Objective-C How to play a sound when a cell's button is tapped?

Question

I have a button on each cell and while the button is tapped I want to play different audio file from array for each cell.

I don't know how to implement an array of sounds/audio files for my table view cells.

I have a button outlet and action on my UITableViewCell. But I am not sure how to initialise my AVaudioplayer in tableview.m specifically in:

 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell22";

Below I've inserted an image of the project I want to achieve. image1

You can try like this:

Import AVFoundation.framework
Place this code in didSelectRowAtIndexPath method

NSString *soundPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"your sound name" ofType:@"mp3"];

NSURL *soundUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundPath];

AVAudioPlayer *player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundUrl error:nil]; [player play];

Note: Add your audio files to project and then take the names into one array. Then you can use your audio names based on indexPath.

If you want to play sound on button click which is in tableViewCell then add tag as indexPath to that button and add action to button like this in cellForRowAtIndexPath method

button.tag = indexPath.row;
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

and paste the same code in button action. but use sender.tag instead of indexPath.row

-(void)buttonPressed:(UIButton *)sender
{
    NSString *soundName = [yourArray objectAtIndex:sender.tag];

    NSString *soundPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:soundName ofType:@"mp3"];

    NSURL *soundUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundPath];

    AVAudioPlayer *player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundUrl error:nil]; [player play];
}

Thank you very much for your code. I am trying to assign sounds to the button of each cell through: if ([_detailPhrases isEqualToString:@"Basics"]) { } Can I implement code above within such If statement and with the connection to the button? — didayo, Apr 14 '17 at 10:53

check now i updated code :its playing sound

1.create property in .h or .m file for ur AVAudioPlayer . like

@property (strong, nonatomic) AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;

declare <AVAudioPlayerDelegate> in .m file and

@synthesize audioPlayer;

3.implement this code in :

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

 yourSoundArray=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"sss",@"sss",@"sss",@"sss",@"sss",@"sss", nil];//dont include formate type


   NSString *audioPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: [yourSoundArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] ofType:@"mp3"];
                    NSLog(@"%@",audioPath);

                    NSURL *audioURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:audioPath];

                    NSError *audioError = [[NSError alloc] init];
                    audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:audioURL error:&audioError];
                    audioPlayer.delegate=self;

                 if (!audioError) {
                        NSLog(@"playing!");
                        audioPlayer play];
                  }
                    else {
                          NSLog(@"Error!");
                    }

4.

-(void)audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:(AVAudioPlayer *)player successfully:(BOOL)flag
{
    NSLog(@"%d",playing the audio);
}

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

UITableViewCell *selectedCell=[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSLog(@"%@",selectedCell.textLabel.text);
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer101;

if ([_detailPhrases isEqualToString:@"Basics"]){


NSArray *soundArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"cellTapSound", @"Second", nil];

NSString *audioPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: [soundArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] ofType:@".mp3"];
NSURL *audioURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:audioPath];
NSError *audioError = [[NSError alloc] init];
audioPlayer101 = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:audioURL error:&audioError];

if (!audioError) {
    [audioPlayer101 play];
    NSLog(@"playing!");
}
else {
    NSLog(@"Error!");
