"Pause" not changing to "Play" on song completion?

Am I missing something in my code, or is the Play/Pause button not working correctly when the the song ends (onCompletion runs stopSelf() in onStartCommand)?

Hey Robin!

Nope, you're not missing anything; our code doesn't handle that case. Here's a question from another student that has a solution though: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/how-do-i-notify-the-mainactivity-when-the-song-completes

Yeah, I noticed the solution suggested in the comments at the end of the course, so I got the play/pause button to work yesterday :)

Thanks for the heads-up though, and definitely great job covering some of the more difficult stuff in Android!
