Question

In my application, I have put a button that plays its own sound by picking a random button sound source from the raw directory.

But when the button is clicked, the default PHONE BUTTON SOUND plays first and then my custom button sound.

How can I disable the default phone button sound?

     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.menu);

    //will fetch a random button sound and load it in this variable.        
    ImageButton amazingPicsButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.amazingPics);
    amazingPicsButton.getBackground().setAlpha(2);
    amazingPicsButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            startActivity(new Intent("com.jasfiddle.AmazingInterface.AMAZINGPICS"));

            //create random sound
            amazingPicsSound = createRandButSound();
            amazingPicsSound.start();
        }
    });         
}

private MediaPlayer createRandButSound(){
    return MediaPlayer.create(this, buttonSounds[r.nextInt(buttonSounds.length)]);
}

Answer 1

all i think you should need to do is:

setSoundEffectsEnabled(false); 

However this may be global, you may need to make your own Button class and set this.setSoundEffectsEnabled(false).
