Android 9 Development Cookbook - Third Edition

Getting ready

Create a new project in Android Studio and call it SoundPool. Use the default Phone & Tablet options, and select Empty Activity when prompted for Activity Type.

To demonstrate playing sounds simultaneously, we need at least two audio files in the project. We went to SoundBible.com (http://soundbible.com/royalty-free-sounds-5.html) and found two royalty-free, public-domain sounds to include in the downloaded project files.

The first sound is a longer playing sound: http://soundbible.com/2032-Water.html

The second sound is shorter: http://soundbible.com/1615-Metal-Drop.html
