Android Google Music app stops when my intro video plays

Question

I\'m using a VideoView in my Android app to display the intro animation.

If the Google Music App is playing music in the background, calling videoview.start() stops

Answer 1

Using both the answers previously given, here is a solution that will resume music after your video ends:

final boolean music_was_playing = ((AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE)).isMusicActive();

VideoView vv_Video = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.intro_video_view);

// play the intro video
vv_Video.setOnCompletionListener( new OnCompletionListener() {
    @Override
    public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer m) {
        // resume music if it was playing cause our intro video just paused it temporarily
        if (music_was_playing) {
            Intent i = new Intent("com.android.music.musicservicecommand");
            i.putExtra("command", "play");
            sendBroadcast(i);
        }

        // go to main menu
        startActivity(new Intent(IntroActivity.this, MainMenuActivity.class));
    }
});
