Method parameters in android

Question

Is it possible to have parameters of a method in android to be the value for R.raw.parametervalue, for example;

public void sound(SOMETHING sound){

m = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.sound);

}

yes it is possible, as R.raw.sound is an int. So your method signature will have (Context context, Int soundId) — Darpan, Dec 12 '14 at 12:51

For sound is not getting recognized, you need to create sound file in 'raw' folder, this problem is mentioned here - Check this one out

You can pass the id and retrieve raw file from resources using id.

Example:

public void sound (int soundId) {
    AssetFileDescriptor aFileDesc = context.getResources().openRawResourceFd(soundId);
    m = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), soundId);
    //do something
}

Hope this helps.
