Calling a Method in a Fragment

Question

I have a class that plays a sound when a button is clicked. I need to stop playing the sound in the onPause method but I dont know how to call the stop function of the class in the fragment.

In adapter I call Music(values).playButton() In a fragment I want to call Music().stop() to stop the sound, but this class requires parameters that are not in the fragment

How can I call this method in a fragment?

Class Music

class Music(var button: Button, val context: Context, val resources: Resources, val Id: Int, var buttonArray: MutableList<Button>, val mpArray: MutableList<MediaPlayer>) {

fun play() : MediaPlayer {
    if (buttonArray.size >= 2) {
        buttonArray.removeFirst()
    }

    if (mpArray.size >= 2) {
        mpArray.removeFirst()
    }

    mpArray.add(MediaPlayer.create(context, Id))
    buttonArray.add(button)

    if (mpArray.size == 1 && !mpArray[0].isPlaying) {
        mpArray[0].start()
        return mpArray[0]
    } else if (mpArray.size == 2 && buttonArray[0] == buttonArray[1]) {
        if (mpArray[0].isPlaying) {
            mpArray[0].pause()
            mpArray[0].reset()
            mpArray[0].release()
        } else if (!mpArray[1].isPlaying) {
            mpArray[1].start()
            return mpArray[1]
        }
    }

    if (mpArray.size == 2 && buttonArray[0] != buttonArray[1]) {
        if (mpArray[0].isPlaying) {
            mpArray[0].pause()
            mpArray[0].reset()
            mpArray[0].release()
            mpArray[1].start()
        } else if (!mpArray[0].isPlaying) {
            mpArray[1].start()
            return mpArray[1]
        }
    }
    return MediaPlayer.create(context, Id)
}

fun stop() {
    if (play().isPlaying) {
        play().stop()
        play().release()
    }
}

Adapter

class Adapters(private val cards: List<Card>, val resources: Resources, val context: Context, private val musicPlayerListener: MusicPlayerListener) : RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>() {

private var buttonArray = mutableListOf<Button>()
private var mpArray = mutableListOf<MediaPlayer>()
private lateinit var music: Music

fun playMusic() {
    musicPlayerListener.onMusicPlay(music.play())
}

override fun getItemViewType(position: Int): Int = when(cards[position]) {
    is Card.AudioButton -> 11
    else -> throw IllegalArgumentException("Error")
}

override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    return object : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(
        when(viewType) {
            11 -> LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.in_lesson_audio_button, parent, false)
            else -> throw IllegalArgumentException("Error")
        }) {
    }
}

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
    when(val card = cards[position]) {
        is Card.AudioButton -> {
            val button = holder.itemView.findViewById<Button>(R.id.in_lesson_audio_button)

            button.setOnClickListener {
                Music(button, context, resources, getAudioId(card.audioButton), buttonArray, mpArray).play()
            }
        }
    }
}

override fun getItemCount() = cards.size

private fun getAudioId(audioElement: String): Int = resources.getIdentifier(audioElement, "raw", context.packageName)

}

Fragment

class Fragment : Fragment(), MusicPlayerListener  {

private val args: DetailsFragmentArgs by navArgs()
var mMediaPlayer: MediaPlayer? = null


override fun onCreateView(
    inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
    savedInstanceState: Bundle?,
): View? {
    val binding = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, container, false)

    val recyclerView = binding.findViewById<RecyclerView>(R.id.list_view)
    recyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(context)
    recyclerView.adapter = Adapters(parseLesson(resources,R.xml.text), resources, requireContext() )

    return binding
}
override fun onPause() {
    super.onPause()
    mMediaPlayer?.stop()
}

override fun onMusicPlay(mediaPlayer: MediaPlayer) {
    mMediaPlayer = mediaPlayer
}

}

Answer 1

From the adapter when you call Music.play(), it will return an instance of MediaPlayer, you should send this back to fragment and keep it in fragment as a local variable. Then from fragment, use that instance of MediaPlayer to call stop() on it.

class ExampleAdapter(private val musicPlayerListener: MusicPlayerListener) {
    private lateinit var music: Music

    fun playMusic() {
        musicPlayerListener.onMusicPlay(music.play())
    }

}

class ExampleFragment : MusicPlayerListener {
    var mMediaPlayer: MediaPlayer? = null
   
    override fun onMusicPlay(mediaPlayer: MediaPlayer) {
        mMediaPlayer = mediaPlayer
    }

    override fun onPause() {
        super.onPause()
        mMediaPlayer?.stop()
    }

}

interface MusicPlayerListener {
    fun onMusicPlay(mediaPlayer: MediaPlayer)
}
