I creating an android app which basically contains 2 media players. One that plays music from phone memory & other that plays streams from internet(URLs).
Each media player is defined in its separate activity. I'm using Service to playback. (i.e. when the user presses the play button, a Service gets started & plays the media).
The MusicPlayer is the default activity of the application & is in the package com.example.musicplayer. Whereas, the stream player is in the different package com.example.streamplayer.
Issue: When the application starts & I select the stream player & press the play button, although the URL stream gets played but I've also noticed that onStartCommand of other mediaplayer i.e. the music player also gets called.
This means that Activity B is calling Service A, even if both are in different packages.
Code for Music player activity & service
package com.example.musicplayer;
public class MusicPlayerActivity extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
....
Intent service = new Intent(this, MusicService.class);
startService(service);
....
}
}
package com.example.musicplayer;
public class MusicService extends Service {
....
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
Toast.makeText(this, "Music Service onStartCommand()", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); // This gets displayed even in the Stream Activty
return START_STICKY;
}
....
}
Code for stream activity & service:
package com.example.streamplayer;
public class StreamPlayer extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
....
Intent service = new Intent(this, StreamService.class);
service.putExtra("URL", url);
startService(service);
....
}
}
package com.example.streamplayer;
public class StreamService extends Service {
protected void startStream() {
MediaPlayer mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mPlayer.reset();
mPlayer.setDataSource(url);
mPlayer.prepareAsync();
mPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.start();
}
});
}
}
Manifest.xml
Note: in manifest file I've also tried adding to specify which service is for which intent. (Not sure if it works like this only)
<service
android:name=".MusicService"
android:enabled="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.musicplayer.MusicPlayerActivity" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
<service
android:name="com.example.streamplayer.StreamService"
android:enabled="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.streamplayer.StreamService" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
Please suggest how to make sure that the wrong service should not get called?
