How to implement react-native-track-player ?

[GaylordP]

Hello :)

Thanks you very much for your library.

You mention in your documentation react-native-track-player in order to be able to work correctly on iOS.

But I can't find an example of an implementation. I read this issue correctly but I think it is a bit incomplete.

I searched the internet a lot (especially in all github looking for the react-native-track-player package) without finding an answer.

If I use your example, how would you implement react-native-track-player ?

const taskRandom = async (taskData) => {
  if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
      console.warn(
          'This task will not keep your app alive in the background by itself, use other library like react-native-track-player that use audio,',
          'geolocalization, etc. to keep your app alive in the background while you excute the JS from this library.'
      );
  }
  await new Promise(async (resolve) => {
      // For loop with a delay
      const { delay } = taskData;
      console.log(BackgroundJob.isRunning(), delay)
      for (let i = 0; BackgroundJob.isRunning(); i++) {
          console.log('Runned -> ', i);
          await BackgroundJob.updateNotification({ taskDesc: 'Runned -> ' + i });
          await sleep(delay);
      }
  });
};

Thanks you very much and sorry for my bad english, I'm french :)

@GaylordP, expanding the example would be:

const taskRandom = async (taskData) => {
  if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
      console.warn(
          'This task will not keep your app alive in the background by itself, use other library like react-native-track-player that use audio,',
          'geolocalization, etc. to keep your app alive in the background while you excute the JS from this library.'
      );
  }
  
await new Promise((resolve) => {
        // Playing listeners
        const listenerChange = TrackPlayer.addEventListener('playback-state', (newState) => {
            // Do stuff
            if (newState.state === TrackPlayer.STATE_PLAYING) {
                // What to do when the play button is pressed
            } else if (newState.state === TrackPlayer.STATE_PAUSED) {
                // What to do when the pause button is pressed
            }
        });
    });
};

Thanks for your reply :)

I'm sorry (maybe I don't understand because my English is bad) but this example is incomplete right ?

I that adding these few lines in the original code of this example does make it work, is something missing ?

Thanks you in adavance

@GaylordP, there is a lot more configuration needed for react-native-track-player to work. However, this is outside the scope of this library, you may want to ask this in their repository.
