How to check if mediaplayer is playing or stopped?

Question

How can I check whether the mediaplayer is playing or stopped, using Java Media Framework?

Answer 1

You can call getState and check against Controller.Started:

if (mediaPlayer.getState() == Controller.Started)

Answer 2

// Register ControllerListener :

public class myPlayer implements ControllerListener  {
// ....
    Player player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(url);
    player.addControllerListener(this);
// ....


// And check for EndOfMedia event in the controllerUpdate method:

    public void controllerUpdate(ControllerEvent event) {
    if (event instanceof EndOfMediaEvent) {
        // Take appropriate action
        }
    }
} // End of class

By checking the state and by listening to EndOfMedia event, one could detect if media is being played or stopped.

Answer 3

It seems like a bit changed since the accepted answer. The following works for me:

if(this.player.getStatus() == MediaPlayer.Status.STOPPED){
     // Do something
}
