I’m making a music player app, and I really wanted the app to work offline, but even though the sound was playing, the timer that I was using for the ‘elapsed timer’ slider didn’t work offline. So basically, I listened to music within the app for 7 seconds, then went to a different app. The sound would still continue playing, but when I entered the app again, it would still show 7 seconds, then 8. So, I decided to stop the music when Back Button Pressed. When I pressed the back button during Live Test, the sound paused but it didn’t close the app/go to the previous screen. What can I do to work around this? I need to either keep the slider running while in a different app or both close the app _and_ pause the music when the back button is pressed. Also, lots of people like me press the home button instead of the back button, and I noticed that the Back Button Pressed code doesn’t work when I press the home button. Any ideas on making at least one thing work? Thanks ---
