Wowza SDK Android not resume streaming after application coming background to foreground

Wowza GoCoder SDK
1

Hello,

I am using Wowza SDK for Android.

I have an issue when I am streaming and the app goes in background.

When the app comes to the foreground. Streaming not resumed.

Is Woza android SDK support Streaming resumed feature because it exists on IOS SDK?

Thanks for the question @Frederick Ackroyd. you are correct that we do support this in iOS, but unfortunately this is not yet supported in our Android SDK. We are working on it though and will update you when it is ready.

Hi @Rose Power-Wowza Community Manager,

Waiting for your reply.

Hi @Frederick Ackroyd, good to hear from you. I wish I had better news for you as the background/foreground issue was corrected in the latest iOS SDK release, but not yet for the Android SDK.

I’m sorry I don’t have a date on this being released in the Android SDK.

Hi Kristina and Frederick,

GoCoder works in the same way of any other player/broadcaster in Android.

You have to manage your own activity/fragment lifecycle and stop the media in onStop() and resume (if playing) in onResume().

For more information, please refer to:

Let me know if you have any questions
