Playing music files in Android

I have a list of music files that should be played with my Android application. Actually user selects a list of files to be played for a specified time, and then clicks on 'start button'. Please tell me how I can implement it so that the following requirements are met:

  1. The program should work, even if power button is pressed or the display is turned off.
  2. Music files should be played one by one.

To play audio files, you can use Android's MediaPlayer class.

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource(audioFilePath);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();

This code snippet will load and play a single audio file. Take a look at the documentation for MediaPlayer to figure out how you might be able to leverage it for what you're trying to accomplish specifically.

In order that the music continue after your application activities exit, you need to implement the playing itself as a Service (specifically, a started service). For playing the music, take a look at MediaPlayer. There is a discussion of using a MediaPlayer in a Service in the Media Player guide topic.
