Hi everyone, I have some questions about WebView that should be simple for most of you. I have an Android app that uses a WebView to display a webpage with a flash music player on it. When the app is shut down the music stops playing and I want it to keep playing while going to other apps until the user hits the pause/stop button on the flash player.
How can I get this music to keep playing in the background as the users exit the app?
The app reloads the page everytime it is re-opened and I think this might have something to do with the above question.. I want it to save everything the user was doing (ie. the url they were at when pushing the home button and the song that they had open/playing)
Thanks for the help!
Bump.. Anyone?

Final bump.. no one has tried this? Sorry but I have been hard at working trying to figure this out.
Hey guys..
I was trying to get my dock/home screen customized and messed up and accidentally deleted the app drawer icon. With other ROMs, I'd just long press and re-add it but when I long press now, my only options are customizing wallpapers.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I live in Canada and have been using Google Play Music cloud storage since forever (with the tricky method listed here)
Since I updated to version 4.2, artist and album art have disappeared, along with the settings concerning downloading and streaming music (see attached thumbnails below).
Am I the only one that have been getting this ? Is it region specific ? Is there a turnaroud, other than downgrading to a previous version, to regain what was lost ?

I have the same problem and I live in Germany. I switched to a previous version and wait for a bugfix from Google.
Best regards,
Christoph
Same problem here on Nexus 7 2013 just happened yesterday. I uninstalled went back to previous version and all is good now. I also live in Canada.
Hey, same issue here, in Canada. If you tap the connect to google play using (Insert Gmail account here) the options will return, perhaps with the album art, but it will likely happen again. I think there's a bug with the account system. Also, is anyone else having difficulties with the download queue option? It crashes the app for me.

I'm having the same problem with album art in Canada. Plus, it seems not to sync any new music after the initial sync. I hope this isn't Google locking out international users. I use my Play Music cloud storage every day and I'd hate to have to find another app.
Yeah, just checked, if you aren't seeing album art, go to settings and tap connect with (Insert your gmail account address here), and it should fix it. Hopefully this gets fixed soon, and we get Play Music in more countries (Like Canada).

Thanks for the tip. This fixed the art issues and enabled me to create instant mixes again (which I had also noticed was gone). Is this something that I need to do regularly now? Are there issues with sync/pinning music to my device?
Definitely some issues up with international (mostly Canadians so far) accounts utilizing Play Music when we "shouldn't" be it would appear. They really need to start getting their service into the North!

There shouldn't be any issues with synchronizing music, as far as I can tell. As to how often you'll have to do this, no idea, but whenever it happens you will probably notice that most of the options in the left side menu are gone. Just log back in and everything should be groovy.
Maybe this is happening because Google is setting up to launch Play Music in Canada? I certainly hope so.

Are you saying this permanently fixes it? Or just fixes it as far as you can tell?

Down here in the Caribbean I'm having the same issue. I'm on a Galaxy S3 i9300 running CM 10.2. It started after I updated to the latest version. I tried clearing the app data, rebooting and even removing and readding my Google account to the device. Nothing I've tried fixes it permanently.
Yeah, neither is a permanent fix, so we just have to work with what we've got until it gets fixed. Sucks, but it's better than nothing.

Still works, so seems like a permanent fix.

