Build Your Own Relaxation Audio App
summary
A hands‑on workshop that builds a simple Android relaxation app using MediaPlayer to loop background music, SoundPool to play randomized layered “airport‑like” transfer sounds with spatialization, and ValueAnimator to animate a breathing gradient and cloud scaling. Code is developed in Android Studio 3.6+ and requires a device or emulator and the provided project files; the demo focuses on the working UI/audio effects and deliberately skips app architecture and deep audio internals.
