Background music starts when relaunch

Question

I used MediaPlayer in creating background music in my menu game. it seems to work correctly but when I start another activity then going back on menu. the sounds disappear. how can I play it again whenever the menu activity launch?

heres some of my codes:

logoMusic = MediaPlayer.create(NewMainActivity.this, R.raw.onepiece_sound);
logoMusic.start();

then on my pause method:

protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    logoMusic.release();

Answer 1

Use the onRestart method for that.

     @Override
        protected void onRestart() {
            super.onPause();

            logoMusic = MediaPlayer.create(NewMainActivity.this, R.raw.onepiece_sound);
            logoMusic.start();
        }

This will be called only when you go back to the activity, not when you open it for the first time.
