Need guidance on making seek slider control audio.

[daweakling]

So I am working on a project in Android Studio (Java) making an app with a simple slider bar that would play different sound files at various variables of the slider bar. For example if the slider bar = 0 , then it would play audio 0; if the slider bar = 1, then it would play audio 1. I was tinkering around and I don't know of an efficient way of implementing this. 

 

I made a slider bar with an "on change" method. Inside the "on change" method I made a big loop, which had a BUNCH of if statements. Those if statement would read the slider bar value and run the statement if they matched. Each if statement had separate code to run the appropriate audio file. 

 

Some programmers are probably face palming so hard when reading this but I am a noob with programming. There has to be an easier and more efficient way. I am gladly open to all opinions and comments.

As far as it is not android specific question then I think that array of strings with file names and the slider value would be an index of the array, just make sure to check if the value is not out of array's bounds. Then you get a file name from the array by index (value of slider) and play it, so no ifs.
