How To Make a Soundboard App (Star Wars theme) – Ep 03 Play Sounds

[ad_1]
Build a Custom Star Wars Soundboard App
Lesson 3
In this series, I’ll show you guys how to build a soundboard app that you can customize with whatever sounds you want!

In this lesson, add AVFoundation framework and set up our AVAudioPlayer objects to play our Star Wars sounds! We also hook up a tap handler method to the buttons on the Storyboard so that it plays the sounds when tapped.

Warning:
It’s going to be a little challenging for those who are completely new to iPhone app development so I recommend that you watch my “How To Make An iPhone App With No Programming Experience” series of videos first. That playlist is 17 lessons long but it’ll give you the foundation and explain the terminology and object oriented programming concepts that I’m going to be using in the building of this Shopping App.

That playlist can be found on my site here:

    Very nice, got everything working, great tutorial. The only thing is when you press a sound button and another sound is still playing they are mixed together. How do you set a sound to auto stop playing when you press another sound button?

    Here's what I put because the NSURL wasn't working :
    let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: Bundle.main.path(forResource: sound, ofType: "wav")!)
    and the sounds are playing perfectly

    thank you so much for the tutorial. It's working like a charm.
    Does anyone have any idea on how to add a pause button to stop the sounds before they're over?

    For those of you using Swift 3.0, this is what I did to make NSURL work:

    let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: Bundle.main.path(forResource: sound, ofType: "wav")!);
    let audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: url as URL);

    Nice video Chris, just a quick update:

    This is the actual "Bundle" code for Xcode 3:

    let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: Bundle.main.path(forResource: sound, ofType: "wav")!)

    let audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: url as URL)

    I get stuck when I get to the "do/catch" bit. It doesn't recognise 'catch' – ie. it isn't purple. Just black and I get an error "Braced block of statements in an unused closure". Is this because you're using the beta version of Xcode and I'm not?
