Problem description: I have an array of sounds files with different length. Every time the Play button is clicked, I want one sound be played. The problem is that when the Play button is clicked twice (or more times), the next sound starts and overlaps the currently playing sound. I don't want to clip.stop()the current sound, I want the next sound not to start until the current sound is finished. I have tried different approaches, like boolean flag, clickCount and checking the Clip.isRunning();status, but they not really getting me to where I want. I also saw someone else having similar issue in OS (with MultiPlayer() though), but his problem was resolved AFAIK. Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Here is related code:
public class PlaySounds {
private AudioInputStream audioStream;
public static Clip clip;
private URL url;
public static int nextSound;
public void playAllSounds() {
for (String str : soundList) { // arrayList of sounds
str = soundList.get(nextSound);
url = getClass().getResource(str);
}
try {
audioStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(url);
clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
clip.open(audioStream);
clip.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
Main class file:
PlaySounds ps = new PlaySounds();
int next = 0;
List<Integer> positions = new ArrayList<>();
/*Some other methods....
....
*/
private void getshuffledPositions() {
for (int i = 0, i <=12; i++) {
positions.add(i);
}
Collections.shuffle(positions);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
if (ae.getSource() == playButton) {
//Some codes.....Here I tried boolean flag, etc
ps.nextSound = positions.get(next);
ps.playAllSounds();
//Some more codes.....
