MediaPlayer | A DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Player | Media library

You appear to be using a Linux OS, try passing one or more of these system properties when you start your JVM:

found some answers to my own question, sharing with community

6-sec auto-switch mode is a new feature in Android 12, which works only if (mode == AudioSystem.MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION) (check out flow related to MSG_CHECK_MODE_FOR_UID flag). This should help for MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION set to AudioManager and left after app exit, this was messing with global/system-level audio routing. There is also a brand new AudioManager.OnModeChangedListener called when mode is (auto-)changing

and setSpeakerphoneOn turns out to be deprecated, even if this isn't marked in doc... we have new method setCommunicationDevice(AudioDeviceInfo) and in its description we have info about startBluetoothSco(), stopBluetoothSco() and setSpeakerphoneOn(boolean) deprecation. I'm using all three methods and now on Android 12 I'm iterating through getAvailableCommunicationDevices(), comparing type of every item and if desired type found I'm calling setCommunicationDevice(targetAudioDeviceInfo). I'm NOT switching audio mode at all now, staying on MODE_NORMAL. All my streams are AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL type (where applicable)

for built-in earpiece audio playback aka. "ear-friendly mode" we were using

Yes! 🎉 However, it only works if the audio session is created with the allowBluetoothA2DP option (according to @RobNapier above). It is an output-only profile, therefore it does not route input from the Bluetooth devices at all.

A2DP is a stereo, output-only profile intended for higher bandwidth audio use cases, such as music playback. The system automatically routes to A2DP ports if you configure an app’s audio session to use the ambient, soloAmbient, or playback categories.

Starting with iOS 10.0, apps using the playAndRecord category may also allow routing output to paired Bluetooth A2DP devices. To enable this behavior, pass this category option when setting your audio session’s category.

You can make it work with a bare-bones sound manager something like below.

You are using navigation architecture components, so the navController is the one that should control fragment transactions, you are doing that right with BottomNavigationView.

But within the navDrawer you are doing the transaction through the supportFragmentManager which should be done through the navController instead as both handle the navigation differently.

whenever I select an option on the menu(say settings), it displays the contents of the option along with the bottom navigation view

That is because the BottomNavView is a part of the activity, and you need to move it to a fragment; this requires to change the navigation design of your app; to do that change your app navigation like the below:

Main navigation:

register receiver like this:

Pafy its very usefull tool if you want to extract information about youtube video like, retrieve metadata such as viewcount, duration, rating, author, thumbnail, keywords or Download video or audio at requested resolution. But it doesnt work(at least untill now) to play a video. If you want to play a Yt video inside your code use it:

Your activity is getting stopped or destroyed and that's why your timer gets stuck. To keep the timer running even if the app is closed or killed, see this way:-

You can use this technique to detect how long the user was inactive (even when the app is in the background).

1. Create a SharedPreference & its Editor object. Then declare 3 long variables such:

Don't forget that Play() is not a synchronous method as you might expect. It is a method that posts a stop message to a background thread, and only then starts to play the media.

When you're executing your IsStartingOrPlaying() method right after, chances are that the state is not the one that you might have expected, thus calling the second Play()

General feedback on your code.

• Keep track of the mediaplayer as long as you are using it, and dispose it when you're done.
• Don't dispose LibVLC while you're using it.
• Integrate each mediaplayer with a view, right now you're just calling play on mediaplayers who don't have a drawing target. LibVLC will create random windows to draw on then. Probably not what you want.

Now, playing your stream in the VLC desktop app with logs open will provide some insights:
