Question

I'm currently using VideoView to play video from URL (Streaming..), when i press home the video stops..

is there a way to make it keep playing?

Whats the best way to make a video keep running in background?

Answer 1

You should use MediaPlayer instead of VideoView.

m = new MediaPlayer();
m.setDatasource(url);
m.prepare();
m.start();
