Platforms affected
On iOS, I only added a
startPlayingAudioInBackground
that's a proxy tostartPlayingAudio
because the latter already plays the audio in a background thread.Motivation and Context
Playing audio in a separate thread on Android greatly improved the performance of our apps.
Description
I added
Media.prototype.playInBackground
to the javascript interface.I added the method
startPlayingAudioInBackground
to both Android and iOS native interfaces.Testing
The changes are pretty minimal. I installed the plugin in a new cordova project and tested it manually.
