Thanks Peter for your answer. I did not know the book.

Hello Craig,

My question is about the certificate:

does this book cover the whole matters of the certificate? Could be used as a guide to take the exam  with no taking the Pivotal course ?

does it worth get the certification?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Under "Understanding Views"

The text says: "... Both of these methods can throw a checked IOException, such as when the view class type is unsupported."  

But public static <V extends FileAttributeView> V getFileAttributeView(Path path, Class<V> type, LinkOption... options) does not throw any IOException.

Regars,

Hi!

I am sure it will be a great book and I hope there will be lots of test-like questions to practice!

Congrats to Sierra, Bates and Robson!

great and very very instructive answer!! I learnt a lot on your explanation. Thanks a lot John Damien Smith!!

PD: Indeed I had already used AudioClip.

Thanks again!

Great post and great book! Thanks Knute Snortum.

For the time being I am just invertigating how to play sounds and still not sure whethrt to use Clip.loop() or Mediaplayer.play(). It's not about JavaFX.

I also consider using "aplay" system call cause so far this approach is working best on Linux, where as I said above, two instanciations of MediaPlayer give sometimes MediaException.

In anycase, I'll consider to buy the book you recommend me. It looks quite interesting.

Thanks again.

for(int i=0;i<1000000;i++) { System.out.println(i); } // delay what about Thread.sleep(1000); // one second

That may not be the best way of getting a delay in JavaFX, though.

Thread.sleep() has the same effect. Both sounds at a time.

One more question:

Here is the second piece of code:

import java.io.File; import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.media.Media; import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class Clip extends Application {        @Override        public void start(Stage primaryStage) {            Media hit = new Media(new File("beep.wav").toURI().toString());            MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(hit);            Media hit2 = new Media(new File("beep2.wav").toURI().toString());            MediaPlayer player2 = new MediaPlayer(hit2);            player.play();            for(int i=0;i<1000000;i++) { System.out.println(i); } // delay             player2.play();                    }        public static void main(String[] args) {             launch(args);        }    }

In spite of the delay, both sounds are being played in parallel. Why? How to make a real "gap"?

By the way... under Windows everything runs conveniently, but under RHEL,  when creating            MediaPlayer player2 = new MediaPlayer(hit2); looks like randomly I get MediaException in init(). Enybody knows??

Thanks in advance.

That's just what I needed! Thanks you Stephan van Hulst!

I'll give it a try.
Thanks!

I have also added Thread.sleep() with a time greater than the beep duration as parameter in between but only one os played.

I have also added Thread.sleep() with a time greater Thanksgiving the Jeep durstion in between but only one os played.

Hi!

I expect for the sound todo.be played twice because player.play() is called two times. Ten... why is sounding once?

BR,

Hi!

I have a question regarding this code snippet:

import java.io.File; import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.media.Media; import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class Clip extends Application {        @Override        public void start(Stage primaryStage) {            Media hit = new Media(new File("beep.wav").toURI().toString());            MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(hit);            player.play();            player.play();        }        public static void main(String[] args) {             launch(args);        }    }


My question is why the sound is played only once instead of twice?

Other way... how to make the audio file to sound two times in a row?

Thanks in advance!!

You are right! Understood now!!

Thank you so much again, Rob.
