Play and Pause using the same button

I want to make it only one button that has two function. First click I want to play it and second click I want to pause it. And when I click it again It continues where it left off.

JAVA SIDE;

MediaPlayer ocean;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_sound);
ocean=MediaPlayer.create(Sound.this,R.raw.ocean);

public void play(View v)
ocean.start();

public void pause(View V)
ocean.pause();
}


ACTIVITY SIDE:

<Button
android:id="@+id/play"
android:layout_width="165dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="285dp"
android:background="@drawable/oceansound"
android:onClick="play"
android:text=""/>

Use a flag that indicates if the player is on or off:

Boolean isOn = false;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_sound);
ocean=MediaPlayer.create(Sound.this,R.raw.ocean);

public void play(View v)
if (!isOn)
ocean.start();
isOn = true;
else
ocean.pause();
isOn = false;


}


Since you have ocean is MediaPlayer object, you can check if the song is playing by ocean.isPlaying(), hope it will help you.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
MediaPlayer ocean;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_sound);

ocean = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.ocean);


public void play(View view)
if (ocean.isPlaying())
ocean.pause();
else
ocean.start();





It's simple, use a checker variable to track the action.

Create a global variable isPlay in int / boolean, in your play, make a if statement to check whether it is playing or in pause, if playing, ocean.pause();, set the button background to pause and vice versa.

isPlay

play

ocean.pause();

Hope it helps
