Android pick and play audio file

This post describes how to start a Service and stop a Service on Button click.

Create your layout in activity_main.xml. Add a Button button1 to pick audio file, another Button button2 to play audio file, a SeekBar to display the duration of song played, and two TextViews to display the duration and name of audio file.
