Sound via J2ME

[Breen]

I'm new to developing mobile java app's, and have immediatly hit a wall  

I'm trying to play a sound from my disk, and through various sources have come to the following

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14

try { //        Manager.playTone(64,1000,100);        Player p;         InputStream is = null;                         is=getClass().getResourceAsStream("wmpaud1.wav");         p = Manager.createPlayer(is, "audio/x-wav");         p.setLoopCount(1); // Play it once        p.realize();         p.prefetch();         p.start();         } catch(IOException ioe) {         } catch(MediaException e) {         }

Actually, when i change the filename, i get an IllegalArgumentException, so my guess is that the sound is indeed found.  

However, whatever i do, the sound doesn't play, is there an error in my ways?

Thanks

You could compare your code with the example in the MMAPI spec, which I seem to remember does just the same thing. I don't have it on this PC though.

Some obvious things come to mind:

• what do you mean by "play a sound from my disk"? With this code you can only play a sound from your MIDlet's JAR file. (Or perhaps your build directory if you're using an emulator to run the MIDlet classes before packaging as a JAR)
  
• you're specifying a relative filename, which means that it gets prepended with your class's package name (with slashes instead of dots); more often it's useful to specify an absolute pathname, i.e. "/wmpaud1.wav", to get a file in your JAR's root directory
  
• stupid question, but is your phone set to silent?
  
• are you sure that your phone (or emulator's emulated phone) supports WAV? For example, Nokia 6230 doesn't support WAV or any kind of sampled sound format in MMAPI
