React native app detect background apps activity

Question

I want to achieve this scenario: when user opnened my app, then he play a song in Spotify, my app can get title of the song. Is it possible to build an app like that with react native?

Answer 1

You can try without any library. Just using the Spotify API to capture the user current song.

If you want to have always update in your state, try to create a listener function that in times request to this spotify API.
