I cant seem to find an event that listens for playback state. I am mostly interested in the play/pause
state. I am using MediaController
which has a Play/Pause
button, but I have a secondary button that also controls Play/Pause
. Using my custom button, I can play/pause
, but if I play/pause
using the MediaController
play/pause
button, I currently have no way to change the image on my custom play/pause
button to either play or pause.
Is there an event that I do not know about so I can do some work during play/pause?
This is a very similar question: How to catch event when click pause/play button on MediaController
If you're using the MediaController
in combination with a VideoView
, it should be relatively easy to extend the latter and add your own listener to it.
The custom VideoView would then look something like this in its most basic form:
public class CustomVideoView extends VideoView {
private PlayPauseListener mListener;
public CustomVideoView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomVideoView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomVideoView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public void setPlayPauseListener(PlayPauseListener listener) {
mListener = listener;
}
@Override
public void pause() {
super.pause();
if (mListener != null) {
mListener.onPause();
}
}
@Override
public void start() {
super.start();
if (mListener != null) {
mListener.onPlay();
}
}
public static interface PlayPauseListener {
void onPlay();
void onPause();
}
}
Using it is identical to using a regular VideoView
, with the only difference being that we can now hook up our own listener to it.
// Some other code above...
CustomVideoView cVideoView = (CustomVideoView) findViewById(R.id.custom_videoview);
cVideoView.setPlayPauseListener(new CustomVideoView.PlayPauseListener() {
@Override
public void onPlay() {
System.out.println("Play!");
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
System.out.println("Pause!");
}
});
cVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
cVideoView.setVideoURI(...);
// or
cVideoView.setVideoPath(...);
// Some other code below...
Finally, you may also declare it in your xml layout and inflate it (as shown above) - just make sure your use <package_name>.CustomVideoView
. Example:
<mh.so.CustomVideoView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/custom_videoview" />
You should be able to set your own MediaController.MediaPlayerControl and override pause and start
