I've learned all about AudioFocus and it's handling from these sources: Media playback the right way (Big Android BBQ 2015) [this video] How to properly handle audio interruptions [LINK] Managing Audio Focus [LINK] AudioManager [LINK] AudioManager.OnAudioFocusChangeListener [LINK] And, in a makeweight, here you have some info about cleaning up media resourses for your app to not to eat a bunch of memory and release media codec for other apps in case they want to use it too: Releasing the MediaPlayer [LINK] Cleaning up MediaPlayer resources [LINK]

There's a few things in the MediaButtonReceiver documentation [LINK] you are missing firstly: You need to add the <intent-filter> for android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON to your .myService - without this, MediaButtonReceiver won't know which Service to forward media buttons to You need to call handleIntent() [LINK] in your onStartCommand() [LINK] After that, your Service will be set up correctly, but you still won't receive media buttons. As explained in the Media Playback the Right Way talk [this video] , you need to become the preferred media button receiver by calling mediaSessionCompat.setActive(true) [LINK] . You'll also want to make sure you are calling mediaSessionCompat.setFlags(MediaSessi

As explained in the Media playback the right way talk [this video] , you must be registered as the 'preferred media app'. This is much easier when you use MediaSessionCompat [LINK] as explained in the MediaSessionCompat video [LINK] : ComponentName mediaButtonReceiver = new ComponentName(context, YourBroadcastReceiver.class); MediaSessionCompat mediaSession = new MediaSessionCompat(context, tag, // Debugging tag, any string mediaButtonReceiver, null); mediaSession.setFlags( MediaSessionCompat.FLAG_HANDLES_MEDIA_BUTTONS | MediaSessionCompat.FLAG_HANDLES_TRANSPORT_CONTROLS); mediaSession.setCallback(this); // a MediaSessionCompat.Callback // This is what enables media buttons and should be called /

@jasonhudgins - you're absolutely right and I cover that in my Media Playback the right way talk [this video] - note there are some caveats that the `NotificationCompat.MediaStyle` work around for versions prior to Lollipop.

Problem 1. You can't bind a service to multiple activities in android. Problem 2. You will need a MediaController for that.Have a look here : [LINK] For the first problem, you can create an Application class to which you will bind the service too. The application class will live as long as your app, while your activities will change, therefore you won't be able to bind it to one single activity. Have a look here : [LINK] For the second one, please have a look on the Google samples provided by them. The media player sample is here : [LINK] A good starting point with the android Media Player is here : [this video]

It's kind of noobie question please go through with media player completely then after go through with MediaBrowserServiceCompat which was launched and presented by @ianhanniballake. You should read MediaPlayer as whole before implementing any part of it. If you would have gone through with it you might have had this very basic phenomenon noted in the documentation. Start with this first [LINK] then go through with it [this video]

I'm trying to make a audio app in Android using this [this video] video as a guide, and I'm having trouble with creating the notification using the audio's metadata. Here is the code I use to extract the audio files from the device: public void loadData() { ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver(); String selection = Media.IS_MUSIC + "!= 0"; String[] projection = { Media._ID, Media.ARTIST, Media.TITLE, Media.DISPLAY_NAME, Media.DURATION, Media.ALBUM }; Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query( Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, null, null ); if(cursor == null || !cursor.moveToFirst()) return; else { int size = cursor.getCount(); metadata = new ArrayList<>(size);

I believe you need to modify the model/RemoteJSONSource.java so that it adds MediaMetadataCompat items into the tracks ArrayList. You will need to create a ' buildFromJSON ' method that creates a MediaMetadataCompat object. Be sure to set as many of the media attributes as possible. The Google example shows media being added from a remote JSON source. In my case, I have already loaded remote Firebase JSON into a local SQLite database. So I load my media from SQLite instead. To do that I modified the buildFromJson to be buildFromEpisodesCursor and changed the guts appropriately. (Firebase can send JSON updates to SQLite if the media changes.) Here is a snippet with the key codeblocks: public

I have tried to implement media button control per Google's talk [this video] I set the receiver in manifest: <receiver android:name="android.support.v4.media.session.MediaButtonReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> <service android:name=".player.PlayFileService"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" /> </intent-filter> </service> create the MediaSessionCompat in onCreate() of Service: mediaSession = new MediaSessionCompat(getApplicationContext(), "SOUNDPROCESS"); mediaSession.setFlags(MediaSessionCompat.FLAG_HANDLES_MEDIA_BUTTONS | MediaSessionCompat.FLAG_HANDLES_TRANSPORT_CONTROLS
