Question

I have created Player object as

player = Manager.createPlayer(inputStream,"audio/mpeg");

and plays the audio as

player.realize(); player.prefetch(); player.start(); 

It starts playing the stream. Here the inputstream refers live streaming url. Now my question is when i click on the back button the application will be closed so that player also will stop the playing. but I need to play the audio in background even the application is closed and after launching the app i dont want to initialize the Player object again,for this i have to maintain the Player object as singleton. I am using 4.7 blackberry api.Can someone please tell me how all these will possible?

thanks

Override the “onClose()” method in your Screen class to catch the close event and put your app in the background:

public boolean onClose() {
    Application.getApplication().requestBackground();
    return false;
}
