Play wav file of users choice when an action is performed..

[BruenorBH]

I am trying to add audio to a break clock and I have been trying to figure it out.. I want the user to select the audio file (wav or midi) when clicking the audio button then when the action happens (like an alarm) the audio file plays once.

Here is my code:

AudioClip song;
File fileName = null;

private AudioButtonHandler abHandler;

JButton cmdAudio = new JButton("Audio");
abHandler = new AudioButtonHandler();
cmdAudio.addActionListener(abHandler);
panel.add(cmdAudio);

public class AudioButtonHandler implements ActionListener
{
  {
    JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
    int result = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
    if (result == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION && result == JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY)
    {
      fileName = fc.getSelectedFile();
    }
  }
}

public class Sound
{
  private URL songPath;
  
  Sound(File fileName)
  {
    try
    {
      songPath = fileName.toURL();
      song = AppletnewAudioClip(songPath);
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
    }
  }
}

also I was using song.play(); as the call but it made the clock stop after activating the pop-up message..

I asssume that your problem is that the clock stops.

To do two things at the same time, use threads.

Put the song.play() code on its own thread.

But the other issue is will this code save the path and file of the selected song then play it?

Yes, it could do that.
