AVAudioPlayer - Muting button

Question

I have searched for this answer and have not found it.

I have music that plays in the background when my iPhone app is launched. But I want a button so that users can mute the music. There are sound effects within the app also so sliding the mute button on the side of the device won't cut it.

This is the current code I have for the AVAudioPlayer.

    - (void)viewDidLoad{
#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
    //here code for use when execute in simulator
#else
    //in real iphone
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"FUNKYMUSIC" ofType:@"mp3"];  
    AVAudioPlayer *TheAudio=[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];  
    TheAudio.delegate = self;  
    [TheAudio play];      
    TheAudio.numberOfLoops = -1;
#endif
}

Can anyone help me out the code needed for a simple button to simply stop the music and start it again.

Thanks in advanced.

Answer 1

Put this code in the viewcontroller.h file:

-(IBAction) btnStop:(id)sender;

Put this code in the viewcontroller.m file:

-(IBAction) btnStop:(id)sender { 
    [TheAudio stop];
    //Whatever else you want to do when the audio is stopped
}

In the Interface builder, connect a button to this action, so when it is clicked this action will be called. That should make the music stop.
