Question

I am writing an Activity. It is supposed to display some view and play a sound. Everything is great, except for…
I am not sure where to put the code to play sound.
Currently I am playing it in onCreate() method of Activity, but the sound starts playing before Activity transition is complete. I would very much like the sound to play after the transition is complete and entire view is visible.
Is there any method that I can override/any Listener that I can implement, that gets called after the transition is complete? Is there any way to know the duration of transition, so I can simply postDelayed(Runnable action, long delayMillis) on View?

Answer 1

Did you try to put your code for playing sound in onResume()? Because it gets called when Activity is in foreground.

From Docs,

onResume() –

Called after onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle), onRestart(), or
onPause(), for your activity to start interacting with the user. This
is a good place to begin animations, open exclusive-access devices
(such as the camera), etc
