Question

I use VideoView to play audio from URL.
My code is as below:

Uri video = Uri.parse(url[i]);
vv.setVideoURI(video);
vv.setMediaController(mediaController);
vv.start();

I want to play audio in background.
How to achieve it?

Answer 1

If you wanna play the audio in the background, whats the need to do it with VideoView.
Just use the MediaPlayer for this.

MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(path);
mMediaPlayer.prepare();
mMediaPlayer.start();
