Is there any predefined sound on android?

Question

I'm wondering, if there is any predefined sounds in Android that I can use in my application.

I was trying to use a class called SoundManager which is build specifically for sound playing in an efficient way.

I realized that what I need is much much smaller than this class. I need a click sound when the button is clicked and a navigation sound when the user navigate through a menu or a set of buttons.

I guess there is something in the android API fit to my purpose but I could not find it. any help please in finding it and hoe to use it?

Whats wrong with SoundManager? – mibollma Jun 30 '11 at 12:11 — mibollma, Jun 30 '11 at 12:11

You could look into the View.playSoundEffect api. This method accepts a SoundEffectConstants value where, among others, a CLICK constant is available.

This is exactly what I want. I knew there is something like this but I could not find it. I didn't test it but I hope it will work with me. Thanks @Peter :) – iTurki Jun 30 '11 at 18:29
@2rk - that's great. Perhaps you could share your findings here when you get it to work? Good luck! – Peter Lillevold Jul 01 '11 at 08:16

I'm still trying to figure out another problem. Then, I will update this. This method won't work unless the `phone's Audible Selection` is _enabled_. You may can help here [link](http://stackoverflow.com/q/6555410/543711) – iTurki Jul 02 '11 at 07:02

Using the MediaPlayer it's really simple, see for instance this SO thread: Android - play sound on button click - Null pointer exception

I am aware of media player. But I need something very light. I have no media to play. It is just **Simple Click**. Thanks – iTurki Jun 30 '11 at 12:15
What do you mean light? You only need like 5 lines of code and a 1 kilobyte sound :) – Stefan H Singer Jun 30 '11 at 12:17
I understand @2rk, he wants to know if there is a built-in resource in the platform that can be used, like a simple audio notification. – Peter Lillevold Jun 30 '11 at 12:50
That is exactly what I want @Peter – iTurki Jun 30 '11 at 18:26
