not always have the same music in a loop but have 2 or 3 and when one finishes I play one of the 2 others).

problem is I can't find a way to get notified that the music has finished playing.

Any ideas ?

Solution

  • It can't be done with SoundPool as far as I can tell.

    The only audio 'player' that I know which can provide a completion notification is MediaPlayer - it's more of a complex beast than SoundPool but allows setting an OnCompletionListener to be notified when playback is complete.
