Play music in background - android

I want to play music in my app, that i can do. But the problem is how can i continue playing music even if the app is not in foreground. The musiv should stop only when the user select stop button, or pauses it.
Thanks,
Any help will be most appreciated.

You should use service to play music. Refer to this.

try using Services or Async Task

Try using a Service. That link gives a tutorial on how to use a background process. Hope this helps.

as the others said you could use Service
Or you could just make the song play in background thread, and make user back-key to back to their home screen via moveTaskToBack(true);

Playing video's audio in background during screen off, android?

I have an application which uses exoplayer to play videos.
When the user is on player page and presses the power button to close the screen I want the audio to keep playing in the background and notification should be visible to user with controls of play, pause , video metadata etc similar to what we have for every music playing app.
I can keep the audio of video playing from exoplayer using setPlayWhenReady(true).
But I am stuck in for notification. Should I be using MediaBrowserServiceCompat or I will have to create custom notification to handle it?
I think what you should do is to create ForegroundService and create notification as you mentioned to have the ForegroundService working. I think this post might help you:

Android: How to host media player as a service?

I have an app with a playlist and a media player UI.
The issue I am having is when I am playing music, and I re-enter the activity (using a menu), it restarts the media file (because it is calling the onCreate method from the top).
I need to implement the mediaplayer as a servive instead but I have no idea on how to do this! Everywhere I look online is just non-relevant and super confusing articles/code.
Can anyone assist with helpful tutorials or articles related to this?

You can use service to do that.

Just play the song using foreground service showing music player notification in the notification panel.

Continue to play audio even if the screen is locked

I am just messing around with an app that streams audio and I wanted to give it a feature similar to Pandora/Google Music/etc where if you press home or lock the screen the audio continues to play in the background.
How exactly can I accomplish this? Is it through a broadcast receiver or a service? If I knew more closely what I was looking for Google would be more helpful.
Thanks!
It's a service. Anytime you want to do something that takes a lot of time like playing music, downloading a lot of data from a server, etc. it should be a service. The basic technique is to always have the service play the music and then have your activity connect to it to show the status and update the tracks, etc.
