I have added services to play music in background but after few minutes it's stop playing. So I have added Thread to start again while user remove the lock screen. And again music continue playing. But how we can continue play music in background without user interaction.
Here is my code,
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));
}
}
MyService:
public class MyService extends Service {
private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
String file_path = "https://...aac";
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(file_path);
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener(){
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.start();
}
});
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//Thread
new Thread(
new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
).start();
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
mediaPlayer.stop();
}
}

Im creating an app in android studio where I want 10 clips to be played at the same time side by side. Im having some problems with some lags already at three clips and I wounder if Im better off using threads? In that case how?
Any hint would be very much apreciated
Here is my code so far. I know it is not very efficient and I am better off using an array of a player object for example but Im just testing so far:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements TextureView.SurfaceTextureListener {
private MediaPlayer mp1, mp2, mp3;
private TextureView tv1, tv2, tv3;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tv1 = findViewById(R.id.textureView1);
tv2 = findViewById(R.id.textureView2);
tv3 = findViewById(R.id.textureView3);
tv1.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
tv2.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
tv3.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceTextureAvailable(SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture, int width, int height) {
Surface surface = new Surface(surfaceTexture);
mp1 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a7);
mp1.setSurface(surface);
// mp1.prepareAsync(); //
mp1.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp1) {
mp1.start();
}
});
Surface surface2 = new Surface(surfaceTexture);
mp2 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a9);
mp2.setSurface(surface2);
// mp1.prepareAsync(); //
mp2.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp2) {
mp2.start();
}
});
Surface surface3 = new Surface(surfaceTexture);
mp3 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a10);
mp3.setSurface(surface3);
// mp1.prepareAsync(); //
mp3.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp3) {
mp3.start();
}
});
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceTextureSizeChanged(SurfaceTexture surface, int width, int height) {
}
#Override
public boolean onSurfaceTextureDestroyed(SurfaceTexture surface) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceTextureUpdated(SurfaceTexture surface) {
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
if (mp1 != null && mp1.isPlaying()) {
mp1.pause();
}
super.onPause();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
if (mp1 != null) {
mp1.start();
}
super.onResume();
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
if (mp1 != null) {
mp1.stop();
mp1.release();
mp1 = null;
}
super.onDestroy();
}
}
You should play media in a different non-ui thread. like this:-
public class MediaService extends Service {
private MediaPlayer mp1, mp2, mp3;
private static final String ACTION_START = TAG + ".ACTION_START";
private IBinder mBinder = new MyBinder();
private MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener mMediaPrepared = new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
Log.d(TAG, "MediaPlayer.onPrepared");
onCommandPlay(mp);
}
};
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
Log.v(TAG, "onBind");
return mBinder;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
m1 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a1);
m2 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a2);
m3 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a9);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (m1 != null) m1 .release();
if (m2 != null) m2 .release();
if (m3 != null) m3 .release();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
final String action = intent.getAction();
Log.d(TAG, "onStartCommand: " + intent.getAction());
if (ACTION_START.equals(action)) {
onCommandStart();
return START_STICKY;
}
stopSelf();
return Service.START_STICKY_COMPATIBILITY;
}
/**
* Performs actions related to media player when Service onStartCommand method is called
*
*/
private void onCommandStart() {
// Create Notifications with remote views
mNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this).setTicker("Media Service started...")
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setContent(collapsed)
.setAutoCancel(false)
.setOngoing(true)
.build();
startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, mNotification);
startPlaying();
}
private void onCommandPlay(MediaPlayer mp) {
try {
mp.start();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "onCommandPlay", e);
}
}
/**
* Start playing the provided media item
*
*/
private void startPlaying() {
mCurrent = item;
try {
mp1.reset();
mp1.setOnPreparedListener(mMediaPrepared);
mp2.reset();
mp2.setOnPreparedListener(mMediaPrepared);
mp3.reset();
mp3.setOnPreparedListener(mMediaPrepared);
AssetFileDescriptor afd1 = getResources().openRawResourceFd(getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.a9););
AssetFileDescriptor afd2 = getResources().openRawResourceFd(getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.a10););
AssetFileDescriptor afd3 = getResources().openRawResourceFd(getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.a8););
mp1.setDataSource(afd1 .getFileDescriptor(), afd1 .getStartOffset(), afd1.getLength());
mp2.setDataSource(afd2 .getFileDescriptor(), afd2 .getStartOffset(), afd2 .getLength());
mp3.setDataSource(afd3 .getFileDescriptor(), afd3 .getStartOffset(), afd3 .getLength());
mp1.prepareAsync();
mp2.prepareAsync();
mp3.prepareAsync();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "startPlaying", e);
}
}
public class MyBinder extends Binder {
public MediaService getService() {
return MediaService.this;
}
}
}
then start the service from Activity like this:
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MediaService.class);
intent.setAction(ACTION_START);
startServie(intent);
You should also handle different media playing use-cases. You can refer this link for more.
So basically, i got a list view that shows a list of bands.
When i press on one of the bands in the list, it creates a band profile page via an adapter.
In this layout, i got a play button, which starts a MediaPlayer service and play a song.
So far, so good.
The problem is, im trying to update the seekBar, located in the band profile page (created by the adapter mentioned above), from the MediaPlayer service Java file, but i'm unable to reach it.
i'm trying to use :
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_singleband, null, false);
seekBar = (SeekBar) layout.findViewById(R.id.seekBarBand);
but it seems that it uses another "instance" of the view, and not the one i'm currently viewing.
Here is the full MusicService Java file:
public class MusicService extends Service {
SeekBar seekBar;
Handler handler;
Runnable runnable;
NotificationManager nMN;
TextView BandName;
String songLink;
String songName;
String bandName;
String SongPlaying="";
String BandPlaying="";
public static MediaPlayer mp;
public static Boolean mpState = true;
public static Boolean mpPause = false;
public static Boolean isPlaying = false;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
// Play Cycle for seekBar
public void PlayCycle(){
seekBar.setProgress(mp.getCurrentPosition());
if (mp.isPlaying()){
runnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
PlayCycle();
}
};
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 1000);
}
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
songLink = intent.getStringExtra("SongLink");
songName = intent.getStringExtra("SongName");
bandName = intent.getStringExtra("BandName");
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_singleband, null, false);
seekBar = (SeekBar) layout.findViewById(R.id.seekBarBand);
BandName = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.singleBandNameView);
BandName.setText("Bla Bla");
System.out.print("Band Name : "+ BandName.getText() );
handler = new Handler();
seekBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean input) {
if (input){
mp.seekTo(progress);
}
}
#Override

