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;

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() {

}
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.

Android play video in surfaceview NullPointerException

I try to play video in surfaceview. I use Fragment (extends Fragment) and I have NullPointerException. I have no idea what am I doing wrong. First time I used Activity and in Activity project worked perfect but I use Fragment and I have error
This is a my source
public class Layout1 extends Fragment implements OnBufferingUpdateListener,

Error log

It seems that onSurfaceCreated is called before playVideo(). Initialize your mMediaPlayer (and handler too by the way) in Fragment's onCreate().
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
handler = new Handler();
playVideo();
}
private void playVideo() {
mcontroller = new MediaController(getActivity());
mcontroller.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(getActivity(), Uri.parse(video));
// implement a fallback mechanism if it fails, for example if no internet or 404
if (mMediaPlayer == null) {
Log.w("Layout1", "Faileded to create MediaPlayer");
return;
}
mMediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mMediaPlayer.setScreenOnWhilePlaying(true);
mMediaPlayer.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(this);
mMediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_layout1, null);
SurfaceView v = (SurfaceView) view
.findViewById(R.id.screen_tutorial_video_surface);
v.getHolder().addCallback(this);
return view;
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder arg0) {
if (mMediaPlayer == null) {
// implement a fallback mechanism if it fails, for example if no internet or 404
Log.w("Layout1", "MediaPlayer was not created");
return;
}
// the holder reference is already passed as arg0 here
mMediaPlayer.setDisplay(arg0);
try {
// progressDialog.dismiss();
mMediaPlayer.start();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
After you removed catch (Exception e) in playVideo()
If you looked closely in logs you could have seen
Permission failure: android.permission.INTERNET from uid=10052 pid=1129
Request requires android.permission.INTERNET
Unable to create media player
create failed:
java.io.IOException: setDataSource failed.: status=0x80000000
Thus you also need to add permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
If it wasn't for the project you've attached we would never knew.

How can I fix this. I have no idea.
Can anyone help me. Please !!!

You need to stop and release the media player before your activity finishes. Try adding this to your activity:
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if(mMediaPlayer != null)
{
mMediaPlayer.stop();
mMediaPlayer.release();
}
}

How can I stop MediaPlayer without error when I press Back or go to another activity

I created a Karaoke application. But I can't stop the MediaPlayer with out an error. When I press Back Button to go to home, I get "sorry ,Application has stopped working" The same thing happens if I try to start another activity.
This my code.

I think I have an error with "if else". How can I fix this ?

Try first mMediaPlayer.stop() and then release it by mMediaPlayer.release()

you can try this,
after release you should set mediaplayer null
private void releaseMediaPlayer() {
if (mMediaPlayer != null) {
mMediaPlayer.release();
mMediaPlayer = null;
}
}

setLooping don't work in my videoplayer

I am a Android newbie. I want to design my personal videoplayer to play streaming music, so I use MediaPlayer and SurfaceView. The project plays streaming video successfully, but it can't be setloop. I have google many articles and read Android Developer. I can't figure out why mediaPlayer.setLooping(true) don't work here. Thanks^^
mediaPlayer.reset();
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(videoUrl);
mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
The code includes two parts: 1.Test_Videoplayer.java 2.Player.java
1.Test_Videoplayer.java
public class Test_Videoplayer extends Activity {
private SurfaceView surfaceView;
private Button btnPause, btnPlayUrl, btnStop;
private SeekBar skbProgress;
private Player player;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

btnPlayUrl = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.btnPlayUrl);
btnPlayUrl.setOnClickListener(new ClickEvent());
btnPause = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.btnPause);
btnPause.setOnClickListener(new ClickEvent());
btnStop = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.btnStop);
btnStop.setOnClickListener(new ClickEvent());
