Making the music play in the background after the app has been closed
My question here is about playing the music after the user closes the app (the app tab is not showing on the list of currently open apps).
I have created a class to handle the service that targets the media player to play the ring-tone music:
public class RingService extends Service {
private MediaPlayer player;
@Nullable
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
player = MediaPlayer.create(this,
Settings.System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI);
player.setLooping(true);
player.start();
return START_STICKY;
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
player.stop();
}
}
in my MainActivity I use a button to start playing music. And it works fine till I close the app.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
}
public void onRing(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, RingService.class);
startService(intent);
}
public void onStop(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, RingService.class);
stopService(intent);
}
}
Is there anyone who could tell me, what I'm doing wrong? I would be extremely grateful.
And just not to start another topic for this app, I will ask it here - is it possible to relaunch the activity in 10 seconds after it has been closed by the user?

I think you missed the onCreate to implement
My app is doing good with this code:
public class BackgroundMusicService extends Service {
MediaPlayer musicPlayer;
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
musicPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.your_music_file);
musicPlayer.setLooping(true); // Set looping
musicPlayer.setVolume(100,100);
}
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
musicPlayer.start();
return 1;
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
musicPlayer.stop();
musicPlayer.release();
}
and in you manifest:
<service android:enabled="true" android:name=".BackgroundSoundService" />

So after closing your app you want to play some ringtone using RingService but when user close the app the onStop() method is called in your MainActivity with this code Intent intent = new Intent(this, RingService.class);. How service can play your music if you stopping your service at same time.
stopService(intent);
Try to delete this code from onStop() (not sure it will solve the problem but it worth trying).
Additionally I am recommending using Logcat for testing your code.

You need to put your service in foreground with startForeground(id, notification), check the official docs for reference.
When you have a service in foreground, the chances of your process being killed are reduced drastically because your process won't be considered as in background. The downside is that you must show a permanent notification, which in your case might even be desirable because you might need controls for the player.

So after closing your app you want to play some ringtone using RingService but when user close the app the onStop() method is called in your MainActivity with this code Intent intent = new Intent(this, RingService.class);. How service can play your music if you stopping your service at same time.
stopService(intent);
Try to delete this code from onStop() (not sure it will solve the problem but it worth trying).
Additionally I am recommending using Logcat for testing your code.
