Android Music player in Kotlin

Question

I have developed a music player app in kotlin language. At present when I start another app's song, my app's song is also playing. both songs are playing simultaneously. I would like to add a functionality where the song should stop automatically when another app's media (audio/video) starts playing. How to add this functionality. What concept is behind it? Any hint or suggestion would be appreciated. thanks

You can take a look at this Documentation, https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media-apps/audio-focus#audio-focus-change. where you will be given the option to add listener in the AudioFocusRequest Builder to listen to Audio Focus Event and add your callback there. alternatively ExoPlayer Library gives you the option to handle Audio Focus automatically on setAudioAttributes method on its Player implementation
