How to play video and audio on Android Part 2.

Thu, 05/27/2010 - 08:59 | by tamas
SDK Version: 
M3

In this part, I'm going to focus on MediaPlayer. I'm going to show you, how to stop it properly, and how to create a media player more easily.
The default behavior is the same, with every activity, after onPause and onStop, if the activity is not destroyed, it will continue to run in the background, until it is killed so the system can free up the memory it is using. So until the activity is destroyed, the mediaplayer will continue to occupy space in the phones memory.
