Hello
How can I define file path in MediaPlayer.create() using variable?
I'am developing my first game for Android. My goal is to play different audio files during app execution. I have some files like:
-sound1.mp3 -sound2.mp3 -sound3.mp3
They are in my /res/raw/ project folder.
And I would like my code to be able to choose a file path.
For example (once not working):
for(int i=0; i>3; i++) {
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer=MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.sound + "" + i;
mediaPlayer.start();
}
Can anyone help me?
