    <p>How to play only 1 audio file at any one time?</p> <p>So I've created a GUI which has multiple buttons, and to each button is attached an action listener. When the button is pressed, it will play the audio file (.wav). This works fine. The issue is that I want it to only play one file at any one time, so the sounds do not overlap, and I do not know what to do for this.</p> <p>Will I need to use threading and synchronization? Any and all advice will be much appreciated. </p> <p>EDIT </p> <p>Declared as class variables:</p> <pre><code>String soundName; AudioInputStream audioInputStream; Clip clip; </code></pre> <p>Actionlistener:</p> <pre><code>@Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { if(e.getSource()==buttonOne){ soundName = "messageOne.wav"; }else if(e.getSource()==buttonTwo){ soundName = "messageTwo.wav"; }else if(e.getSource()==buttonThree){ soundName = "messgaeThree.wav"; }else if(e.getSource()==buttonFour){ soundName = "messageFour.wav"; } try { audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File(soundName).getAbsoluteFile()); } catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException ex) { Logger.getLogger(GUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } catch (IOException ex) { Logger.getLogger(GUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } try { clip = AudioSystem.getClip(); } catch (LineUnavailableException ex) { Logger.getLogger(GUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } try { clip.open(audioInputStream); } catch (LineUnavailableException ex) { Logger.getLogger(GUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } catch (IOException ex) { Logger.getLogger(GUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } clip.start(); } </code></pre>

    1. COThere are a number of paths you might follow. One is to have only a single `Clip` instance that is used by all buttons.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
