B4J Question GameViewHelper. PlayAudioClip (Mp3File, x) lacks StopPlay or/and End during playback

[johnerikson]

I use GameViewHelper.PlayaudioClip to play background music to pictures.
Does anybody know if/how playback can be stopped before it runs out?

You should use MediaPlayer to play music. PlayAudioClip is meant for low latency short playbacks. Similar to B4A SoundPool.

Thanks!
Have tried with MediaPlayer. It's just that I don't get MediaPlayer to work at all.
Unable to initialize Mediplayer. These are some unsuccessful attempts

Private MP As MediaPlayer
‘……………..
    'sDirData = File.DirData("")' = C:\Users\JohnErik\AppData\Roaming   'moved the file .mp3 here
    'MP.Initialize("Complete",  File.GetUri( File.DirData (""),  "Stardust.mp3"))
    'MP.Initialize("Complete",  File.GetUri( sDirData ,  "Stardust.mp3"))
    ' Result:java.lang.IllegalStateException: Toolkit not initialized for both
    
    'sGetUri = File.GetUri( "", "Stardust.mp3") '= file:/D:/Program/B4J/Server/ABMServer/EasyMedia/Objects/Stardust.mp3
    'MP.Initialize("Complete",   sGetUri)  'moved the file .mp3 ubder objects
    'Result: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Toolkit not initialized
    
    'sGetUri = "File:/D:/Program/B4J/Server/ABMServer/EasyMedia/Objects/www/easymedia/EasyVideos/Audio" & PG_UserID & "/Stardust.mp3"
    'MP.Initialize("Complete", sGetUri)
    'Result: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Toolkit not initialized
    
    'MP.Initialize("Complete", File.geturi(File.DirAssets, "Stardust.mp3"))
    'Result: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Toolkit not initialized

The same errors on all options. Maybe something very simple goes wrong!
I have been looking for examples in the forum, but it has not helped me!
However, GameViewHelper is super Simple but missing the stop/end!

I am very grateful for a completely example, I work now with a non-io Project [ABMaterial].

MediaPlayer will only work in a UI app.

 

[johnerikson]

Thanks for the information!

I suspected it, I am not able to safely determine if the examples in the forum are UI or non-UI!, so back to PlayaudioClip if there are no other options. I am allowed to prepare the length of the MP3 files.

jFX library isn't meant to be used in non-ui applications. MediaPlayer is part of jFX library.

Download the attached library and copy it to the internal libraries folder (v1.03).
It includes an untested StopAudioClip method.

Many thanks!

Erel, you are a star, exactly what I needed!
I understand you fix it now, you couldn't have done it faster and better!
