im trying to vibrate device and repeat this pattern for 3 times so in total 6x vibrations. Im using code bellow but my device keeps vibrating infinitely. How to stop vibrating after those 3 repeats?
private void deviceVibration (){
long[] pattern = {0, 2000, 1000, 2000,1000};
vibrator.vibrate(pattern,3);
}
According to the Vibrator Documentation
public void vibrate (long[] pattern, int repeat)
This long[] pattern is an array of longs of times for which to turn the vibrator on or off.
This int repeat is the index into pattern at which to repeat, or -1 if you don't want to repeat.
So if you put the 3 it will repeat the 3 index position of your pattern.
long[] pattern = {0, 2000, 1000, 2000,1000}; <-- 2000 will be repeated
So the pattern is ok, you need to remove one to just vibrate three times and then just change your 3 for -1 to don't repeat.
you can try this
long[] pattern = {0, 2000, 1000, 2000,1000};
vibrator.vibrate(pattern, -1);
-1 for to vibrate only as mentioned in the pattern.
Your code should like this
long[] pattern = {0, 2000, 1000, 2000,1000, 2000,1000};
vibrator.vibrate(pattern, -1);
As Skizo-ozᴉʞS said accept his answer it is more perfect
