control same avaudioplayer each tab?

[oztemel]

Hi I would like to control avaudioplayer in tabbar app. just one player and control that from each tab. how is it possible? like a background music. I would start player in first tab and jump to third tab etc.. pause the audio or jump to next song etc...

I don't know where can I start..

Do you have any suggestion / sample code ?

I would just add the audio player as an ivar of your app delegate. The app delegate can be accessed from anywhere so you can also access your audio player.

Just add an ivar to your app delegate, create a property for it, and initialize it in appDidFinishLaunching. Then you can get your app delegate via UIApplication. UIApplication is a singleton object which means only one instance exists at any one time. You get this shared instance by calling sharedApplication.

UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];

A UIApplication object has a delegate.

UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
YourAppDelegateClassName *appDelegate = app.delegate;
AVAudioPlayer *player = appDelegate.globalAudioPlayer;

Hope that helps. All you need to do is add an ivar, create a property for it, and initialize it in appDidFinishLaunching. If you don't know what a property is, look at Brian Slick's guide to properties, you can find the link in his signature.
