How to play or resume music of another music player from my code
android, android-audiomanager, android-music-player, resume
Solution
Here is what I have discovered after testing these.
I have tried and verified these commands to work just fine.
// pause
Intent i = new Intent("com.android.music.musicservicecommand");
i.putExtra("command", "pause");
sendBroadcast(i);
// play
Intent i = new Intent("com.android.music.musicservicecommand");
i.putExtra("command", "play");
sendBroadcast(i);
// next
Intent i = new Intent("com.android.music.musicservicecommand");
i.putExtra("command", "next");
sendBroadcast(i);
// previous
Intent i = new Intent("com.android.music.musicservicecommand");
i.putExtra("command", "previous");
sendBroadcast(i);
Some more info about available commands:
public static final String SERVICECMD = "com.android.music.musicservicecommand";
public static final String CMDNAME = "command";
public static final String CMDTOGGLEPAUSE = "togglepause";
public static final String CMDSTOP = "stop";
public static final String CMDPAUSE = "pause";
public static final String CMDPLAY = "play";
public static final String CMDPREVIOUS = "previous";
public static final String CMDNEXT = "next";

Problem
In my Android app I want to play or resume the played music after I pause it. I got my app to pause the music by sending a broadcast, but I can't get it to play or resume the music. Here is the code to pause: ``` Intent i = new Intent("com.android.music.musicservicecommand"); i.putExtra("command", "pause"); sendBroadcast(i); ```
