                    @Override
                    public void onLoadComplete(SoundPool sp, int sampleId, int status) {
                        soundPool.play(sampleId, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0, 0, 1.0f);
                    }
                });
                soundPool.load(GameActivity.this, R.raw.btn_click, 1);

Where i should add it.

You need to release the soundpool. soundPool.release(); soundPool = null; Then you can use it again. — Andy Developer, Jun 21 '17 at 11:46

Release the soundpool before use it again.

if(soundPool != null)
{
   soundPool.release(); 
   // soundPool = null;
}
soundPool = new SoundPool(5, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
soundPool.setOnLoadCompleteListener(new SoundPool.OnLoadCompleteListener() {
        @Override
        public void onLoadComplete(SoundPool sp, int sampleId, int status) {
            soundPool.play(sampleId, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0, 0, 1.0f);
        }
    });
soundPool.load(GameActivity.this, R.raw.hit_black_balloon, 1);

Where i should add it? AFter play? – Shivani kedar Jun 21 '17 at 11:54
When you raise this kind of exception. When you close the screen or try to play it again? – Andy Developer Jun 21 '17 at 12:02
Try to play it again – Shivani kedar Jun 21 '17 at 12:06
Okey so when you stop the sound write this code and after that again load the new soundpool this will resolve your problem. – Andy Developer Jun 21 '17 at 12:07
I am not stopping sound , actually i am developing game so when i shoot arrow and when it touches any object then sound play. I am just calling soundpool.play – Shivani kedar Jun 21 '17 at 12:09
Can you please add some more code so I get some idea. Are you using the code even after close the screen or something like that. – Andy Developer Jun 21 '17 at 12:14
