Unloading Sounds

The app works, but to be a good citizen you should clean up your SoundPool by calling SoundPool.release() when you are done with it (Listing 20.18).

Listing 20.18  Releasing your SoundPool (BeatBox.kt) 

class BeatBox(private val assets: AssetManager) {
    ...
    fun play(sound: Sound) {
        ...
    }

    fun release() {
        soundPool.release()
    }

    private fun loadSounds(): List<Sound> {
        ...
    }
    ...
}

Then, add a matching BeatBox.release() function in MainActivity (Listing 20.19).

Listing 20.19  Releasing your BeatBox (MainActivity.kt) 

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    private lateinit var beatBox: BeatBox

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        ...
    }

    override fun onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy()
        beatBox.release()
    }
    ...
}

Run your app again to make sure it works correctly with your new release() function. If you play a long sound and rotate the screen or hit the Back button, you should now hear the sound stop.
