Android Question Capture user input from a service

[Azhar]

Hi,

I understand Activity_KeyPress won't work within a service and the same for any modal msgbox etc.
But is there any way an active service can capture user input to do something (in this case, to stop a media file playing)?

I've tried creating an activity with transparent panel but it still fills the whole display and is not transparent.
All I'd want really is a popup message box with a button for the user to press to stop the media file playing.

Thanks,

Try the notification builder library. You can add "buttons" like in Spotify (Play, Stop/Pause, Prev, Next) with it.

Start your service in foreground. So it will play even if the screen is off.

Thanks for that. I'll definitely look into updating my current notification code with this new library. It looks very superior to what I was using before.
