Play foreground and background music using SoundPool and MediaPlayer

Merge the previous exercises "A simple exercise to play MIDI audio using MediaPlayer" and "Play audio resources using SoundPool", to implement a app to play audio using both MediaPlayer and SoundPool.



Copy midi and ogg sound file into res/raw folder.

Modify main.xml to have four buttons to control the playing of the sounds.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   >
<TextView 
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:text="@string/hello"
   />
<Button
   android:id="@+id/playmediaplayer" 
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:text="- PLAY MediaPlayer -"
   />
<Button
   android:id="@+id/pausemediaplayer" 
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:text="- PAUSE MediaPlayer -"
   />
<Button
   android:id="@+id/playsoundpool" 
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:text="- PLAY SoundPool -"
   />
<Button
   android:id="@+id/pausesoundpool" 
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:text="- PAUSE SoundPool -"
   />
</LinearLayout>
