Android Question Keep audio playing with pause activity

[victormedranop]

Hi, Is there any way to let the audio running when you exit the activity??

Thanks,

Victor

Yes, play it from a service.

Call Service.StartForeground to prevent Android from killing it.

I was trying with calling the service with this

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
Dim vv As VideoView
vv.Initialize("vv")
vv.LoadVideo("http","http://66.128.53.117:9950" )
vv.Play
End Sub

but no audio

You should be using MediaPlayerStream not VideoView to play audio.

This will work:

Private music As MediaPlayerStream

music.Initialize("Music")
music.Load("http://66.128.53.117:9950")

...

Sub Music_StreamReady
	music.Play
End Sub

You need to reference the AUDIO library in the IDE.
