AVAudioPlayer UIButton - second touch stop current audio play.

[hanumandev]

I have a UIButton that when touched plays an audio file. At the moment touching the button twice in succession plays the audio file twice instead of stopping it.

I'm looking to have the second click stop the audio file and not play a second instance. any suggestions would be very much appreciated. thanks

-(IBAction) buttonNoisePlay {

NSString *pathsoundFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"noise" ofType:@"mp4"];
sound = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPathathsoundFile] error:NULL];
sound.delegate = self;
sound.numberOfLoops = -1;
sound.volume = 1;

if(sound == nil || sound.playing == NO) //if not playing
{

[sound play];
}
else
{
[sound stop];
}
}

[sumosumo84]

make a boolean called play, and set it false in viewdidload, or something like that.

then use this code

-(IBAction) buttonNoisePlay {

NSString *pathsoundFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"noise" ofType:@"mp4"];
sound = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPathathsoundFile] error:NULL];
sound.delegate = self;
sound.numberOfLoops = -1;
sound.volume = 1;	

if(play == FALSE) //if not playing
{

[sound play];
play = FALSE;
}
else
{
[sound stop];
play = TRUE;
}
}

I hesitate to say this because I'm very new to programming, but when I had this problem, through a lot of trial and error, I found that putting:


// This stops audio overlap ********

if (playSound) [playSound release];

//**************************************

at the end of the IBAction stops any overlap. At least it does on my little app. If I was you I would try anything that the experienced developers suggest first and if that doesn't work try this out from me. Like I said, at this stage I barely know what I'm doing (but this solution does seem to work though ).

Use one BOOL variable..
While playing set BOOL variable isPlaying = YES;
And when audio is playing st BOOL variable NO,

Like Here Code..
[audio prepareToPlay];
isPlaying = YES;
if(isPlaying)
{
[audio play];
isPlaying = NO;
}
else
{
[audio stop];
isPlaying = YES;
}
Have a nice time..
