Hello everyone! I have an issue with the Sound library import into the Android Mode. All works fine when in Java Mode, all sounds are playing as they should, but in Android Mode the " import processing.sound.* " line of code gives me the following error: Exception in thread "Thread-119" java.lang.…

Hi everyone! :slight_smile: After trying all kind of versions, I’ve managed to get Android Sound working by downloading this folder from Github. It works only with WAV or AIF file formats in both Java and Android Mode, but for me this is better than nothing, since I can convert online MP3 files to …

I’ve been having an identical error. Have you managed to sort it, or find another Sound library that works on both Android and PC? Josh

@SammySylvester84 @joshuamv I don’t think this is an issue with the Processing Sound library, rather Android Mode in general. It appears that both sound libraries that support Android (P4/Sound and Pd4P3 ) both throw cryptic errors that seem to be related to importing external libraries. I can conf…

Looks like this was already reported last year. You can see @kevinstadler ’s fix at the bottom. I haven’t confirmed it that works or not. Cannot build Android Mode sketch that uses any native code libraries · Issue #738 · processing/processing-android (github.com)

I had a lot of problems with the Sound Library.

You can run the sketches from “Examples” to check if they run correctly. …

Hi! I removed the existing Sound library and downloaded the latest version of Processing-Sound from Github as you adviced, but it gives me an error when adding a Sound File (“The class SoundFile does not exist”). After an online research, it seems that the Processing IDE needs a “.jar” file inside …

Not yet! :frowning: What about you? :slight_smile:

No success either… :frowning:

Hi Yes, I wrote a few sketches and they work. If you use a Sound File it must be in .aiff format. Try to run the example “Sampler” Under IDE/File/Examples/Libraries/Sound/Sound/Soundfile/Sampler and check if it works.

Thanks for these solutions, MPROCD and Sammy. I’ve moved my current project from Processing to p5.js in part because of the sound for Android issue, and in part just to make the whole project browser-based and therefore easier for cross-platform. But if/when I come back to prototyping something new …

It doesn’t work… :frowning: It’s giving me the same error message like in the beginning… The strange fact is that at the beginning of the year sound worked fine in Android Mode. I don’t know what happened in the mean time… :expressionless:
