OnStop() does not affect MediaPlayer
<p>I have a mediaplayer object inside an activity that plays from mp3 files situated in the res/raw folder. The </p>

<pre><code>MediaPlayer.create(Context context, int resid)
</code></pre>

<p>method is used to create and return a mediaPlayer object to play this track.</p>

<p>What I have noticed is that when the activity is obscured by another activity and hence the "onStop()" method is called , the music continues to play. Can anyone explain why this occurs? I though that onStop would essentially freeze any actions taking place by objects associated with the activity, except for services etc</p>
