Android background audio with a live audio stream

I have come along in leaps and bound with my first android app in the last three days. This is my last hurdle. How do I get my app to run a background Service that will allow the audio to keep playing? I have tried several examples I could find but they are based on playing a local (or streamed) mp3 file as opposed to a live (Icecast) mp3 stream.
Here's my code currently, everything works except background audio.
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private ImageButton btn;
private ImageView img;
private boolean playPause;
private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn = findViewById(R.id.playPause);
img = findViewById(R.id.radioTower);
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(new MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener() {
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
mp.reset();
return false;
}
});
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
//mp.start();
}
});
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (!playPause) {
if(!mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.start();
btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_rounded_pause_button);
img.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_toweron);
img.setAlpha(1.0f);
playPause = true;
}
} else {
if(mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.pause();
btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_play_button);
img.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_toweroff);
img.setAlpha(0.3f);
playPause = false;
}
}
}
});
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource("http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_radio2_mf_p");
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.stop();
}
mediaPlayer.release();
mediaPlayer = null;
}
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.stop();
}
mediaPlayer.release();
mediaPlayer = null;
}
}
}
Any help would be much appreciated.

use service to play audio file instant of activity.

you can start your service from activity like this.
public void startMusicService() {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MusicService.class);
serviceIntent.setAction(Constants.ACTION.STARTFOREGROUND_ACTION);
startService(serviceIntent);
bindService(serviceIntent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
for stop service use this code
public void stopMusicService() {
if (service != null) {
try {
service.stop();
unbindService(mConnection);
stopService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, service.getClass()));
service = null;
} catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
stopService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, service.getClass()));
service = null;
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
for bind service with activity use this
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder _service) {
MusicService.LocalBinder binder = (MusicService.LocalBinder) _service;
service = binder.getServiceInstance(); //Get instance of your service!
service.registerClient(MainActivity.this); //Activity register in the service as client for callabcks!
if (listHolder != null) {
initilizeSongsList(listHolder.list, listHolder.position);
}
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) {
}
};
where service is music service object in activity MusicService service;

So this is the working service for a single live stream URL thanks to asim.
public class StreamService extends Service implements MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener, MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener {
public static final String ACTION_PLAY = "com.example.action.PLAY";
private static final String STREAM_URL = "...";
private static final String TEST_URL = "https://www.nasa.gov/mp3/586447main_JFKwechoosemoonspeech.mp3";
MainActivity mainActivity;
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = null;
WifiManager.WifiLock wifiLock;
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
public StreamService getServiceInstance() {
return StreamService.this;
}
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION_PLAY)) {
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setWakeMode(getApplicationContext(), PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK);
mediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
wifiLock = ((WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE))
.createWifiLock(WifiManager.WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF, "mylock");
wifiLock.acquire();
try {
// Set the stream URL location
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(TEST_URL);
// prepareAsync must be called after setAudioStreamType and setOnPreparedListener
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
// ... react appropriately ...
// The MediaPlayer has moved to the Error state, must be reset!
return false;
}
void switchButton() {
mainActivity.checkPlaying(!mediaPlayer.isPlaying());
}
public boolean play() {
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
//switchButton();
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.pause();
return false;
} else {
mediaPlayer.start();
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
public void stop() {
try {
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
mediaPlayer.release();
mediaPlayer = null;
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
/** Called when MediaPlayer is ready */
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer player) {
//player.start();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if( wifiLock != null) wifiLock.release();
if (mediaPlayer != null) mediaPlayer.release();
}
public void registerClient(MainActivity activity) {
mainActivity = activity;
}
public boolean isplaying() {
return mediaPlayer == null ? false : mediaPlayer.isPlaying();
}
}
Which is implemented in the main activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private ImageButton btn; // Play | Pause toggle button
private ImageView img; // Radio tower image that alternates between on and off
StreamService service;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Bind the view buttons to local variables
btn = findViewById(R.id.playPause);
img = findViewById(R.id.radioTower);
startStream();
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (service.isplaying()) {
Log.d("pause","Pause Playback");
} else {
Log.d("play", "Start Playback");
}
}
});
}
public void startStream() {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, StreamService.class);
serviceIntent.setAction(StreamService.ACTION_PLAY);
startService(serviceIntent);
bindService(serviceIntent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
public void stopStream() {
if (service != null) {
try {
service.stop();
unbindService(mConnection);
stopService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, service.getClass()));
service = null;
} catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
stopService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, service.getClass()));
service = null;
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder _service) {
StreamService.LocalBinder binder = (StreamService.LocalBinder) _service;
service = binder.getServiceInstance(); //Get instance of your service!
service.registerClient(MainActivity.this); //Activity register in the service as client for callabcks!
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) {
}
};
}
Service starts just fine, I just need to learn how to access the service object to implement the play pause functionality.

