Hey guys!
I would like to indicate an improvement.
I use the app in my car's head unit and frequently switch between the radio app and GoneMAD, the issue is that GoneMAD does not automatically resume play when the app comes to the foreground, only if it is opened again.
All resume playing options are checked in the settings in my app, yet it doesn't automatically resume playing when it comes back to the foreground.
Would it be possible to add an option to resume play when the app returns to the foreground?
Congratulations on the development of the application, it is by far the best Android player option.

you could likely automate this with those automation tools like tasker. It should know when an app goes into the foreground and can send the play command

i have years worth of requests and planned work ahead of me.. niche requests are not really being considered at this time especially when there are plenty of viable alternatives

I have an intermediate knowledge of programming and I imagine that implementing this would require nothing more than a few lines of code activated through a checkbox... Anyway, I imagine that there are many requests and that finding time for all the requests is complicated. I would be happy if at some point you can consider this. Thank you for your attention. |

It would also take you only a few minutes to set up in something like tasker (or any of those automated tool apps). GMMP already has a large list of intents it supports to allow external apps / scripts to control it. gonemadmusicplayer.blogspot.com/p/control-intents.htmlhttps://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/2ryhh4/help_trigger_a_task_when_i_open_an_app/ tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/help/eh_app_changed.htmlhttps://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/brd8lr/dev_tasker_580beta_app_changed_event_app_info/ |

Anyway, this is a very simple function and essential for the user experience in head units, so the proper hand is to really implement this option in the application. Using another application to run something simple like this is totally unoptimized For now, I will opt for another player, since this function is essential for the day to day. If you find time to tweak this, please let me know, that way I'll get back to using the app. I believe that this simple function can benefit many users and open up even more market for your app. Thank you for your attention. |

No plans on implementing anything like this in the immediate future. Sorry. I work on this app as a hobby and at this point unless its something i want to work on or is largely in demand by the userbase.. its not likely to get done. My spare time is valuable (even if it is likely only a few hours of work/testing). I only get a handful of hours a month for android dev and have multiple projects. I did add something to the request list on trello trello.com/c/Nphb5314/2116-auto-play-when-app-takes-focus and if you do look at the board there isnt exactly a lack of requests to be worked on trello.com/b/JCyp2kas/gonemad-music-player-developmentI know there are plenty of GMMP users that use it with no issue in their cars and i know you can typically get auto resume on car start up done simply by putting a widget on the home screen and turning on the always resume / auto resume for power on/off. That wouldnt work for the case of switching apps however |
