Adding lines such as: AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE); int result = audioManager.requestAudioFocus(this, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN); if (result != AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN) { return; //Failed to gain audio focus } Before playing any … Read more
