MusicAppJava

Simple streaming music sample using a foreground service with Media3 ExoPlayer so playback continues when the UI is backgrounded.

Features

• Foreground Service with mediaPlayback type
• ExoPlayer streaming an internet radio URL
• MediaSession for system integration
• Ongoing notification with Play/Pause action
• Compose UI (Kotlin) with simple button

How to Run

1. Open in Android Studio (Hedgehog+ recommended).
2. Let Gradle sync (AGP 8.x, Kotlin 2.0, compileSdk 36).
3. Run on a device / emulator with internet access (API 31+ due to minSdk).
4. Tap Play to start stream. Press Home: audio continues, notification shows controls.

Notes / Next Steps

• Replace test stream URL with your own stream (HLS / MP3) in MusicForegroundService.ensurePlayer().
• Add audio focus handling and noisy (becoming noisy) broadcast for headphones removal.
• Add proper state flow from Service to UI instead of polling (e.g., MutableStateFlow).
• Add MediaStyle large icon and metadata updates.
• Support playback controls via Bluetooth / car by expanding MediaSession callbacks.
