I need some help with my app I have recently started. I am a very big starter to coding so please do help me, it'll mean a lot. I need a piece of music to play as soon as the user enters my app, i have followed other youtube tutorials but they only work for the older Xcode versions, so please help thank you so much.
How about putting it in you application didFinishLaunching but be sure to instantiate it in you .h and .m.
Something like this should do your problem:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
NSString* resourcePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
resourcePath = [resourcePath stringByAppendingString:#"/YOURMUSICNAME.wav"];
NSLog(#"Path to play: %#", resourcePath);
NSError* err;
//Initialize our player pointing to the path to our resource
player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:
[NSURL fileURLWithPath:resourcePath] error:&err];
if( err ){
//bail!
NSLog(#"Failed with reason: %#", [err localizedDescription]);
}
else{
//set our delegate and begin playback
player.delegate = self;
[player play];
player.numberOfLoops = -1;
player.currentTime = 0;
player.volume = 1.0;
}
}
Then if you want to stop it:
[player stop];
or pause it :
[player pause];
and also import it in your header file:
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
EDIT:
You should to ofcourse declare it in your header, then synthesize it.
//.h and add the bold part:
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <AVAudioPlayerDelegate> {
AVAudioPlayer *player;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) AVAudioPlayer *player;
//.m
#synthesize player;
You can use the AVAudioPlayer. It pretty straight forward to use:
NSURL *path = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:[DataPersister getQualifiedPathForFileInDirectory:DataPersisterPathBundle fileName:#"music.mp3"]];
NSError *outError;
AVAudioPlayer *musicSound = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:path error:&outError];
[musicSound play];
[path release];
Remember to import
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/MUSIC.mp3", [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]]];
NSError *error;
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error];
audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = -1;
[audioPlayer play];
audioPlayer.volume = 1.0;
audioPlayer.currentTime = 2;
Use this at - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions method will play music for sure
Happy Coding ;)

I use ARC.
Here is the method for starting the audio in my code:
.h file:
#property (retain,nonatomic)AVAudioPlayer *myAudio;
and .m files
-(void)myPlaySound:(NSString *)mySoundFile NumberOfLoops:(int)loopsCount ofType:(NSString *)fileType
{
if([myAudio isPlaying])
{
[myAudio stop];
}
NSURL* musicFile = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:mySoundFile
ofType:fileType]];
NSError *error;
myAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:musicFile error:&error];
self.theAudio = myAudio;
myAudio.volume = audioVolume;
myAudio.numberOfLoops = loopsCount;
myAudio.currentTime = 0.0;
[myAudio prepareToPlay];
if([myAudio play] == NO)
{
NSLog(#"error");
}
}
Based on the button press, I play different audio files of different length and bit rate and types.
Its working, but I get memory leak issue.
I am making a game for iPhone using objective-c. I have the music I want to play in a file in the project. I need to know how to make it begin playing when the app launches, and loop at the end. Does anyone know how to do this? Code examples would be great! Thanks.
you can use AVAudioPlayer in App Delegate.
First in your App Delegate .h file add these lines:
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
and these one:
AVAudioPlayer *musicPlayer;
In your .m file add this method:
- (void)playMusic {
NSString *musicPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"phone_loop" ofType:#"wav"];
NSURL *musicURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:musicPath];
musicPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:musicURL error:nil];
[musicPlayer setNumberOfLoops:-1]; // Negative number means loop forever
[musicPlayer prepareToPlay];
[musicPlayer play];
}
Finally call it in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
...
[self playMusic];
...
}
If you want to stop the music just:
[musicPlayer stop];
Aditionally you can check the Apple Documentation for AVAudioPlayer delegate for Handling Audio Interruptions http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/AVFoundation/Reference/AVAudioPlayerDelegateProtocolReference/Reference/Reference.html
PS: Remember to import the AVFoundation Framework to your project.
First import AVFoundation Framework to your project. Then insert the music file into your project.
declare
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
And then
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
NSURL *file = [NSURL URLWithString:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"soundName" ofType:#"mp3"]];
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:file error:nil];
audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = -1; // Infinite loops
[audioPlayer setVolume:1.0];
[audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
[audioPlayer start]
You can stop the sound before application goes to backgound by using
[audioPlayer stop];
I would like to add some background music to the splash screen in the iPhone. I have already increased the splash screen time by few seconds.. And the music isn't long... But I am not sure how to do it? Need some guidance...
Use following function for playing sound file.
