OpenEars listening while app is in background – Politepix /forums/topic/openears-listening-while-app-is-in-background/feed/ Tue, 23 Apr 2024 14:55:51 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.9 en-US /forums/topic/openears-listening-while-app-is-in-background/#post-8572 <![CDATA[OpenEars listening while app is in background]]> /forums/topic/openears-listening-while-app-is-in-background/#post-8572 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:41:32 +0000 jdkaire First of all I have to say that OpenEars works amazing. Just by following the tutorial you are able to include it in your app easily and it just works.

I just have one question…Is there a way to have OpenEars still listening while the app is on the background? I mean, when the user switches to another app or presses the home button but doesn’t close mine…

Thanks a lot!

Joe

Nope, sorry, this isn’t possible. I haven’t pursued it because I don’t think it’s background behavior that Apple intends to accept. Thanks for being straightforward about it though, since it’s frustrating when people ask for this feature under the guise of asking for a different feature.

I have searched everywhere and couldn’t find the answer. So, that’s why I decided to get directly to the point and ask you. At least now I know for sure.

Thanks again,

Joe

It depends on what sort of background app you may already have running. It is not possible to keep OpenEars going all on its own, but if your app is one of the 3 apple background apps (voip, audio, or location) then OpenEars will continue as active and listening.

It’s been a few versions though, I can believe it’s changed.

I did make some changes to the AudioSessionManager however that might be making this possible specifically kAudioSessionProperty_OverrideCategoryMixWithOthers.

When it goes to background, iOS shows “fancy” red navigation bar as OpenEars keeps recording. I am using for continued iPod control, but an easy test is to fire local notifications on specific word/phrase recognition.

thanks guys

The app uses Flite to speak GPS values like speed. If I set the “Required background modes” to “App registers for location updates” (i.e. one of the three cases for background operation) then the GPS part of my app continues to work in the background, but Flite does not. Is there any way to get Flite to work in the background?

Register app in required background modes as “App plays audio” as well