Playing media player inside fragment with background service

I'm trying to implement live stream radio by using fragment and background service, however every time I click to radio button on navigation drawer I couldn't reach the player because it generates one more and I can only control the second one. Here is my fragment class.
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

HashMap<Integer, ArrayList<GenericStreamItem>> broadcastDays = new HashMap<>();
streamModel.setStreamAllArrays(broadcastDays);
BroadcastPagerAdapter radioPagerAdapter = new BroadcastPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager(), getContext(), TAG);
radioPager.setAdapter(radioPagerAdapter);

}
private void start(String url) {
try {
mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

mp.setOnCompletionListener(this);
Log.e("Radio::", "Working");
} catch (Exception e) {

}
}

});
v.findViewById(R.id.radioBroadcast).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public class RadioService extends Service implements MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener {
public void initMediaPlayer(String url) {
// ...initialize the MediaPlayer here...
ApiManager.getInstance().getRadioURL(new ApiResponseLive.GetTVStreamUrlListener() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(String tvUrl) {
start(ApiManager.RADIO_URL);
mp.setOnErrorListener(RadioService.this);
}
#Override
public void onFailure(String responseString) {
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
// ... react appropriately ...

mp.reset();
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
if (mp != null) mp.release();

#Nullable
#Override

}
Here is how I call fragment:
RadioFragment radioFragment = new RadioFragment();
fragment = fm.findFragmentByTag("radio");
radioDrawer.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (fragment == null) {
fm.beginTransaction()
.remove(fm.findFragmentById(R.id.activity_content))
.add(R.id.activity_content, radioFragment,
"radio").addToBackStack("main").commit();
} else {
fm.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.activity_content,
radioFragment, "radio");
}
fullView.closeDrawers();
}
});

Have a look at this link.
Try using a thread in progress changed.

you have to use thread on onprogresschnaged....
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar arg0, final int progress, boolean arg2) {
Thread thread = new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
while(true) {
//here write your code
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
thread.start();
}

Android back to main activity from MusicService notification

I'm working on a music player for android and i'm stuck at this problem.
By now i can play a song with musicservice and send it to background, i also display a notification with current playing song.
What i need is to re-open the main activity from the song notification and continue playing the song, it actually starts the desired activity but the music service is re-created and it stops the current playing song.
Here is my code.
MusicService.java

//create the service
super.onCreate();
//initialize position
songPosition = 0;
//create player
player = new MediaPlayer();
initMusicPlayer();
}

player.setOnCompletionListener(this);
player.setOnErrorListener(this);
}

songs = theSongs;

(The fragment also re-creates itself when navigating through drawer menu items)
I hope somebody can help me achieve this. I dont know how to maintane the state when re-starting the MainActivity (by the way, im using navdrawer to hold fragments)

Include the currently playing song in your notification intent. Update the intent as the song changes. Include the flag to clear top and the flag to update current in the notification intent. :( sorry IDK if I have the flags right for your situation but you'll have a place to do more research.
In your service where you create the notification intent.
// link the notifications to the recorder activity
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(context, KmlReader.class);
resultIntent
.setAction(ServiceLocationRecorder.INTENT_COM_GOSYLVESTER_BESTRIDES_LOCATION_RECORDER);
resultIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent
.getActivity(context, 0, resultIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
return mBuilder.build();
}
Then in main onCreate check the bundle for the name of the currently playing song and display it. Notice how I check for the existence of a bundle key before using it.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Intent intent = getIntent();
String intentaction = intent.getAction();
// First Run checks
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
// first run init
...
} else {
// get the saved_Instance state
// always get the default when key doesn't exist
// default is null for this example
currentCameraPosition = savedInstanceState
.containsKey(SAVED_INSTANCE_CAMERA_POSITION) ? (CameraPosition) savedInstanceState
.getParcelable(SAVED_INSTANCE_CAMERA_POSITION) : null;
...

Audio Streaming Seekbar Hides while song is playing

I can't find a way to stop hiding the seekbar. As soon as the song plays the seekbar hides after 2-3 sec. I am really new into this so not really sure how I can approach to this issue. I tried putting mediaController.show() into my methods when the song is playing but no luck. I found this code from a Youtube Channel below is the code:
public class MainActivity extends ListActivity implements OnPreparedListener,
MediaController.MediaPlayerControl {
private static final String TAG = "AudioPlayer";
private ListView list;
private MainArrayAdapter adapter;
private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
private MediaController mediaController;
private String audioFile;
private Handler handler = new Handler();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
list = getListView();
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mediaController = new MediaController(this);
ArrayList<String> array_list_music = new ArrayList<String>();
array_list_music.add("Sammy Kaye And His Orchestra" + " ### "
+ "Minka (1941)" + " ### "
+ "http://incoming.jazz-on-line.com/a/mp3w/1941_149.mp3");
adapter = new MainArrayAdapter(MainActivity.this, array_list_music);
setListAdapter(adapter);
list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
long arg3) {
Object item = getListView().getItemAtPosition(arg2);
String the_list_item = item.toString();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
"You clicked " + the_list_item, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
String[] aux = the_list_item.split(" ### ");
String url_to_play = aux[2];
playAudio(url_to_play);
}
});
}
private void playAudio(String url_to_play) {
//----- stop & reset
try {
mediaPlayer.stop();
mediaPlayer.reset();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
}
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url_to_play);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
mediaPlayer.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not open file " + url_to_play + " for playback.",
e);
}
}

mediaController.show();
handler.post(new Runnable() {

mediaController.setEnabled(true);
mediaController.show();

});
