Play .wav files on Android phone

I need to complete an app on an Android phone that plays back four sound files when four separate buttons are pressed.

The trouble I have is that the sound files are .wav files. They are also stereo files. I need to play them on the Android phone uncompressed and in stereo.

My understanding is that .wav can not be played on Android phones as it is uncompressed and that I will need to convert the file format but I have not had any luck that way.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

From Android 4.0.1 Android supports Wave (.wav) formats, you can access 8bit or 16 bit audio files in .wav format

Android certainly can open/play WAV files.

Use android.media.MediaPlayer to play them, as you'd do for mp3 or other format.