Hello!
I have a similar issue (using this custom ROM), but this is only for some of the albums, some uploaded by me and some from the all access catalog, maybe half of my library is showing the album art correctly, including uploaded and google catalog tracks, although in the browser client all of them are displayed fine. I'll try going back to stock, but it would be really helpful if you could provide me some other suggestions before doing that. I reached Google helpdesk, and they gave me following instructions, but none of them helped me, hopefully someone may find them helpful:
First, try refreshing your library in the Google Play Music application, by going to Menu > Refresh and also verify that the app is set to display 'All music':
At the top of the page for the Listen Now, My Library, and Playlists sections you'll see either "All music" or "On device" under the name of the section.
If 'On device' is displayed, tap the triangle and select 'All music.'
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please confirm that you've set the Google Play Music app to sync:
Return to your device's Home screen and go to: Menu > Settings > Accounts & sync.
Confirm that 'Auto-sync' is enabled (box should be checked).
Directly below the Auto-sync option, be sure the account you'd like synced with Google Play is checked.
Touch the Google Account you're using with Google Play.
Enable 'Sync Music' (if available). If it's not available, please follow the rest of the steps, leaving Auto-sync enabled.
On newer devices the steps may be slightly different:
Return to your device's Home screen and go to: Menu > Settings > Accounts.
Select the type of account that you're using with Google Play Music.
Select the specific account that you're using.
Make sure the box next to Google Play Music is checked.
Finally, if your music still doesn't display after confirming that the Music app is syncing, try clearing the Google Play Music app's data and cache:
From the device's home screen, go to Menu > Settings > Apps > 'All' tab.
Select 'Google Play Music' from the list of apps.
Tap 'Clear data' and 'Clear cache.' Note: After doing so, the app will need to re-sync with your Google Play music library for your music to appear. This may take a few minutes.
Here are a few more simple steps that can usually resolve issues with the Google Play Music app. It looks like you've already tried a few of these in the past but I'd like for you to try them once again to see if anything helps. Please let me know if this changes anything for you.
* Power off your device and turn it back on. In many cases, restarting the device resolves issues with an application.
* Clearing the Google Play Music app's data:
1. From the device's home screen, press Menu > Settings > Application Manager > 'All' tab
2. Select Google Play Music from the list of apps
3. Press 'Clear data'
Note: After doing so, the app will need to re-sync with your Google Play music library for your music to appear. This may take a few minutes.
* Uninstall and reinstall the app update:
1. From your device's home screen, press Menu > Settings > Application Manager > 'All' tab
2. Select Google Play Music from the list of apps
3. Press 'Uninstall updates'
4. Open the Play Store app and search for "Google Play Music". Install the Google Play Music app update then reboot your device.

Do you think this is related to the region of the ROM? I tried some EU based custom rom, and it showed all the album art fine, but I'm having this issue with this ROM
How did you get the cloud storage? I'm canadian, I live in Québec and I can't find this feature on my 2 devices (Asus TF300T and HTC Amaze 4G) ... When I try to access the Play Music web site, the message on the page is "The Google Play music player is currently available in select territories.". Anybody have solution ?
Thx !
Google music outsite US
Basically, you have to make Google servers "think" you "actually" are in US territory to activate the service. Just google "Google music outsite US", you'll find lots of strategies, ex : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757991

The phone arrived yesterday, I started exploring the interface and I noticed a few issues. Most importantly, I couldn't see notifications on the lock screen like the one from a music app that lets you pause, skip a track and so on. Only after unlocking the phone I'd see the notifications. I tried finding a solution in the settings but after changing some stuff (probably) nothing happened. Then, while doing nothing at all, just locked the phone using power button, opened it and boom, there was a notification from my music app (Shuttle). I repeated this to make sure im not dreaming and after changing a track in the app, the notification no longer appeared. I used google to help me find an answer & all I understood so far is that I have to go in the advanced settings, find the so called "Battery Manager" and disable some app profiles. It was said that by default the app's notifications on the lockscreen are blocked for power saving and by changing these profiles and also tweak some stuff in "Notification & status bar" tab would fix it. I said okay lets do it, but I went in advanced settings and there's no Battery Manager.. and it didnt show up in search either. Is my system outdated? (Side note: I'm a noob when it comes to phones, so I can't possibly pull the correct conclusions here, just saying) I'll include some info from "About phone" tab at the end of this article if that helps. Moving on to the next issue: Can't play video.
My "Can't play video" issue occured when I tried to play a video from within the default gallery app, a video that I recorded a few moments prior. Google didn't help so I downloaded a gallery app after several attempts on more freshly recorded videos, and after installing, the videos would play normally in the new gallery app. I headed back to the default one and on an attempt to play a video, it actually worked now. That's weird. Out of curiousity of what would happen, I uninstalled the gallery app from earlier, leaving me with the phone's default one, tried to play a video and got the same message as in the beginning: "Cannot play video". Out of curiousty once again, I re-installed a gallery app (same one as before) but didn't open it. I headed straight to the default one, tried to play a video and the result was different this time. It said "Error" or something of the sort. Hopefully that info will let you pros figure out the problem.
My "about phone" tab info:
Model Nr: EDI-AL10
EMUI ver. :5.0.1
Android 7.0
Thanks for reading & I'm looking forward to your answers
Edit: Fixed one of the 3 issues I had. Still need some help though, anything, any idea will help.
