Eclipse: Android Soundboard buttons are "overclickable”



In my android soundboard, all of the buttons work perfectly and the sounds play normally, but there is a problem. The problem is that when you press a button in the app, you can press other buttons. For instance, if the button I press plays a siren like noise, I can press another button and both sounds will play at the same time. This is not what I want. Is there any code I can add to make it so that I can click only one button at a time, or some code that makes the previous sound stop and it will play the newly selected sound?

  1. the simplest thing is to just have a soundPlaying boolean that is global that you set when the user clicks a sound button and that is unset by the end of that sound.

    //global variable
    private boolean soundPlaying = false;

    //in your click function
    if(soundPlaying)
    return;
    soundPlaying = true;
    ...



    //when sound is done
    onComplete(){
    soundPlaying = false;
    }

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?

Java Urban Myths

Along the line of C++ Urban Myths and Perl Myths : What are the Java Urban Myths? That is, the ideas and conceptions about Java that are common but have no actual roots in reality . As a Java programmer, what ideas held by your fellow Java programmers have you had to disprove so often that you've come to believe they all learned at the feet of the same drunk old story-teller? Ideally, you would express these myths in a single sentence, and include an explanation of why they are false.
