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.

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 class LocalBinder extends Binder {

}
#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,

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) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_radio, container, false);
init(v);
ApiManager.getInstance().getRadioBroadcast(new ApiResponseLive.GetLiveBroadcastListener() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(StreamModel days) {
turnRadioOn(ApiManager.streamModel);
}
#Override
public void onFailure(String responseString) {
}
});
registerHandler(v);
return v;
}
private void turnRadioOn(StreamModel streamModel) {
HashMap<Integer, ArrayList<GenericStreamItem>> broadcastDays = new HashMap<>();
streamModel.setStreamAllArrays(broadcastDays);
BroadcastPagerAdapter radioPagerAdapter = new BroadcastPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager(), getContext(), TAG);
radioPager.setAdapter(radioPagerAdapter);
}
private void init(View v) {
radioPager = (ViewPager) v.findViewById(R.id.broadcastRadioPager);
radioTabLayout = (TabLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.tabsDays);
radioTabLayout.setupWithViewPager(radioPager);
radioPlay = (ToggleButton) v.findViewById(R.id.playButton);
radioScrollView = (ScrollView) v.findViewById(R.id.radioScroll);
}
private void start(String url) {
try {
mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mp.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mp.setDataSource(url);
mp.prepareAsync();
mp.setOnCompletionListener(this);
Log.e("Radio::", "Working");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("StreamAudioDemo", e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void stop() {
try {
mp.pause();
mp.stop();
mp.reset();
mp.release();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void stopRadio() {
try {
Log.e("stopRadio::", "Pause");
mp.pause();
mp.stop();
mp.reset();
mp.release();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.start();
}
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
}
private void registerHandler(View v) {
radioPlay.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
if (isChecked) {
Log.e("Toggle::", "Enabled");
radioService = new RadioService();
radioService.initMediaPlayer(ApiManager.RADIO_URL);
} else {
Log.e("Toggle::", "Disabled");
stop();
stopRadio();
radioService.onDestroy();
}
}
});
v.findViewById(R.id.radioBroadcast).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
radioScrollView.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN);
}
});
}
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 ...
// The MediaPlayer has moved to the Error state, must be reset!
mp.reset();
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
if (mp != null) mp.release();
}
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
}
}
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();
}
});

Android is hanging when I press button to play music in second time

I used these codes from this reference. They want to click on button to play music and then click again to stop playing. (in their comment they said it was worked for them but hanging for me)
It is work just for first time. I mean for first click the music is playing. for second click the music is stop but for third click the phone emulator show this error:
unfortunately your program has stopped.
This is my code:
public MediaPlayer mp;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button btn=(Button) findViewById(R.id.btnRain);
//mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.rain);
mp = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this, R.raw.rain);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
//MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.soundFileName);
// mp.start();
public void onClick(View v) {
if (mp.isPlaying()) {
mp.stop();
mp.release();
}
else {
mp.start();
}
}
});
}

In onCreate initialize mp as :
mp = new MediaPlayer();
The error is you are releasing the media player object mp, which destroys the object, call reset method instead of release.
if (mp.isPlaying())
{
mp.stop();
mp.reset();
}
else {
mp = MediaPlayer.create(LegalActivity.this, R.raw.free1);
mp.start();
}

use this below code for play and pause the music:
public MediaPlayer mp;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button btn=(Button) findViewById(R.id.btnRain);
//mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.rain);
mp = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this, R.raw.rain);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
//MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.soundFileName);
// mp.start();
public void onClick(View v) {
if (mp.isPlaying()) {
mp.pause();
}
else {
mp.start();
}
}
});
}

How to start MediaPlayer after it has been stopped in android

I am new to Android and in my app I am working with MediaPlayer.
When I first tap the start button, the song plays, but when I tap the stop button and then I tap on the start button again, the song does not start playing again. Here's what I have so far:
public class PlayngUrlFiles extends AppCompatActivity {
Button start, pause, stop;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.playingurls_layout);
start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
pause = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
final MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
try {
mp.setDataSource("http://programmerguru.com/android-tutorial/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hosannatelugu.mp3");
mp.prepare();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mp.start();
}
});
pause.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mp.pause();
}
});
stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mp.stop();
}
});
}
}

Try this :
stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (mp != null) {
mp.stop();
mp.release();
}
}
});

just check like this way
if(mdpl.isPlaying()){
mdpl.pause();
} else {
mdpl.start();
}

