Playing two audio files In android

Question

I am new to android and I'm trying to develop an app where I take two music file. When the app starts the first music plays nd when the user clicks a button the second music plays and the first music has to fade out slowly.

I have tried it but i ended up with playing two music files one after the other. I am not able to get how to bring the fade out effect.

Here is my sample code

package com.Audio;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class DemoAudio extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        MediaPlayer mp=MediaPlayer.create(getBaseContext(), R.raw.fruit_dance);
        mp.start();
        mp.setVolume(1.0f, 1.0f);

        Button btn=(Button) findViewById(R.id.xBtn);
        btn.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener(){
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event){
                if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
                    final MediaPlayer mp1=MediaPlayer.create(getBaseContext(), R.raw.futurebells_full);
                    mp1.start();
                    mp1.setVolume(5.0f, 5.0f);
                }
                return true;
            }
        });
     }

}

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

I got the answer for it. I have created two separate objects for MediaPlayer and by using some methods i have adjusted their volumes the first music to lower the pitch and the second one to higher the pitch and this is what i wanted.

This can be achieved well by using threads, it seems to work more better than by setting volumes directly.

Two files can be played simultaneously if Java Threads are used. Start your MediaPlayer objects in two different threads. Always use threads for non-UI related stuff.
