Question

I am trying to play a simple wav file using PyGame Subset for Android. I can’t seem to get it working. Does anyone have any example code working? There isn’t any examples in the documentation.

Answer 1

According to Pygame Subset for Android documentation, you should be able to play sounds using android_mixer. Start by importing it [1]:

import android_mixer as mixer

Now use the mixer just as a common pygame mixer to play sounds:

mixer.music.load(sys.argv[1])
mixer.music.play()

Please note that “the init and pre_init methods work, but are ignored – Android chooses appropriate settign automatically” as well as that “Only filenames and true file objects can be used – file-like objects will probably not work”. Some other restrictions apply as well. [1].
