Mediaplayer Stops playing

Question

In our Gamefield class do we want to start a simple Mediaplayer with a Backgroundmusik like this

public GameField(Context context, int width, int height) {
    super(context);
    getHolder().addCallback(this);
    // get an instance of the gameLoop
    setFocusable(true); // events happen on this view

    //Starting soundloop
    MediaPlayer play = MediaPlayer.create(this.getContext(), R.raw.coryphee_coryphee);
    play.setLooping(true);
    play.start(); ......

This actually stops after some time playing the musik. In our Mainacivity do we start a Mediaplayer like this and it does not stop playing.

Why does it stop and how can if fix it? We fixed it with running it in a Thread but i think it should work like this. Every tutorial i could find do it like this so i am a bit helpless

Best Regards and thanks alot.

Is that view object active and visible the entire time as well? If the object that owns the `MediaPlayer` gets garbage collected for any reason, playback will cease. — devunwired, Nov 14 '12 at 18:49
Yes it's our serface view where we render the picture. (Canvas) — bemeyer, Nov 14 '12 at 20:23

This actually worked for us. I wonder why it does this. We defined it as private Metiaplayer play and it still stoped. As Static it worked. Thanks – bemeyer Nov 15 '12 at 09:22
