Android: How To Stop Other Active Media Players?

I'm trying to create a music player. My application has 2 players - (a) plays songs from the memory (b) plays online music streams using URLs The home/default activity of my app

Solution 1:

You can create a class in your project and call it MediaPlayerRegistry where you store a reference to each mediaPlayer object you are currently using. and access them anywhere in your app to stop / release / replay them. it would look something like this:

publicclassMediaPlayerRegistry {
      publicstaticList<MediaPlayer> mList = new ArrayList<MediaPlayer>();
}

Then from any activity you have you can call:

MediaPlayerRegistry.mList.put(MediaPlayer mPlayer);

to add it to your registry... and when you want to release it stop any running object.

for ( MediaPlayer player : MediaPlayerRegistry.mList) {
if (player != null && player.isplaying() {
      player.release();
}
}

just think of it as your own pool of MediaPlayer objects
