I have a few audio files in a list. I want user to be able to listen to the audio file and then if they pause and navigate away, when they come back to the app, they can press play and continue where they left off. So the position of the audio file when it was paused is sustained. Can anyone help?

I don’t think this is currently possible. The audio component is re-generated when you re-enter the screen, so it starts from scratch.
