You definitely have to guarantee that any AudioTrack instances are done playing (stopped) AND released BEFORE you call finish(). Otherwise you will get Null exceptions on your app closing, just as you found.
So basically if you have another thread you have to put some kind of flag that waits for the AudioTrack to actually clear and release before your app exits. -niko On Sep 9, 11:33 am, OldSkoolMark <[email protected]> wrote: > I did a little more homework: > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3483182/activity-finish-method-wai...http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2590947/about-finish-in-android > > This makes me feel better about calling finish() and then > startActivity().
