Sound is stopping after a period of time

ProjectX :

The code of the mediaplayer (which starts under the comment: //Code of the mediaplayer begins) is every time called when I click a button. After some time when I click the button, the sound is not played anymore.

It is like : I click for 10 times and it is returning the sound when I click again it stops and does not work anymore. Thanks for looking, If there is any solution comment below! :D

kujeensiti :

You are not releasing MediaPlayers. That could be the reason behind this issue. Without touching most of your logic, one way to do this is:

Make mp and mp2, private members of QuizActivity.

public class QuizActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    ...
    private MediaPlayer mp, mp2;
    ...
}

Create MediaPlayer whenever required, and release it when playback is done.

mp = new MediaPlayer();
if (playSounds) {
    mp.setVolume(1, 1);
} else {
    mp.setVolume(0, 0);
}

AssetFileDescriptor afd;
...
mp.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
    @Override
    public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer unused) {
        mp.release();
        mp = null;
    }
});
mp.start();

At other places, you will have to perform null checks as shown below, before accessing mp and mp2 to avoid NPE.

if (null != mp && null != mp2) {
    if (!isChecked) {
        mp.setVolume(1, 1);
        mp2.setVolume(1, 1);
    } else {
        mp.setVolume(0, 0);
        mp2.setVolume(0, 0);
    }
}

Other approach would be to add click-listeners only after creating media players.
