MediaButtonIntentReceiver not working in Android 4.0+

It looks like your broadcast receiver is an inner class to your service? If so, make your broadcast receiver static and in the manifest do this: <receiver android:name=”MyOuterClass$MediaButtonIntentReceiver” android:enabled=”true”> <intent-filter android:priority=”2147483647″ > <action android:name=”android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON” /> </intent-filter> </receiver> In Android 3.0+ you must use registerMediaButtonEventReceiver to register the receiver. This uses the AndroidManifest for the IntentFilter. … Read more

Try MediaPlayer.create(), you also may want to start only after player is actually ready, for example: @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); MediaPlayer player = MediaPlayer.create(this, Uri.parse(“http://www.urltofile.com/file.mp3”)); player.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() { @Override public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) { mp.start(); } }); }

MediaPlayer stop playing after about 5 seconds

I had this problem too. It was probably due to having the MediaPlayer-object only existing within a method. For example: //ERROR, stops after 5 sec! public static void playMusic(int id) { MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, id); mediaPlayer.setLooping(true); mediaPlayer.start(); } It is most likely that the garbage collector will come in and clean away the MediaPlayer-object. … Read more

Passing parameters on button action:@selector

Edit. Found a neater way! One argument that the button can receive is (id)sender. This means you can create a new button, inheriting from UIButton, that allows you to store the other intended arguments. Hopefully these two snippets illustrate what to do. myOwnbutton.argOne = someValue [myOwnbutton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonTouchUpInside:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; and – (IBAction) buttonTouchUpInside:(id)sender { MyOwnButton … Read more
