Everytime we instantiate TNSPlayer() it was requesting the audio focus and not abandoning it (until we call
dispose()
which is not always what we want). This is not recommended according to Android documentation and introduces a bug since this is not the expected behaviour.Those issues are facing exactly this bug: #142 #137
Android docs states that a well-behaved audio app should manage audio focus according to these general guidelines:
Therefore this pull request strictly obeys Android docs and fix the problem. It does not break existing code, only introduces the expected behaviour. So anyone can update the package and get the expected behaviour. I have also introduced the possibility to pass the durationHint (default is still AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN) to
TNSPlayer
constructor so we can determine differents behaviors by the system and the other application that previously held audio focus. Refer to the updated README.md .