You can not call start, it media player in on stop state. Take a look on the state diagram of media player MediaPlayer state diagram.
When you call stop, you have to call release(), and with start you get a new media player, or just call reset.

try this
public void onStopBtnClick(View view) {
if (mAudioHelper != null) {
mAudioHelper.stop();
displayMessage("Stopping!");
}
}

Here is code to set sound file.
if (mPlayer != null) {
mPlayer.stop();
mPlayer.release();
}
mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
AppLog.d("Created new Media player");
try {
mPlayer.setDataSource(fileName);
} catch (IOException e) {
AppLog.e("Can't open " + fileName + " file", e);
}
Before playing u should call the mPlayer.prepareAsync() function.
if you want to pause/play you have to use this code:
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()){
mediaPlayer.pause();
} else {
mediaPlayer.start();
}
If you want to stop player use this:
if (mPlayer != null){
mPlayer.stop();
mPlayer.release();
}
mPlayer = null;
If you want to start song again use first functions and next with this steps

This code may help you..
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
destroyMediaPlayer();
}
private void destroyMediaPlayer() {
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
try {
mediaPlayer.release();
Log.d("here", "destroy");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

SOLUTION 1
for this solution, I took some info from here
public class PlayngUrlFiles extends AppCompatActivity {
Button start, pause, stop;
MediaPlayer mp;
/**
* remain false till media is not completed, inside OnCompletionListener make it true.
*/
private boolean initialStage = true;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.playingurls_layout);
start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
pause = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (initialStage) {
mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
new Player()
.execute("http://programmerguru.com/android-tutorial/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hosannatelugu.mp3");
} else {
if (mp && !mp.isPlaying())
mp.start();
}
}
});
pause.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(mp && mp.isPlaying())
mp.pause();
}
});
stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(mp) {
mp.stop();
mp.release();
mp = null;
initialStage = true;
}
}
});
}

class Player extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {
private ProgressDialog progress;
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Boolean prepared;
try {
mp.setDataSource(params[0]);
mp.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {

initialStage = true;
mp.stop();
mp.reset();
}
});
mp.prepare();
prepared = true;
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {

e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SecurityException e) {

e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();
}
return prepared;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPostExecute(result);
if (progress.isShowing()) {
progress.cancel();
}
Log.d("Prepared", "//" + result);
mp.start();
initialStage = false;
}
public Player() {
progress = new ProgressDialog(PlayngUrlFiles.this);
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPreExecute();
this.progress.setMessage("Buffering...");
this.progress.show();
}
}
}
SOLUTION 2
in order to avoid data downloding, try this
public class PlayngUrlFiles extends AppCompatActivity {
Button start, pause, stop;
boolean prepared;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.playingurls_layout);
start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
pause = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
final MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
prepared = false;
mp.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
prepared = true;
mp.start();
}
});
try {
mp.setDataSource("http://programmerguru.com/android-tutorial/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hosannatelugu.mp3");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(mp) {
try {
if(!prepared) {
mp.prepareAsync();
prepared = true;
} else {
mp.start();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
});
pause.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(mp) {
mp.pause();
}
}
});
stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(mp) {
mp.stop();
prepared = false;
}
}
});
}
}

#MRodrigues was right about media player states. But instead of calling release() after stop, Modify your code as below.
Currently,
try {
mp.setDataSource("http://programmerguru.com/android-tutorial/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hosannatelugu.mp3");
mp.prepare();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mp.start();
}
});
modify to,
try {
mp.setDataSource("http://programmerguru.com/android-tutorial/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hosannatelugu.mp3");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (!mp.isPlaying()) {
mp.prepare();
}
mp.start();
}
});

how to play sound in android

I want to play music in my app when application starts. I tried many codes but nothing is working for me and i'm not getting any error.Can somebody please help me regarding this issue.Thanks in advance.
public class Login extends Activity {
EditText edName, edPassword;
String userName,password;
MediaPlayer mp;
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.login);
mp = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.startsound);
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.hide();
edName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
edPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);
mp.start();
}
public void SignInClick(View V) {
userName = edName.getText().toString();
password = edPassword.getText().toString();
if (userName.equals("")) {
Toast.makeText(Login.this, "Username is empty", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();}
else if (password.equals("")) {
Toast.makeText(Login.this, "Password is empty", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else {
Intent intent=new Intent(Login.this,Home.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}

Hope this helps, and should be a working example although I have not had chance to test it.
