Android Media Player Plays In The Background, But Doesn't Stop When App Killed

Question

I\'m new to Android, so I have a problem. In Android I want to play background music as soon as my music player starts and have it continue even if the activity changes from

Answer 1

i did this by following way

initialize

    MediaPlayer player;
    Music music;

in OnCreate

    music = new Music();
    music.execute("abc");

when you want to stop music, usually in onDestroy method

        music.cancel(true);
        if(player.isPlaying()){
        player.stop();
        player.release();
        }

create music class

  public class Music extends AsyncTask
{

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {

        if(running)
        {
        player = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.bg_music1); 
        player.setVolume(100,100); 
        player.setLooping(true); 
        player.start(); 
        }
        else
        {
            player.stop();
            player.release();
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCancelled() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCancelled();
        running = false;
    }
}

another way is to use service
