Linking is not working, it doesnt play without using metro and manual installing notes needs to update

[osh91]

:beetle: Description

There are three things that need to update.

react-native link doesn't work. It only linked to settings.gradle but the rest of it didn't work. Instead, I went to read Manual Installation Notes: https://github.com/zmxv/react-native-sound/wiki/Installation and found out that it didn't work it too.

The text about Mainapplication.java. Before it was ArrayList but now it is a List and I am not not really sure it should be like this....

  @Override
                protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
                    @SuppressWarnings("UnnecessaryLocalVariable")
                    List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
                    // Packages that cannot be autolinked yet can be added manually here, for example:
                    // packages.add(new MyReactNativePackage());
                     packages.add(new RNSoundPackage()); // <--- is this correct?!
                    return packages;
                }

In this way React Native crash because it doesn't like to

If I am doing without manual linking.

 Sound.setCategory('Playback');
const ding = new Sound(require("../../assets/music-ui/notify.mp3"), Sound.MAIN_BUNDLE, error => console.log(error + "something went wrong"));

 const App = () => {

  useEffect(() => {
    // ding.setVolume(1);
    // return () => {
      ding.release();
    // };
  }, []);

  const playPause = () => {
    ding.play(success => {
      if (success) {
        console.log('successfully finished playing');
      } else {
        console.log('playback failed due to audio decoding errors');
      }
    });
  };

It works but if I stop running metro and using the app it doesn't play anything. I am guessing because it didn't link properly. I can't find folder raw where the sound it (android/src/main/res/) nor anywhere

• [ ] iOS
• [x] Android
• [ ] Windows

Are you using...

• [x ] React Native CLI (e.g. react-native run-android)
• [ ] Expo
• [ ] Other: (please specify)

Which versions are you using?

• React Native Sound: ^0.11.1
• React Native: 17.0.2
• iOS:
• Android: 11
• Windows:

Does the problem occur on...

• [ ] Simulator
• [x] Device

If your problem is happening on a device, which device?

• Device: It works playing sound when metro/ node.js is on. But working offline is not working. Must be the linking problem

I think if you specify full path - you should use '' instead of Sound.MAIN_BUNDLE.
