Summary

In this chapter, we looked closely at SoundPool, including how we can detect which version of Android the player has and varied our code accordingly. Finally, we used all of this knowledge to complete the Sound Demo app.

In the next chapter, we will learn about how to make our apps work with multiple different layouts.
