iOS AVAudioPlayer - how to show stop-button?

[Danneman101]

How do you display controls for the AVAudioPlayer. I just want the stop-button at the bottom of the screen, but my code displays no controls at all. Ive been googling like a maniac for this, but nothing.

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:soundPathName ofType:@"mp3"];   
AVAudioPlayer *theAudio=[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];   
theAudio.delegate = self;   
[theAudio play];

I believe you need to provide your own controls and then have them call AVAudioPlayer's playback control methods. This is all described in more detail in the AVAudioPlayer Class Reference.

Add a button to your view and and an IBAction to your viewController, connect them, and then call [theAudio stop] in your action method.

Ok, thanks. Theyll probably add an interface in some comming version, I guess.

Doubtful. It's meant more as an audio engine than a UI interface. Hence, the lack of the word 'Controller' in the class name. If they want to add an interface component, they will probably add a new AVAudioPlayerController class to the API.

Super easy:

[I]In .h[/I]
- (IBAction)stopMusic;

[I]In .m[/I]
- (IBAction)stopMusic {
   [theAudio stop];
}

Connect the button to the stopMusic action method in Interface Builder.
