Playing sounds in Android

Copy your sounds in raw/ folder in res/ . If you do not have raw/ folder then make one by right clicking on res/ folder, click on Android resource directory and then giving directory name as “raw” and selecting resource type as “raw” and then copy your sounds in this directory. 

The following code starts a sound in onCreate() method and handle its lifecycle:

• Starts the sound on onCreate().
• Pause the Sound on onPause() and getting its seek position.
• Playing the sound on onResume() from where it was stopped at onPause().
• Release the resources associated with MediaPlayer object on onDestroy().

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private static MediaPlayer mp ;
private int musicSeekLength = 0;
@Override
protected void onCreate() {
startSound();
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
