Question

I was wondering how I could replace the mp3name parameter with a variable that matches the MP3 name in the raw file. I have a number of mp3 files to call at various times but only really want to have one MediaPlayer method. Using a String variable does not seem to work as I get the error that the String variable name does not match a raw file.

Eg This does not work when there is an audiofile.mp3 in the raw file.

String playsound

playsound = audiofile

MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.playsound);

How do I utilise a variable to get this to work?
Thanks

It’s an integer. Refer to the file like this.

int song1 = R.raw.testsound;
MediaPlayer testPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, song1);

But using a URI is more the way to go
