Pillow Version 1.1

After much sweat, hair-pulling, and threats on my laptop's life, I have hashed out the first update to my Pillow Android application. The main goal was to implement the system for smooth looping audio playback (meaning no cuts or blips when the user rotates the phone or presses buttons). Being new to Android development—and, indeed, Java programming in general—I spent the better portion of my Saturday mucking about on various reference websites and wallowing in misunderstood code examples. My method was as follows:

1. Search Google for keywords relating to the subject (Android, Service, Context, Intent, etc.)
2. Locate a promising link and read the material
3. Copy code snippets and hack, paste, cut, and spew the bits all over my project
4. Test the changes
5. Wish I hadn't made such drastic alterations as I attempt to reverse them
6. Repeat

You can imagine, I'm sure, how frustrating this all can be to a programmer nascent to the language. I have only a dim perception of how most of it works, and the rest is trial and error.

At the end of the day, I had managed to add a menu whereon my one test clip can be toggled on and off. So far, it seems to loop smoothly and run stably. I'm crossing my fingers.
