I am using AVPlayer to play sound from different sources (including iPod music library). Due to the fact that AVPlayer is more low level AVAudioPlayer I have to handle interruptions myself. Using AVAudioPlayer is not an option!
In the Apple developer documents they mention to either listen AVAudioSessionInterruptionNotificationor setup a listener with AudioSessionInitialize. But when doing so I only receive notifications when the interruption ended, but due to their documents my app should be able to handle both.
I am using the following code to initialize my audio session: (simplified version, removed unimportant lines)
AudioSessionInitialize(NULL, NULL, ARInterruptionListenerCallback, nil);
UInt32 sessionCategory = kAudioSessionCategory_MediaPlayback;
AudioSessionSetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioCategory, sizeof(sessionCategory), &sessionCategory);
AudioSessionSetActive(true);
And here is how the listener looks like:
void ARInterruptionListenerCallback(void *inUserData, UInt32 interruptionState) {
if (interruptionState == kAudioSessionBeginInterruption) {
// Here is the code which is never called...
}
else if (interruptionState == kAudioSessionEndInterruption) {
// But this case will be executed!
}
}
Btw. I am expecting this code executed when there is an interruption like a phone call or similar. Am I misunderstand what Apple declares as interruption?
