Music control in android app?

Question

Android

What is the best way to implement so that when switching to a new activity, the music does not stop, and then when returning to the activity, it does not start again, i.e. to make it so that during the transitions between activities (back and forth and vice versa) the music is played without stopping?

Answer 1

For example, a service might handle network transactions, play music, perform file I/O, or interact with a content provider, all from the background.

Answer 2

And unless without Service to not make in any way? using only MediaPlayer?
