Not working on Android | number of channels is -1

Sounds are working on iOS using the below code but not working on Android. I have notification.wav file in the android/app/src/main/res/raw directory. Help please.

const s = new Sound('notification.wav', Sound.MAIN_BUNDLE, (e) => {
      if (e) {
        console.log('error', e);
        return;
      }
      console.log('sound: duration in seconds: ' + s.getDuration() + 'number of channels: ' + s.getNumberOfChannels());
      s.play(() => s.release());
    });

On log I am getting this but no sound played. And the number of channels is -1

sound: duration in seconds: 0.542number of channels: -1

solved… just put “music.play()” out of constructor error part, like this.

         // Load the sound file
         const music = new Sound('nargiz_vdvoyom.mp3', Sound.MAIN_BUNDLE, (error) => {
		if (error) {
			console.log('failed to load the sound', error);
			return;
		}
		// loaded successfully, play			
		music.play((success) => {
			if (success) {
				console.log('successfully finished playing');
			} else {
				console.log('playback failed due to audio decoding errors');
			}
		});
	});

new Sound() uses android.media.MediaPlayer.prepareAsync(). So new Sound() returns immediately and it could have been not prepared completely. You could try to add a timeout, but it’s most save to start playing from the onError callback, I think. (and the name onError is a bit confusing)

This must be added to the documentation. I’ll submit a PR next week.
