Playing multiple clips the same time android studio - use threads?

Im creating an app in android studio where I want 10 clips to be played at the same time side by side. Im having some problems with some lags already at three clips and I wounder if Im better off using threads? In that case how?
Any hint would be very much apreciated
Here is my code so far. I know it is not very efficient and I am better off using an array of a player object for example but Im just testing so far:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements TextureView.SurfaceTextureListener {
private MediaPlayer mp1, mp2, mp3;
private TextureView tv1, tv2, tv3;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tv1 = findViewById(R.id.textureView1);
tv2 = findViewById(R.id.textureView2);
tv3 = findViewById(R.id.textureView3);
tv1.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
tv2.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
tv3.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceTextureAvailable(SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture, int width, int height) {
Surface surface = new Surface(surfaceTexture);
mp1 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a7);
mp1.setSurface(surface);
// mp1.prepareAsync(); //
mp1.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp1) {
mp1.start();
}
});
Surface surface2 = new Surface(surfaceTexture);
mp2 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a9);
mp2.setSurface(surface2);
// mp1.prepareAsync(); //
mp2.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp2) {
mp2.start();
}
});
Surface surface3 = new Surface(surfaceTexture);
mp3 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a10);
mp3.setSurface(surface3);
// mp1.prepareAsync(); //
mp3.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp3) {
mp3.start();
}
});
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceTextureSizeChanged(SurfaceTexture surface, int width, int height) {
}
#Override
public boolean onSurfaceTextureDestroyed(SurfaceTexture surface) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceTextureUpdated(SurfaceTexture surface) {
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
if (mp1 != null && mp1.isPlaying()) {
mp1.pause();
}
super.onPause();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
if (mp1 != null) {
mp1.start();
}
super.onResume();
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
if (mp1 != null) {
mp1.stop();
mp1.release();
mp1 = null;
}
super.onDestroy();
}
}

You should play media in a different non-ui thread. like this:-
public class MediaService extends Service {
private MediaPlayer mp1, mp2, mp3;
private static final String ACTION_START = TAG + ".ACTION_START";
private IBinder mBinder = new MyBinder();
private MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener mMediaPrepared = new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
Log.d(TAG, "MediaPlayer.onPrepared");
onCommandPlay(mp);
}
};
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
Log.v(TAG, "onBind");
return mBinder;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
m1 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a1);
m2 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a2);
m3 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a9);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (m1 != null) m1 .release();
if (m2 != null) m2 .release();
if (m3 != null) m3 .release();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
final String action = intent.getAction();
Log.d(TAG, "onStartCommand: " + intent.getAction());
if (ACTION_START.equals(action)) {
onCommandStart();
return START_STICKY;
}
stopSelf();
return Service.START_STICKY_COMPATIBILITY;
}
/**
* Performs actions related to media player when Service onStartCommand method is called
*
*/
private void onCommandStart() {
// Create Notifications with remote views
mNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this).setTicker("Media Service started...")
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setContent(collapsed)
.setAutoCancel(false)
.setOngoing(true)
.build();
startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, mNotification);
startPlaying();
}
private void onCommandPlay(MediaPlayer mp) {
try {
mp.start();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "onCommandPlay", e);
}
}
/**
* Start playing the provided media item
*
*/
private void startPlaying() {
mCurrent = item;
try {
mp1.reset();
mp1.setOnPreparedListener(mMediaPrepared);
mp2.reset();
mp2.setOnPreparedListener(mMediaPrepared);
mp3.reset();
mp3.setOnPreparedListener(mMediaPrepared);
AssetFileDescriptor afd1 = getResources().openRawResourceFd(getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.a9););
AssetFileDescriptor afd2 = getResources().openRawResourceFd(getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.a10););
AssetFileDescriptor afd3 = getResources().openRawResourceFd(getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.a8););
mp1.setDataSource(afd1 .getFileDescriptor(), afd1 .getStartOffset(), afd1.getLength());
mp2.setDataSource(afd2 .getFileDescriptor(), afd2 .getStartOffset(), afd2 .getLength());
mp3.setDataSource(afd3 .getFileDescriptor(), afd3 .getStartOffset(), afd3 .getLength());
mp1.prepareAsync();
mp2.prepareAsync();
mp3.prepareAsync();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "startPlaying", e);
}
}
public class MyBinder extends Binder {
public MediaService getService() {
return MediaService.this;
}
}
}
then start the service from Activity like this:
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MediaService.class);
intent.setAction(ACTION_START);
startServie(intent);
You should also handle different media playing use-cases. You can refer this link for more.

Data transfer between the Activities of Android

I have problem I create small application with first get sms code if length it is greater than six go to activity B. Activity B show scan QR Code. Scan QR Code use library google play services vision to scan QR Code. Get value with barcode and make mix with sms code if value is correct go to Activity C if not go to activity A. My question how get value sms code and barcode value and where make ctrytography.

I think you need to get into Intents:
https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-filters.html
sending:
String text = "some text here";
Intent i = new Intent(this, ActivityB.class);
i.putExtra("interesting_text", text);
startActivity(i);
receiving:
Intent intent = getIntent();
String text = intent.getExtras().getString("interesting_text");

How to keep Flashlight ON while press on home button?

I am developing a very simple flashlight application, while I have successfully achieved what I was looking for, I would like to perform it that way I want it to. Currently my flashlight remains on while my activity is active, as soon as I hit the home button to minimize the activity flashlight turns off.

Google Maps Fragment replacing current fragment

Background:
Create an app that will center on the user's location and allow for them to text their location to contacts. To do this, we need a simple credential check and server address to test on in the preferences.
Issue:
Whenever the user navigates from the original map fragment that shows their location with a marker, the proper map type (hybrid), etc. to another fragment and then wants to return to the map fragment, it defaults to LatLng 0,0 and a generic map (no indication of user location for example).
My initial thought was to try and save the state of the map fragment upon switching to another fragment and reload that when popping the other fragment from the stack. However I then thought it might be simpler to just replace the current fragment in the MainActivity whenever I need to switch. So on opening the app, MainActivity creates a new MapFragment then replaces it with a Preferences Fragment and when 'saving' creates a new MapFragment to replace the current fragment with. Thought this might fix my problem as on initial load the map functions like I want.
The code for MFragment that contains the Map Fragment:
public class MFragment extends Fragment implements android.location.LocationListener,
GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener{
private final static int CONNECTION_FAILURE_RESOLUTION_REQUEST = 9000;

And an example of replacing the Fragment from another Fragment (From PrefsFragment to MFragment):
register = (Button) v.findViewById(R.id.register);
save.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
saveToPreferences(v);
((MainActivity)getActivity()).replaceFragment();
}
});
register.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
getActivity().getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(android.R.id.content, new RegFragment())
.commit();
}
});
return v;
}
the save button calls a method in MainActivity to replace the current fragment with a MapFragment as an attempted work-around but doesn't function like I was hoping and using the similar method for the register button using FragmentManager doesn't fix the Map issue either.
Any help is appreciated.

Don't put a fragment inside another fragment unless you really need to. If you choose to do so, you may not use the FragmentManager of the Activity like you do. Instead you must use the child fragment manager of the container fragment to create the fragment transaction that will insert the child fragment by calling getChildFragmentManager().
This is supported since API level 17 (Android 4.2) or using the most recent Android Support Library. I suggest you to always use the support library by default.

Running Bluetooth as background service not working properly
