Audio From Webview in Background

[spiderguy84]

My app has a simple webview that populates from a podcast xml. When you click on the episode, it is simply a link to the .mp3 and starts playing the audio from within the webview. This seems to be a bit different than the scenarios in which they give for playing audio in the background of an app. What would be the best way to get mine to continue to play audio in background?

Check out: Audio Streamer

I used this to develop a radio app. As long as the audio file is hosted somewhere, then you can stream it.

I see. What you need to do is kick off a background task. This thread on Stack Overflow shows a good example of starting/stopping a bg task.
