Keeping MediaController on the screen in a VideoView
I have trouble finding a way to keep the MediaController on the screen when using it with a VideoView. I want to play an Aud开发者_StackOverflow社区io file which is located in res/raw in my app. The file is playing but I would like to keep the controller on the screen for the user to see the length of the file and how much time is left before the end etc. I found many time on forums that we should use the method .show(time) in order to do that, but I cannot figure out how to make it work.
Here is the code I am using:
package com.sample.VideoViewExample;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class VideoViewExample extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
private VideoView mVideoView;
private MediaController mMedia;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
//mVideoView.getHolder().addCallback(this);
//mMedia.show(50000);
//mVideoView.setMediaController(mMedia);
MediaController mMedia = new MediaController(this);
mMedia.setMediaPlayer(mVideoView);
mMedia.setAnchorView(mVideoView);
mVideoView.setMediaController(mMedia);
mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() +"/"+R.raw.osa_patient));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.start();
}
@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mMedia.show(500000);
}
@Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
When I add the line mVideoView.getHolder().addCallback(this); the app bug, I am not sure why.
Any help or alternative to what I would like to do is more than welcome :)
Thanks, JB
this worked for me. Just extend the media controller class. And override the hide method.
MediaController mediaController = new MyMediaController(this, true);
public class MyMediaController extends MediaController {
public MyMediaController(Context context, boolean useFastForward) {
super(context, useFastForward);
}
@Override
public void hide() {
mediaController.show(0);
}
}
Ok I have found! After spending hours on it!! So there is to my knowledge no clue on how to do it on the different forums. Here is a trick I found:
FIRST CLASS (example...)
package com.sample.VideoViewExample;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class VideoViewExample extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
private VideoView mVideoView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
mVideoView.setKeepScreenOn(true);
Window window = getWindow();
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
SurfaceHolder holder = mVideoView.getHolder();
holder.addCallback(this);
MediaController_2 mMedia = new MediaController_2(this);
mMedia.setMediaPlayer(mVideoView);
mMedia.setAnchorView(mVideoView);
mVideoView.setMediaController(mMedia);
mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() +"/"+R.raw.osa_patient));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.start();
}
@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
@Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
SECOND CLASS (WITH THE TRICK)
package com.sample.VideoViewExample;
import android.content.Context;
import android.widget.MediaController;
public class MediaController_2 extends MediaController{
public MediaController_2(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public void hide() {
}
}
the trick is just to create a new MediaController that extends Mediacontroller and which function hide() does nothing!
If you want to have a look at the MediaController source code for a better understanding, you can look here: // source code for MediaController http://hi-android.info/src/android/widget/MediaController.java.html
Hope this will be of help to sb, JB
From the answers given so far , now the issue is that back functionality will not work so to fix it follow this code.
public class CustomMediaController extends MediaController {
public CustomMediaController(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public void hide() {
}
// Needed to make the back functionality working
@Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
if(event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
super.hide();
Activity activity = (Activity)getContext();
activity.finish();
}
return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}}
All you have to do is override the MediaController with your own class and then override the onTouchEvent.
public class SmartLinkVideoController extends MediaController implements MediaPlayerControl {
//declare needed variables
private SmartLinkVideoPlayer mVideoPlayer;
public SmartLinkVideoController(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public SmartLinkVideoController(Context context, SmartLinkVideoPlayer videoPlayer) {
this(context);
this.setMediaPlayer(this);
this.mVideoPlayer = videoPlayer;
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
//super implementation sets default time to hide of ~ 3 seconds
show(0);
return true;
}
@Override
public void start() {
mVideoPlayer.start();
}
@Override
public void pause() {
mVideoPlayer.pause();
}
@Override
public int getDuration() {
return mVideoPlayer.getDuration();
}
@Override
public int getCurrentPosition() {
return mVideoPlayer.getCurrentPosition();
}
@Override
public void seekTo(int pos) {
mVideoPlayer.seekTo(pos);
}
@Override
public boolean isPlaying() {
return mVideoPlayer.isPlaying();
}
@Override
public int getBufferPercentage() {
return mVideoPlayer.getPercentBuffered();
}
@Override
public boolean canPause() {
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean canSeekBackward() {
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean canSeekForward() {
return true;
}
@Override
public int getAudioSessionId() {
return 0;
}
public boolean hasVideoPlayer() {
return (mVideoPlayer != null);
}
public void prepareVideo() {
if(mVideoPlayer.getVideoType() == SmartLinkVideoPlayer.VIDEO_TYPE_INTERNAL
|| mVideoPlayer.getVideoType() == SmartLinkVideoPlayer.VIDEO_TYPE_EXPANSION)
mVideoPlayer.prepare();
else
mVideoPlayer.prepareAsync();
}
public void prepareSurface(SurfaceHolder holder) {
mVideoPlayer.setDisplay(holder);
}
public void rewindVideo() {
mVideoPlayer.seekTo(0);
}
public void setVideoPlayer(SmartLinkVideoPlayer videoPlayer) {
mVideoPlayer = videoPlayer;
}
public void stopVideoPlayer() {
mVideoPlayer.stop();
}
public void resetVideoPlayer() {
mVideoPlayer.reset();
}
public void releaseVideoPlayer() {
mVideoPlayer.release();
mVideoPlayer = null;
}
}
