Play background music using timer in Android

Question

In my application, there is 1 main activity and there are many fragments that are inflated by the activity.

In one of the fragments, there is a task that runs for 10 seconds. Along with this task, background music needs to be played for this duration.

How can I achieve this?

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

private void startEverything() {
    startMyAnimation();
    playMusic()
}

private void startMyAnimation() {
    ObjectAnimator progressAnimator = ObjectAnimator.ofInt(mProgress, "progress", 0, 10000);
    progressAnimator.setDuration(10000);
    progressAnimator.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
    progressAnimator.start();
}

private void playMusic() {
    final MediaPlayer soundPlayer= MediaPlayer.create(getContext(), R.raw.your_bgm);
    soundPlayer.start();


    Handler musicStopHandler = new Handler();
    Runnable musicStopRunable = new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            soundPlayer.stop();
        }
    };

    musicStopHandler.postDelayed(musicStopRunable, 10000);
}

What happens here is, you start your animation by calling startMyAnimation(), then you call playMusic() to play your music.

In playMusic(), you start playing the file by calling soundPlayer.start();, then you start run a Handler that will execute the code inside 'musicStopRunnable', and the code in musicStopRunnable, stops the music playing.
