control audio play in background

Question

I have a tablewview and by click a table row a subview appear as player and play audio in my app . I added play in background mode and controls it while in background , it works .

The problem I have is , when I move to another view (exactly when the subview being disappear) I can't control or stop the audio.

how can I let the controls keep detect the audio playing while I'm in any other views of my app? also how can I let the subview appear when I back to my view again to allow stop or show the progress status?

I hope anybody can help

Answer 1

You will have to keep a Strong reference to your view, or, at least, to your object currently playing a sound.

I'll suggest using a protocol between viewControllers to let the parent view controller catch the reference before dismissing the view containing the player.

You'll find much more explanation at Ray Wenderlich website's Audio playing tutorial.
