This is a very useful piece of code, playing simple sound effect on your app.

first open, res/raw/ and save your sound file inside the raw folder.

next you need to import the media class in your MainActivity.

import android.media.MediaPlayer;

now you can load your sound effect into your activity.

car_alarm = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.car_alarm);

you may set loop, to have your effect play end to end.

car_alarm.setLooping(true);

finally you can have your sound played by the media class.

car_alarm.isPlaying();

use stop and then release once you no longer need it.

car_alarm.stop(); 

car_alarm.release();

It is said to be good practice to destroy your object, for memory reasons, this is how you do so.

@Overrideprotected void onDestroy()
{
    // stop the sounds    if(car_alarm.isPlaying()) car_alarm.stop(); car_alarm.release();
    super.onDestroy();
}

place above code inside your MainActivity class.
