Running Video Streaming using Foreground Service

[shashkiranr]

Hi,

Any Suggestions of how to use Foreground service to stream a video. This is needed incase the phone gets locked when the video is buffering and when user unlocks the phone, the video should continue buffering. currently im using videoview to buffer a youtube video. but if the phone gets locked the buffering stops and when i unlock the phone the Video starts to buffer from first.

Please let me know how.

Regards,
SK

VideoView streaming is handled internally.

You can use PhoneWakeState to prevent the phone from going to sleep.

Oh ok , so in case if i want to handle the streaming in the background even when the user locks intentionally its not possible?

That is correct.
