Problems with AudioFocus on Android 8.0 (API 26)

See original GitHub issue

Hi, On Android 8.0 (API 26) audio stops as soon as video playout starts. The message in console:

W/AudioManager: Use of stream types is deprecated for operations other than volume control
W/AudioManager: See the documentation of requestAudioFocus() for what to use instead with android.media.AudioAttributes to qualify your playback use case
I/MediaFocusControl:  AudioFocus  requestAudioFocus() from uid/pid 10047/6345 clientId=android.media.AudioManager@96ca3e7com.devbrackets.android.exomedia.ui.widget.VideoView$AudioFocusHelper@8dc5b94 req=1 flags=0x0

It seems that AudioManager API has been changed in Android 8: https://developer.android.com/preview/features/audiofocus.html

Tested only on Android Emulator

Sorry @ivanzhang I don’t remember getting notified of any additional comments on this thread. Looking in to it some more, the audio focus method calls definitely need to be updated; not sure why I was thinking it was only an emulator issue. I’m going to re-open the issue to track updating the AudioFocus
