Directory for storing audio files in Android

Question

I want to play an audio file based on the click of a button. I have defined the onClickListener() method and the layout file. When I add the wav files to the res/ directory, I get the following build error:

invalid resource directory name temp.wav /hello/res line 1 Android AAPT Problem

My question is as follows:
1. What directory do I need to store audio files in? Currently they are in the res/ folder.
2. Also, mp.setDataSource("/res/temp.wav") the correct way to invoke the media player?

Answer 1

The audio files can be moved to a folder named raw which should be created in the res folder.

It can be accessed by the following code:

MediaPlayer mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.soundclip); mPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); mPlayer.start(); 

This is the easiest way. You can try it..
