I am new to Android development.
I am making an Android app that has a button that runs a service that extends Service to play all audios in the raw folder using MediaPlayer because I need to run the service in the background.
The problem is, when I'm switching between other activities (layout) that I've created, the audio automatically stops.
Can anyone tell me how I can keep the audio playing?
This is the part of the service I created.
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
{
final MediaPlayer m00 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_0);
final MediaPlayer m01 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_1);
final MediaPlayer m02 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_2);
final MediaPlayer m03 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_3);
final MediaPlayer m04 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_4);
final MediaPlayer m05 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_5);
final MediaPlayer m06 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_6);
final MediaPlayer m07 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_7);
final MediaPlayer m08 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_8);
final MediaPlayer m09 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_9);
final MediaPlayer m10 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_10);
final MediaPlayer m11 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.audio_11);
