I've achieved detecting the click of prev/next button by following code, but still haven't found an way to distinguish the two clicks.
in @implementation MyMovieController : MPMoviePlayerController
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver:self selector:@selector(movieChangeCallBack:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification object:nil];
and define - (void) movieChangeCallBack:(NSNotification*) aNotification
- (void)movieChangeCallBack:(NSNotification*) aNotification {
if (self.playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStateStopped)
{
//Touched 'Previous' or 'Next' button.
}
}
Is there a way to tell whether the 'previous' or 'next' button is clicked?
Thanks :)
Unfortunately, MPMoviePlayerController
, by default, fires off MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification
when either the Prev or Next is tapped. There's no way to uniquely be notified whether each one is tapped.
The only way I found, was to create my own custom controls for backward and forward, adding a target to it to perform an action:
[prevBtn addTarget:self action:@selector(onClick:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[nextBtn addTarget:self action:@selector(onClick:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
Then in your onClick
method:
(void)onClick:(UIButton*)sender
{
if (sender == prevBtn)
{
// Do whatever when prevBtn is tapped
}
else if (sender == nextBtn)
{
// Do whatever when nextBtn is tapped
}
}
FYI: you must set the player's controlStyle
property to MPMovieControlStyleNon
to hide the default controls.
MPMoviePlayerController/MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification NS_DEPRECATED_IOS(3_2, 9_0) is deprecated. You should switch over to AVPlayer.
