I am using the following code to play a sound file using the java sound API.
Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
AudioInputStream inputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(stream);
clip.open(inputStream);
clip.start();
The method call to the Clip.start() method returns immediately, and the system playbacks the sound file in a background thread. I want my method to pause until the playback has completed.
Is there any nice way to do it?
EDIT: For everyone interested in my final solution, based on the answer from Uri, I used the code above:
private final BlockingQueue<URL> queue = new ArrayBlockingQueue<URL>(1);
public void playSoundStream(InputStream stream) {
Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
AudioInputStream inputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(stream);
clip.open(inputStream);
clip.start();
LineListener listener = new LineListener() {
public void update(LineEvent event) {
if (event.getType() != Type.STOP) {
return;
}
try {
queue.take();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
//ignore this
}
}
};
clip.addLineListener(listener );
}
