I have a camera shutter sound, camera.wav. Copied to the Nokia 6682 it plays correctly when manually opened from the Gallery. I am trying to make it play within my MIDlet as installed in the root of the .jar.

First of all,

System.getProperty("audio.encodings");

returns a number of formats, including "audio/wav".

I have tried various unsuccessful methods of playing this sound, including:

try {
	InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/camera.wav");
	Player p = Manager.createPlayer(is, "audio/wav");
	p.realize();
	// get volume control for player and set volume to max
	VolumeControl vc = (VolumeControl) p.getControl("VolumeControl");
	if(vc != null) {
		vc.setLevel(100);
		vc.setMute(false);
	}
	// the player can start with the smallest latency
	p.prefetch();
	p.start();
} catch(IOException ioe) {
} catch(MediaException me) {
}

Note: the following code works in Prototype_2_0_S60_MIDP_Emulator, but not in the 6682 handset.

	// Player p = Manager.createPlayer("/camera.wav");

Or, is there a way to cause the camera's shutter sound to play?

Nokia 6682, J2ME.

In case of Symbain C++ Z:\\system\\sounds\\digital\\Camcordercapture.wav is available for Snap Sound(For Nokia 6630).

May be similar sound file you have to get and play at the time of taking Snap.

Hi,
if u r playing a sound file from .jar,u have to specify the resource folder along with the sound file.that is the get resource as stream will have the parameters(res/camera.wav).

Hello again Soku, thank you for your response.

I still cannot play this sound.

To satisfy your suggestion, I created a new "res" folder at the root level in my Eclipse development project. I moved the sound file from the root level into the res folder. Accessing the file as "/res/camera.wav" instead of "/camera.wav" produces the same result... no sound. No exceptions are thrown and the 'InputStream is' is non-null. I now also verify that 'Player p' and 'VolumeControl vc' are non-null. I am certain that the file is found because a particular exception is thrown when I intentionally misspell the path. All of this testing is done with same results in the 6682 handset as well as with the emulator.

- Sincerely, David

Problem is resolved.
Scope of Player object must persist throughout duration of play and start() is not blocking.
Fixed by declaring InputStream and Player at a higher level instead of within function.

Added benefit is realize(),prefetch(), which shortens setup and allows quick start() before data capture without appreciable delay after user presses shutter button.
