How to fix DAB+ sound issue played in background

Get the feedback and the modified from Joying Customer, he did a very Good Job, Nice !

Hello Candy,

regarding

DAB+1V1-20160801Sofia.apk and DAB+ audio stuttering/distortions when DAB App is running in background,

especially when another CPU intensive App is starting like a Navigation App.

I previously shared this video https://youtu.be/SYGb5irbi8k and your engineers also confirmed it.

I solved the problem by modifying the DAB+ App. You can find it in the XDA forum here:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71794019&postcount=159

I hope you could forward the solution to the company/engineers that develop the DAB+ App (com.ex.dabplayer.pad):

The solution to allow the DAB audio being heard without any problems, even when the DAB+ App is in the background is documented in the Android developers documentation:

“Running a service in the foreground” https://developer.android.com/guide/components/services.html#Foreground

At a glance:

The Player activity should use startService for the DABService before it binds to it.

The DABService should in its onStartCommand create a Notification and then call startForeground with this Notification and then return START_STICKY

Using this method above ensures that Android gives enough resources (CPU and memory) also in background mode to the DABService.

Best regards,

XXX
