Android Java - SoundPool sounds stop playing for some reason

Well , I use SoundPool for onClick on ImageView sounds and some of them starts another Activity. Like this :

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    switch (v.getId()){
    case R.id.main_menue_status:{
button_click.play(button_clickID, 1,1, 0, 0, 1); //this is SoundPoool's play
    Intent intent=new Intent(context,MainMenueActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
        finish();
    }

other activities has same ImageViews(actually, buttons) to navigate through the app. And all the time I use finish(); to prevent creating millions of copies of activities. So after about 30 SoundPool's plays sound stops playing at all.

My guess is that's because I finish() Activity before sound complete it's playback so somehow system stop playing any SoundPool at all.

Any advice?

The "status: -12", I believe, is an Out of Memory error. Also, calling finish() in an Activity is not a guarantee that the Activity will immediately finish and release resources.

Since you have several Activities and several SoundPools, I would recommend creating the SoundPool and loading your sound resources in the Activity's onResume() method, and then unloading the resources and releasing the SoundPool in the onPause() method.