});
if (isPlaying && !songName.equals(SongPlaying) && !BandPlaying.equals(bandName)) {

Would love to have some suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Okey Firstly I suggest you to read more about Android Service classes. Secondly Do NOT place you visual components like a SeekBar or TextView in the Service because it doesn't make any sense. Service is just a background task and do not know about the UI. Since it's executed in the background you don't even need AsyncTask inside this so thirdly remove ALL AsyncTasks in your service and run their task like they don't need to be executed in the background.
So all what you have to do is create a Fragment/Activity for the UI, then bind your Fragment/Acitivity with your Service to communicate and update UI components.
The easiest way is make the Service a Singleton like it's done here:
public class MusicService extends Service {
private static MusicService instance = null;
public static MusicService getInstance() {
return instance;
}

I am making a game app but the music still keeps playing even when I closed the game. how to stop? and how to change background music once I go to another activity after I clicked a button
public class BackgroundSoundService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = null;
MediaPlayer player;
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
player = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.rysk);
player.setLooping(true); // Set looping
player.setVolume(100,100);
}
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
player.start();
return 1;
}
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
// TO DO
}
public IBinder onUnBind(Intent arg0) {
// TO DO Auto-generated method
return null;
}
public void onStop() {
}
public void onPause() {
}
#Override

player.stop();
player.release();
}
#Override

}
}
this is my main activity (PlayActivity.class)
Intent svc=new Intent(this, BackgroundSoundService.class);
startService(svc);
I want to change the music when I clicked a button and went to CatActivity
You should have to work with registerReceiver,unregisterReceiver.
May this helps you.

You need to stop the player in onPause(). Following code can be used:
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if (this.isFinishing()){
player.stop();
}
}
Check Android Stop Background Music for more details
for that you should stop the service in the onCreate method of the Activity. Below is the code for it :
stopService(new Intent(MyService.MY_SERVICE));
Best of Luck!
In Your MainActivity , You Should Call stopService() Inside MainActivity
#Override
public void OnPause() {
stopService(svc);
}
I'm relatively new to android development and I'm trying to make a game in Android Studio where I want background music to play. Here is my code for the service:
public class BackgroundSoundService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = null;
MediaPlayer player;
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
player = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.backgroundmusic);
player.setLooping(true); // Set looping
player.setVolume(100,100);
}
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
player.start();
return 1;
}
public IBinder onUnBind(Intent arg0) {
// TO DO Auto-generated method
return null;
}
public void onStop() {
player.pause();
}
public void onPause() {
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
player.stop();
player.release();
}
#Override
public void onLowMemory() {
player.pause();
}
}
And in the activity where I want to initialise the backgroundmusic
Intent svc=new Intent(this, BackgroundSoundService.class);
startService(svc);
which is placed in the onCreateMethod. When I open the activity where I call the service to play the music, nothing happens, total silence.
For some further details: the backgroundmusic file is in a .mp3 format and the phone on which I do my testing is a Nexus 6 running the latest version of Marshmallow.
I'm probably missing something obvious, can anyone point it out for me and/or give any tips on how to do it better in the future? Thanks in advance.
try this piece of code for running the music on the start up
public class start extends Activity {
MediaPlayer intro;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle Start) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(Start);
setContentView(R.layout.start);
intro = MediaPlayer.create(start.this,R.raw.SONGNAME);
intro.start();
Thread timer = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
Intent openStart = new Intent("com.example.main.MAIN");
startActivity(openStart);
}
}
};
timer.start();
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
intro.release();
finish();
}
and make sure that the music file is located in the correct folder (raw)
Try to add a prepare-Listener:
player.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
Log.d(TAG, "preparation Completed ...playing ");
player.start();
}
});
I think the setVolume is by default handled with a float (0=off, 1=max). Check your log output too. Sometimes the MediaPlayer is reporting a error-code.
EDIT / Second approach:
Did you added this line to your manifest (inside application tag)?
<application
... >
<service android:name="BackgroundSoundService" android:enabled="true"></service>
I am using a Service to play background Music. The problem is that the music continues playing when i have finished the activity.
Here is code From Main Activity which starts the service
Intent svc=new Intent(HomeActivity.this, BackgroundSoundService.class);
startService(svc);
BackgroundSoundService.java
public class BackgroundSoundService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = null;
public static MediaPlayer player;
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
return null;
}
#Override

Try to stop service from your MainActivity:
Intent svc=new Intent(HomeActivity.this, BackgroundSoundService.class);
stopService(svc);
You have to call selfStop() method inside your service.
or use stopService() API
