playing audio on Android

[keram]

Hi,

After reading few posts about problems with playing audio files on Android devices I'm still not sure what should be done.
My tablet is supporting audio formats: AAC, AAC+, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, eAAC+, MP3, OGG, WAV, WMA, AC-3, FLAC. I used a wav file that plays OK in IDE but not in the android standalone.

So I'd like to confirm:

1. If I import the audio file as Control, do I have to Copy Files in the Standalone Application Settings as well?
if yes,

2. Do I have to specify the path for it?
if yes,

3. is the path below correct?
put specialFolderPath("engine") into gPath
and
put this in the handler:
play audioClip file (gPath &"/audio.wav")

Hi Keram,

The imported audio controls will not playback when deployed to either iOS and Android. As you have mentioned, you will need to use the "Copy Files" section of your standalone application settings if you wish to include any audio/video within your mobile apps.

Your script is almost correct but you do not need "file" after your play command. Remember to declare your global variable as well.

I have tested the following and the sound plays as expected-

Code: Select all

global gPath

on mouseUp
   put specialFolderPath("engine") into gPath
   play audioClip (gPath &"/audio.wav")
end mouseUp

Kind Regards,

Thanks Neil,

you will need to use the "Copy Files" section of your standalone application settings if you wish to include any audio/video within your mobile apps.

Does it meant that in this case I'm not limited to the use of only audio wav files that LC can play but can use mp3 files that most of the mobiles can play?
Or is the ability to play particular formats in standalones dependent on LC engine as well?

Hi Keram,

With this method you are not limited to WAVS as MP3's will work fine. A list of the media formats that are supported by default on Android can be viewed at the following link-

I got this to work on Android:
by ticking Copy Referenced Files, and the destination folder became _ReferencedFiles

Hi Adam,

welcome to the forum!
Add your sound(s) via the "Copy files" tab in the "Standalone Application Settings".
You will find them in your standalone in -> specialfolderpath("resources")

Code: Select all

...
play audioClip (specialfolderpath("resources") &"/your_audio.wav")
...

Best
