I’m using Ionic 3 + Ionic Native Media + Ionic Native Music Controls but music controls doesn’t works. Clicking Play / Pause using Music Controls (on LockedScreen/ControlCenter) nothing happen. Media streaming works well.
I’m testing it on iOS (10.3 / 11) simulator and device, and on Android (5.1) tablet.
I’ve installed all cordova plugins required, of course.
I’ve switched ON the ‘Audio’ option in Capabilities -> ‘Background Modes’ using XCODE 9.
I’ve created a minimal ionic blank app from ionic starter, with Media stream (works) and Music Controls (not works), it’s available on github for testing :
Home.html
play file!
pause file!
Home.ts
import { Component } from ‘@angular/core’;
import { NavController } from ‘ionic-angular’;
import { Media, MediaObject } from ‘@ionic-native/media’;
import { MusicControls } from ‘@ionic-native/music-controls’;
@Component({
selector: 'page-home',
templateUrl: 'home.html'
})
export class HomePage {
file: MediaObject;
constructor(private musicControls: MusicControls, private media: Media, public navCtrl: NavController) {
}
play(){
this.file = this.media.create('https://archive.org/download/db2007-05-20.rm.flac16/db2007-05-20d1t01.mp3');
this.file.play();
this.musicControls.destroy(); // it's the same with or without the destroy
this.musicControls.create({
track : 'Test track', // optional, default : ''
artist : 'test artist', // optional, default : ''
cover : '', // optional, default : nothing
// cover can be a local path (use fullpath 'file:///storage/emulated/...', or only 'my_image.jpg' if my_image.jpg is in the www folder of your app)
// or a remote url ('http://...', 'https://...', 'ftp://...')
isPlaying : true, // optional, default : true
dismissable : true, // optional, default : false
// hide previous/next/close buttons:
hasPrev : false, // show previous button, optional, default: true
hasNext : false, // show next button, optional, default: true
hasClose : true, // show close button, optional, default: false
// iOS only, optional
album : 'test album', // optional, default: ''
duration : 0, // optional, default: 0
elapsed : 0, // optional, default: 0
hasSkipForward : true, // show skip forward button, optional, default: false
hasSkipBackward : true, // show skip backward button, optional, default: false
skipForwardInterval: 15, // display number for skip forward, optional, default: 0
skipBackwardInterval: 15, // display number for skip backward, optional, default: 0
// Android only, optional
// text displayed in the status bar when the notification (and the ticker) are updated
ticker : 'Now playing test'
});
this.musicControls.subscribe().subscribe(action => {
function events(action) {
console.log('action', action);
const message = JSON.parse(action).message;
switch(message) {
case 'music-controls-pause':
console.log('musc pause'); // not work
this.pause();
break;
case 'music-controls-play':
console.log('music play'); // not work
case 'music-controls-destroy':
// Do something
break;
default:
break;
}
}
this.musicControls.listen(); // activates the observable above
this.musicControls.updateIsPlaying(true);
});
}
pause(){
this.file.pause();
}
}
