How to play audio file as soon as screen is loaded

[inglesuniversal]

Hi, is there a way to play a local bundled audio file as soon as the component is loaded or rendered?

similar to on html

So that it is played as an intro sound without any required interaction from the user.

Thanks

You just need to update the componentDidMount event to load the file and play it.

componentDidMount() {
  (async () => {
    await Audio.setAudioModeAsync({
      allowsRecordingIOS: false,
      interruptionModeIOS: Audio.INTERRUPTION_MODE_IOS_DO_NOT_MIX,
      playsInSilentModeIOS: true,
      shouldDuckAndroid: true,
      interruptionModeAndroid: Audio.INTERRUPTION_MODE_ANDROID_DO_NOT_MIX,
    });
    await this._updatePlaybackInstanceForIndex(playing);
    this._onPlayPausePressed();
    
  })();  
  (async () => {
    await Font.loadAsync({
      'cutive-mono-regular': require('./assets/fonts/CutiveMono-Regular.ttf'),
    });
    this.setState({ fontLoaded: true });
  })();
}

I changed it but it says "Can't find variable:playing"

Hey, late follow-up here but I suggest going through the Audio documentation to see the best way of doing this
