Android - Create lock screen audio player

Question

I created an android app that has a streaming audio. I need to create an audio player on the lock screen to continue running in the background. What is the best option for this? Should I create a widget?

Answer 1

For android 4.2 and above you can use the official lock screen widget which is documented over here - App Widget

And there is already a thread present which contains some discussion if the version is below 4.2 : Android Lock Screen Widget
