In YouTubeAndroidPlayer api, I had a code like below for playing a video. I cannot able to start from the middle of the video. I didnt find any methods under player to give start and end values.
I searched a lot for the solution,but didnt find any luck.Please suggest.
@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player,
boolean wasRestored) {
if (!wasRestored) {
// player.cueVideo(VIDEO_ID);
player.loadVideo(xyoajjlPt_o);
}
Use the method with timeMillis
parameter:
player.loadVideo (String videoId, int timeMillis)
In your case:
player.loadVideo("xyoajjlPt_o", 36000);
//this will start the video from 36th second
[EDIT]
Well, you can make use of Handler to track the current running time of the video. When the time in milliseconds has reached the point where you want to stop the video, simply call the player.pause()
method.
Here's the complete code of the activity:
public class MyActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener{
public static final String API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE";
public static final String VIDEO_ID = "yeF_b8EQcK0";
private static YouTubePlayer player;
TextView text;
//this is the end time in milliseconds (65th second)
public int endTime = 65000;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.my_activity);
text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
YouTubePlayerView youTubePlayerView = (YouTubePlayerView)findViewById(R.id.youtubeplayerview);
youTubePlayerView.initialize(API_KEY, this);
}
@Override
public void onInitializationFailure(Provider provider,
YouTubeInitializationResult result) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"onInitializationFailure()",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player, boolean wasRestored) {
MyActivity.player = player; //necessary to access inside Runnable
//start the video at 36th second
player.loadVideo(VIDEO_ID, 36000);
final Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
//For every 1 second, check the current time and endTime
if(MyActivity.player.getCurrentTimeMillis() <= endTime) {
text.setText("Video Playing at " + MyActivity.player.getCurrentTimeMillis());
handler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
} else {
handler.removeCallbacks(this); //no longer required
text.setText(" Reached " + endTime);
MyActivity.player.pause(); //and Pause the video
}
}
}, 1000);
}
}
P.S. A duplicate question was asked here and I've updated my answer there.
