Hi everyone,
This is my first post. I just bought this software a few days ago and I am hooked!! I am a self taught VB 6.0 programmer and have been doing it for more than 10 years as a hobby. Needless to say Basic4Android has me pretty excited.
Now on to my question. I am converting a game called "code cracker" that I wrote in 2001. It basically brings Mastermind into the 21st century. It uses a keypad and a 4 digit seven-segment display instead of the colored balls. A 4 digit random code is chosen, then the player has to decipher it by entering guesses into the code panel. Each guess is logged into a "Data Recorder" which is another Activity in the app. The recorder logs each guess and gives a code analysis using lights. (which are visible from the keypad screen.) It keeps all entries in sequence and their light analysis during the game.
Green: Means a correct digit in a correct location
Yellow: Means a correct digit but not in the correct location
Red: Means a digit is not present in the code.
You use the data recorder and some reasoning skills to break the code in a set number of attempts.
Now onto the Question:
I use standard buttons for the keypad and my own sounds for the keypress. When "Audible Selection" is turned on in the phone sound settings, both sounds play. I want to be able to disable the phones audible selection sounds while my game is active. Otherwise if a user has audible selection turned off he'll hear nothing if I can't use my own sounds.
Is this possible? The game is about 75% finished, the double sounds are my last real hurdle.
