copied!<p>I have the counter working (thanks for the help) and I have added sound using MediaPlayer, the problem is that there is a delay loading the counter because the sounds are loaded on the same class.</p> <p>Is there a way to pre-load the sounds using the main class, so then, when the counter is called, the numbers are buffered and can be called from this class?</p> <p>The application has a splash screen and the only purpose is to load anything needed by the other classes to avoid delays.</p> <p>If sounds can't be loaded from another class, could they be loaded individually at play time?</p> <p>This is what I have so far...</p> <pre><code>final boolean sound = timer_sound.getBoolean("timer_sound", true); final MediaPlayer number01 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_1); final MediaPlayer number02 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_2); final MediaPlayer number03 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_3); final MediaPlayer number04 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_4); final MediaPlayer number05 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_5); final MediaPlayer number06 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_6); final MediaPlayer number07 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_7); final MediaPlayer number08 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_8); final MediaPlayer number09 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_9); final MediaPlayer number10 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_10); final MediaPlayer number15 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_15); final MediaPlayer number20 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.number_20); lastSeconds = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.lastminuteseconds); lastMinute = new CountDownTimer(60 * 1000, 1000) { public void onTick(long secondsToStart) { int elapseTime = (int) (secondsToStart / 1000); if (sound == true){ switch(elapseTime) { case 1: number01.start();break; case 2: number02.start();break; case 3: number03.start();break; case 4: number04.start();break; case 5: number05.start();break; case 6: number06.start();break; case 7: number07.start();break; case 8: number08.start();break; case 9: number09.start();break; case 10: number10.start();break; case 15: number15.start();break; case 20: number20.start();break; } } </code></pre> <p>this is working almost fine, the problem is that there is a 2 second delay loading the files, and I wanted to add few more (50, 40, 30).</p>
