Adds sounds to Android App about robosats

[tarunsamanta2k20]

I'm interested to work on it. But I wanna know more about the issue.

Hey @tarunsamanta2k20 ,

Our mobile app (in /mobile) is a simple Webview wrapper of our web app. The index.html, main.js and static files (including the sounds) are bundled within our Android APK (in /mobile/html/Web.bundle). On our webapp, on the browser, sounds like this:

robosats/frontend/src/components/Notifications/index.tsx

Lines 34 to 39 in 5d5435e

	const audio = {
	chat: new Audio(`/static/assets/sounds/chat-open.mp3`),
	takerFound: new Audio(`/static/assets/sounds/taker-found.mp3`),
	ding: new Audio(`/static/assets/sounds/locked-invoice.mp3`),
	successful: new Audio(`/static/assets/sounds/successful.mp3`),
	};

And then

robosats/frontend/src/components/Notifications/index.tsx

Lines 213 to 215 in 5d5435e

	if (message.sound != null) {
	message.sound.play();
	}

It would be great to find a solution so the Audio works in both: web browser, and Webview (loading the local file). It is likely that sounds do not play in Webview simply because the path to the files is different when they have to be read locally from /mobile/html/Web.bundle (they would likely be file:///), we usually just use the condition window.NativeRobosats != undefined ? ... to have a different behavior when the webapp is running within the webview. This might be a straight forward 1 line fix, but maybe not the ideal solution. Instead, playing sounds and notifications from outside the webview (e.g., passing a message to the react-native wrapper by building new frontend/src/services/systemClient method) might be a more elegant solution that can be expanded into a join solution for this task and #619 . In fact, this will allow playing notification sounds even with the app in the background I think.

Let me know if you want to give it a try :D

@Reckless-Satoshi I want to give it a try, but wanna know in which interface sound is not working, a web browser or Android app?

[Reckless-Satoshi]

which interface sound is not working, a web browser or Android app?

Android App. I kept digging into it to be more clear and ended up fixing the sounds (commit f6601922b80ab339484b ). Given that the sound does now work on the Android app, I think it is better to focus on the notifications task #619 and close this issue. Would you like to take a look at that task? We do definitely need a hand with it! :D

Closing as sounds do now work (only if the app is open or recently open).
