Question

I have an intent that launches an Audio Player Intent, and plays an Audio File. The Audio Player offcourse is external to my application. When the user presses the back button, my activity is again displayed to the user. I want the Audio Player to close when the user presses the back button. How can i control this.

Answer 1

I placed this code on the OnResume() of my calling activity and it works like a GEM.

AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);

AudioManager mAudioManager = (AudioManager) this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);    
if (mAudioManager.isMusicActive()) 
{

     Intent i = new Intent("com.android.music.musicservicecommand");
     i.putExtra("command", "pause");
     this.sendBroadcast(i);
}
