What am I trying to do: Using google exoPlayer to play music, foreground and background. Break into details: The app launches, google exoPlayer playback control UI should be visible and starts to play immediately. As soon as the player starts to play, we should see the notification (Using exoplayer's PlayerNotificationManager ) User exits the app either by pressing the back button or swipe from the recent task, the player service should keep running in foreground with notification. User taps the notification, it should bring up the app. What I have done: I followed google IO18 on this link [this video] While I am following the above youtube link, especially the audio app part, I realize one thing

I can't get my mind around how to use ExoPlayer, I followed this tutorial [this video] but I can't get the player to work with my uri. This is my code (same as in the video but with different uri) : @Override protected void onStart() { super.onStart(); //player creation player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this, new DefaultTrackSelector()); //playerview binding with player playerView.setPlayer(player); //telling what we want to play DefaultDataSourceFactory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(this, Util.getUserAgent(this, "exoplayertest")); Uri uri = Uri.parse(" [LINK] "); Toast.makeText(this, uri.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); ExtractorMediaSource mediaSource = new Ex

if you are using the simplecache then you can retrieve all url as keys of cache like below: abc.getcache(context).getKeys(); This will return you all the urls whose data is cached in you app cache. if you want the video to be cached then see the exoplayer video of google 2018. [this video] .

If you want to play music if user moves to other app or locks the screen, use a foreground service and make sure to display a notification to user while the service is in foreground. It is not advisable to use different MediaPlayer objects to play music in loop. I suggest you to use ExoPlayer to achieve the above functionalities. You can use the below code to loop the music: exoPlayer!!.repeatMode = Player.REPEAT_MODE_ONE Watch this tutorial : Building feature-rich media apps with ExoPlayer (Google I/O '18) [this video] provided by Android Developers team at Google.

That'll be activity lifecycle handling that you'll need to handle on your own. Methods like `onUserLeaveHint` can notify when user has pressed home or moved to another application or `onBackPressed` can notify when user moves back to previous activity or screen.

Okay i simply must have removed the DefaultDataSourceFactory by mistake and forgot to set back an UpstreamDataSource to the CacheDataSource instance. Everything works fine now, hope this helps others. In code we need to add this : DefaultDataSourceFactory defaultDataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(context, Util.getUserAgent(context, context.getString(R.string.app_name))); cacheDataSource.setUpstreamDataSourceFactory(defaultDataSourceFactory); I have also learn a lot about ExoPlayer watching this video [this video] , despite it was in 2018 with the exoplayer version 2.8. I am using the latest at the moment, meaning 2.12.3.

The purpose of application is to play some radio stations via url streaming using exoplayer. The problem encountered is that when the app is running and the notification starts there are 2 different streams playing one by my button press from the radio UI and one by the notification. My question is how can I make it so when I press a button on the UI it changes the the stream on the notification player as well. P.S. I have tried importing one player however that proved from mainactivity.java by calling it a static however that causes a memory leak and the stream stop in the foreground service. I used the notificationPlayerManager(exoplayer) from here: [this video] Main Activity class: package----
