[SOLVED] Radio Stream stops when device goes to sleep mode

Radio Stream stops when device goes to sleep mode

I have simple app with background service that play radio stream with media player but the media player stops 2-3 min after i lock my phone...

Code for my background service:

public class ServiceMusic extends Service {
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
    if (mediaPlayer != null) {
        if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
            mediaPlayer.release();
            mediaPlayer = null;
        }
    }

    mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
    try {
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(this, Uri.parse("http://188.40.62.20:8014"));
        mediaPlayer.prepare();
    }catch (IOException e){
        Log.e("---------------","---------------------: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid) {
    mediaPlayer.start();
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    mediaPlayer.stop();
}

i have writen in onCreate but it still stops...

PowerManager powerManager = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);
WakeLock wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK,"MyWakelockTag");
wakeLock.acquire();

then i added to mediaPlayer awake mode but this doesent help too

mediaPlayer.setWakeMode(getApplicationContext(), PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK);

and to i added permission WAKE_LOCK to android manifest file...

i hope someone can help me.

Solution

If you are not using foreground service to run background task, then it is possible that service might get destroyed with activity, which also happens when device get lock, have a look on this answer it might help in your case:

Cannot keep android service alive after app is closed
