I want to toggle a sound on and off across my react native expo app, however it's resulting sound overlapping when I click multiple times on and off & I am unsure if I need to set state on audio? I couldn't seem to find any good examples here - https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/av/ unsure what I am doing wrong, newbie to RN.
As you can see this is a headerbutton which has to work across the whole app not just one screen.
Here is my snack - https://snack.expo.io/@roshambo/sound-toggle-on-and-off
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { HeaderButton } from "react-navigation-header-buttons";
import { Ionicons } from "@expo/vector-icons";
import { Audio } from "expo-av";
const CustomHeaderButton = props => {
const [soundIcon, setSoundIcon] = useState(false);
const soundObject = new Audio.Sound();
(async () => {
await soundObject.loadAsync(require("../assets/bglaughs.mp3"), {
volume: 0.25,
isLooping: true,
shouldPlay: true,
isMuted: true
});
})();
const toggleSound = () => {
setSoundIcon(prevState => !prevState);
soundObject.setOnPlaybackStatusUpdate(this._onPlaybackStatusUpdate);
};
_onPlaybackStatusUpdate = playbackStatus => {
if (playbackStatus.isMuted) {
playSound();
} else {
stopSound();
}
};
const stopSound = async () => {
try {
await soundObject.stopAsync();
} catch (error) {
console.log("sound couldn't pause");
}
};
const playSound = async () => {
try {
await soundObject.setIsMutedAsync(false);
await soundObject.playAsync();
} catch (error) {
console.log("sound couldn't play");
}
};
return (
<HeaderButton
{...props}
IconComponent={Ionicons}
iconSize={23}
iconName={soundIcon ? "ios-volume-high" : "ios-volume-off"}
onPress={toggleSound}
/>
);
};
export default CustomHeaderButton;
UPDATE:
Here is my working code based off Oleg's answer as well as my implementation on redux.
Component
import React from "react";
import { HeaderButton } from "react-navigation-header-buttons";
import { useDispatch, useSelector } from "react-redux";
import * as soundActions from "../store/actions/sound-action";
import { Ionicons } from "@expo/vector-icons";
const CustomHeaderButton = props => {
const sound = useSelector(state => state.sound.soundState);
const dispatch = useDispatch();
return (
<HeaderButton
{...props}
IconComponent={Ionicons}
iconSize={23}
iconName={sound === "playing" ? "ios-volume-high" : "ios-volume-off"}
onPress={() => {
dispatch(soundActions.toggleSound(sound));
}}
/>
);
};
export default CustomHeaderButton;
Reducer
import { TOGGLE_SOUND } from "../actions/sound-action";
import { Audio } from "expo-av";
const initialState = {
soundState: "nosound"
};
export default (state = initialState, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case TOGGLE_SOUND:
if (state.soundState === "nosound") {
(async () => {
const { sound } = await Audio.Sound.createAsync(
require("../../assets/bglaughs.mp3"),
{
shouldPlay: true,
volume: 0.25,
isLooping: true
}
);
this.sound = sound;
})();
return {
...state,
soundState: "playing"
};
} else if (state.soundState === "playing") {
(async () => {
if (this.sound !== null) {
await this.sound.pauseAsync();
}
})();
return { ...state, soundState: "donepause" };
} else if (state.soundState === "donepause") {
(async () => {
await this.sound.playAsync();
})();
return { soundState: "playing" };
}
}
return state;
};
I created snack answer for your question: You have to pay attention to new way create sound and flag loop set to false.
