Hello friends, I'm new on this forum. I started developing on android. I'd like to know how to choose next song on the music player from my application. I want that my application change the current song, or pause no matter what music player I am using. Any idea?

Maybe dissect whatever music player source code to find out how exactely they are changing songs, pause etc from inside itself and try to implement that same function from your code. I don't know much about Java (I'm a Python nut) but I assume you are using Java for your program and most apps are Java.
Maybe you could "import" (or whatever the Java term is for importing a pre-existing class) from the music player apps and use them in conjunction with your code. I'm also new to Android developement but I use Python

[Q] Alphabetic playlist in music player?

Hello, guys!
How do you make an alphabetic playlist on your music player? Because the in build player of the Mini makes a complete mess from the files. No alphabetic order. I like to store all my music files in 1 single folder from where to play them. And I didn't have such problem with my previous SE java based phones.
Recently I read a topic on the net, to use Astro File manager to create a playlist, but there are a few files, that remain unordered every time. They go at the end of the playlist although their names have "a" or "b" or "c" at the beginning. So what player do you use, guys?
And one more question - is there any nice player, that has an equalizer and is able to do proper playlists?
Thanks for help in advance!

Some media players let you select the folder you want to listen to (and auto selects subfolders [unless you add a file like .nomedia].
Mort player does that (stupid name, but it's a good player). Guy has been developing it since back in the windows mobile days.

[Q] Searching for a Jukebox App

Hello everyone,
I'm searching for an Android app ( Tablet ) wich I want to use for a party.
What I'm searching for:
Jukebox,
that everybody can use to search songs, but can't skip the running song.
Selected songs go in the queue.
Music source Device or Cloud, Spotify etc. if possible.
The main point about this is, to have a locked musicplayer with wich you can only select songs to go in the Queue.
Probably with an understandable design, like Apples Coverflow etc.
Anybody an idea?

is there a way to do this, without any programming skills?
Thnx.

[Q] Stupid question: Podcasts??

I apologize for the simple question, but the guides do NOT cover it. I can copy music to my "Music" folder and the music appears in the stock Music app (as well as DoubleTwist), for example. But if I copy a podcast file to "Podcasts" directory it does not appear in the default player.
How do i get this to work? The default player has no mechanism for downloading and it seems like the Podcasts directory would be the most logical place! DoubleTwist is great for playback and downloading, but in a perfect world I could use the podcasts in any player just like i can with music. Since the built-in Music app supports avrcp 1.3, I can see playback info on my BT head unit, so I'd love to have that.
Anybody figured this out? it feels like such a stupid question.
one last note: i am NOT stock, I am running Revolution HD 8.0, though this SHOULDN'T matter? Maybe something IS broken there, but in my searches elsewhere I don't see anybody else asking this question.
refresh the media library after you copy music to your device
OK, I finally got the podcasts to show up by creating a sub-directory "Podcasts" in the "Music" directory. I was hoping to get clever and create a symbolic link between the music player source and DoubleTwist (or another podcast app) so the default player would pick it up, but that doesn't seem to be an option on this phone
Thanks!