-(void)playSoundFromFileName:(NSString*)pstrFileName ofType:(NSString*)pstrFileType
{
SystemSoundID bell;
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((CFURLRef)[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:pstrFileName ofType:pstrFileType]], &bell);
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound (bell);
}
Call this function in application delegate didfinishlaunchingwithoptions method...
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
...
[self playSoundFromFileName:#"yourfile" ofType:#"extension"];
}
my personal taste: don't bother your users, and get out of the splash as fast as you can
How about putting it in you application didFinishLaunching but be sure to instantiate it in you .h and .m.
Something like this should do your problem:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{

//bail!
NSLog(#"Failed with reason: %#", [err localizedDescription]);
}
else{
//set our delegate and begin playback
player.delegate = self;
[player play];
player.numberOfLoops = -1;
player.currentTime = 0;
player.volume = 1.0;
}
}
Then if you want to stop it:
[player stop];
or pause it :
[player pause];
and also import it in your header file:
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
and add this to your header the bold part:
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <AVAudioPlayerDelegate>
I am playing "sound effects" in my app when buttons are clicked and such and I have been having some difficulties getting the delegates to work properly within the AVAudioPlayer class to keep the music playing after the sound. I have the framework imported and delegates set but I can not seem to get the AVAudioSession shared instance to work... I know I am missing something but can not seem to find a clear answer anywhere even within apples docs. Here is the code I am using trying to accomplish this.
#import "AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h
#import "MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h"
#interface HomeViewController : UIViewController <AVAudioPlayerDelegate, MPMediaPlayback
> {
When a button is pushed
-(IBAction)About
{
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"button" ofType:#"caf"];
AVAudioPlayer* theAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
theAudio.delegate = self;
[theAudio play];
AboutViewController *about = [[AboutViewController alloc] init];
[self presentModalViewController:about animated:YES];
NSString *path1 = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"move" ofType:#"caf"];
AVAudioPlayer* theAudio1 = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path1] error:NULL];
theAudio.delegate = self;
[theAudio1 play];
}
Delegates trying to either play my sound as a "ambient noise" or just resume play after my sound happens
-(void)audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:(AVAudioPlayer *)player successfully:(BOOL)flag
{
}
-(void)audioPlayerDecodeErrorDidOccur:(AVAudioPlayer *)player error:(NSError *)error
{
}
-(void)audioPlayerBeginInterruption:(AVAudioPlayer *)player
{
}
-(void)audioPlayerEndInterruption:(AVAudioPlayer *)player withFlags:(NSUInteger)flags
{
if (flags)
{
AVAudioPlayer *audio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] init];
[audio setDelegate:self];
[audio play];
}
}
Now the last delegate from what I understand is the only delegate of use really in my case and what I have will not work since I need to be using the [AVAudioSession SharedInstance] like this but I can not seem to get the AVAudioSession to work!
-(void)audioPlayerEndInterruption:(AVAudioPlayer *)player withFlags:(NSUInteger)flags
{
if (flags == AVAudioSessionFlags_ResumePlay)
{
[player play];
}
}
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I basically just need to know how to get the [AVAudio SharedInstance] so if anyone knows what class I need to import or framework I need to add to get this working it would be very much obliged!
Thanks
I'm trying to create a sort of audio playlist using AVAudioPlayer. So I've used the following code:
.h
<AVAudioPlayerDelegate>
{
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
.m
#synthesize audioPlayer;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:nil];
audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = 0;
audioPlayer.delegate = self;
[audioPlayer play];
}
- (void)audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:(AVAudioPlayer *)player successfully:(BOOL)flag
{
if (flag)
{
[player release];
currentSong = currentSong + 1;
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[songs objectAtIndex:currentSong] ofType:#"mp3"]];
artist.text = [artists objectAtIndex:currentSong];
song.text = [songs objectAtIndex:currentSong];
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:nil];
audioPlayer.delegate = self;
audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = 0;
[audioPlayer initWithContentsOfURL:url error:nil];
[audioPlayer play];
}
}
This works for two songs, but after this there isn't any audio. Any idea why this is?
Thanks,
Denis
In this line you are initing an audio player:
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:nil];
Then you are initing it again in this line (unneeded duplication, and probably an additional retain):
[audioPlayer initWithContentsOfURL:url error:nil];
Then the next time the loop comes around, even though you release it using the line
[player release];
…there is a problem as it is still in memory, tying up a hardware codec or wasting resources. Try removing the second initWithContents… line as it is unnecessary.
1.Just maintain an array.
2.Once you create an instance of audioPlayer - add to the array and call play and release the instance of audioPlayer(since it will get retained once you added to array).
3.In audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying remove the audioPlayer from that array.
So you can play multiple files at a time
