Android Question Double music stream volume (two apps two volume levels)

[dsirio75]

Hi, i'm looking for a way to set different music volume stream volume while 2 apps are active: i mean i want to get background music player to run at a certain volume level and active app (for example a game) to run at lowest volume.

So, can i manage same volume stream for two different apps?

Thank you

You can control the different volume streams with the Phone library. If the apps use different streams then it will work. If they use the same stream then you will not be able to control each app volume separately.

Thanks Erel for your reply.
I'm just curious, is this a b4a limitation (with hope for future implementations) or just android limitation?

This is how Android is designed. There are 7 different volume streams. The volume settings affect the streams not the level of any specific app.
