check if audio is playing
Janne February 5th, 2020

Hi,
how I can check if audio is playing?

Example:

wade.app.musicVar = wade.playAudio('music.ogg', true);
// I need to know if this variable playing: wade.app.musicVar



Because if its not playing and I try to stop it with iPad or iPhone:
wade.stopAudio(wade.app.musicVar);
--> program/game will crash!
It works fine with Android and PC (without check if playing first), but iPhone need to audio playing first if try to stop it.

Hi Janne

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I had no idea that that would cause a crash on iPhone and iPad. I will add a fix for the next release.

In the meantime I have a workaround for you. Not ideal, but it should work for the time being. When you call wade.playAudio, you can pass it a callback:

wade.playAudio(file, looping, callback)

The callback is called when the sound is finished playing. So you can keep track of your music state (whether it's playing or not), by doing something like this:

wade.app.musicPlaying = true;
wade.app.musicVar = wade.playAudio('music.ogg', false, function() {
    wade.app.musicPlaying = false;
});

// and some time later...

if (wade.app.musicPlaying) {
    wade.stopAudio(wade.app.musicVar)
};

I hope that helps
