Question

I’am starting a MediaPlayer Service via an Activity, exactly with a button:

startService(new Intent(this, PlayerService.class));

My Service Executes in onCreate the MediaPlayer

    @Override
public void onCreate() {
    mp = new MediaPlayer();
    mp.setOnPreparedListener(this);
    prepareMediaPlayer(); //prepares the MediaPlayer, setDataSource and so on
    Log.d(TAG, "onCreate Service");
}

I can get out of the activity with the homebutton and the stream plays fine, but if I get back via backButton the stream stops. And begins to start again. With other DataSource.
Can you help me why?
I got no error!

Answer 1

create an foreground service (with setForeground()) solved it.
