Exoplayer: next and previous buttons

I want implement next and previous buttons below the ExoPlayer. I'm basing my code on this thread:
Implementing next button in audio player android
and the links in these ones:
How to add Listener for next , previous , rewind and forward in Exoplayer
How to add next song and previous song play button in audio player using android studio2.3?
The Exoplayer is in a fragment and opens on the right side of the screen on a tablet screen and in a separate activity on a mobile screen when the user clicks on one of the recipe steps. Data to the StepsFragment(implements an onClickListener) is sent via parcelable from the parent activity(code below).
Next and previous buttons are only implemented on the mobile screen(code works fine). I'm passing the arraylist and position from the parent activity in the onClick method and retrieving them in the fragment. The code works fine w/o the buttons, and both the list and the position are sent via parcelable to the VideoFragment only to implement the buttons. I decided to put the buttons in the Video Fragment.
Nothing happens when clicking on either the next or previous button. Code flow is indicated in the comments above the code in the onClickListener. I've tried to debug but no errors are displayed. Is this the right way to pass the arraylist? Although it's not shown in the debug and the log cat, I think it might be null. Can someone please have a look? Thank you in advance.

Multiple Exoplayer instance using fragments

My aim is to show several video at one Activity at the same time using ExoPlayer 2. (I got hls source for each video). I'm succesfully play one video. So I decided to make implementation of the Player inside Fragment and create new Fragment for each hls sources to put them inside Activity. But only one Fragment succesfully playing video, other Fragments looks like black square without any content. How to resolve it?
I'm using ExoPlayer 2.7.2 .
My Activity code
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_test);
Bundle bundle1 = new Bundle();
bundle1.putString(SmallPlayerfragment.VIDEO_KEY, SmallPlayerfragment.Source1);
Bundle bundle2 = new Bundle();
bundle2.putString(SmallPlayerfragment.VIDEO_KEY, SmallPlayerfragment.Source2);
Fragment fragment1 = new SmallPlayerfragment();
fragment1.setArguments(bundle1);
Fragment fragment2 = new SmallPlayerfragment();
fragment2.setArguments(bundle2);
if (getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(SmallPlayerfragment.TAG1) == null
| getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(SmallPlayerfragment.TAG2) == null)
getSupportFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.test_container, fragment2, SmallPlayerfragment.TAG2)
.replace(R.id.bottom_test_container, fragment1, SmallPlayerfragment.TAG1)
.commit();
}
My Fragment code
public class SmallPlayerfragment extends Fragment {
String mVideoURL;
public final static String VIDEO_KEY = "videoKey";
public final static String Source2 = "source2";
public final static String Source1 = "source1";
public final static String TAG1 = "fragment_1";
public final static String TAG2 = "fragment_2";
PlayerView mPlayerView;

}
private void initializePlayer() {
mPlayer = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(
new DefaultRenderersFactory(getContext()),

DataSource.Factory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(getContext(),
Util.getUserAgent(getContext(), "yourApplicationName"), bandwidthMeter);
// This is the MediaSource representing the media to be played.
MediaSource videoSource = new HlsMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory)

// Prepare the player with the source.
return videoSource;
}
private void releasePlayer() {
if (mPlayer != null) {
mPlayer.release();
mPlayer = null;
}
}

I think its just a focus issue. The fragment needs to be in focus to play video.
Also in your Exoplayer fragment drop a little if to check for focus before playing the video.
The fragment in focus should only play the video.

Delay in exoplayer on orientaion change

The issue is that there is a delay when I try to change the orientation of the player. There is a lag of some 2 or 3 seconds before the video resumes. Every thing else works just fine except for the orientation change.

You should look into handling configuration changes yourself - as #marcbaechinger mentions above.
The necessary piece is here:
<activity android:name=".MyActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
android:label="#string/app_name">
The most important part is:
Remember: When you declare your activity to handle a configuration change, you are responsible for resetting any elements for which you provide alternatives. If you declare your activity to handle the orientation change and have images that should change between landscape and portrait, you must re-assign each resource to each element during onConfigurationChanged().
But if you don't have any landscape specific layout files or images, then you'll likely be okay.
We had to write our own full screen logic for rotation, but that's simple enough considering Android gives you the configuration change event.
And to tack on a little extra validity to this approach, it's recommended by Google via the Youtube player documentation (specifically in regards to fullscreen):
To achieve this for an activity that supports portrait, you need to specify that your activity handles some configuration changes on its own in your application's manifest, including orientation, keyboardHidden and screenSize.

Detect if MediaBrowserServiceCompat is running

I'm using this example code to build a MediaPlayer Service. I have it more or less working, however if a user returns to the Activity that contains the media controls, I need to detect what state the MediaPlayer is in. The code I'm currently using throws a NullReferenceException error in onResume because getPlaybackState() is always null.
I'm new to using MediaSessionCompat and according to the documentation, I can get the current session somehow:
"Once a session is created the owner of the session may pass its session token to other processes to allow them to create a MediaControllerCompat to interact with the session."
public class MediaActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private MediaBrowserCompat mMediaBrowserCompat;
private MediaControllerCompat mMediaControllerCompat;
private Activity mActivity;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_media);
mActivity = this;
mPlayButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_play);
mMediaBrowserCompat = new MediaBrowserCompat(
getApplicationContext(),
new ComponentName(mContext, MediaPlayerService.class),
mMediaBrowserCompatConnectionCallback,
getIntent().getExtras()
);
mMediaBrowserCompat.connect();
mPlayButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if( mCurrentState == STATE_PAUSED ) {
getSupportMediaController().getTransportControls().play();
mCurrentState = STATE_PLAYING;
mPlayButton.setText("Pause");
} else {
MediaControllerCompat.getMediaController(mActivity).getTransportControls().pause();
mCurrentState = STATE_PAUSED;
mPlayButton.setText("Play");
}
}
});
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (MediaControllerCompat.getMediaController(mActivity).getPlaybackState().getState() == PlaybackStateCompat.STATE_PLAYING) {
mPlayButton.setText("Pause")
}
else{
mPlayButton.setText("Play")
}
}
private MediaBrowserCompat.ConnectionCallback mMediaBrowserCompatConnectionCallback = new MediaBrowserCompat.ConnectionCallback() {
#Override
public void onConnected() {
super.onConnected();
try {
mMediaControllerCompat = new MediaControllerCompat(PodcastEpisodeActivity.this, mMediaBrowserCompat.getSessionToken());
mMediaControllerCompat.registerCallback(mMediaControllerCompatCallback);
MediaControllerCompat.setMediaController(mActivity, mMediaControllerCompat);
MediaControllerCompat.getMediaController(mActivity).getTransportControls().playFromUri(Uri.parse("http://www.url.com"), extras);
} catch( RemoteException e ) {
Log.e(mActivity.getPackageName(), e.toString());
}
}
};
private MediaControllerCompat.Callback mMediaControllerCompatCallback = new MediaControllerCompat.Callback() {
#Override
public void onPlaybackStateChanged(PlaybackStateCompat state) {
super.onPlaybackStateChanged(state);
if (state == null ) return;
switch (state.getState()) {
case PlaybackStateCompat.STATE_PLAYING: {
mCurrentState = STATE_PLAYING;
break;
}
case PlaybackStateCompat.STATE_PAUSED: {
mCurrentState = STATE_PAUSED;
break;
}
}
}
};
}
}

I couldn't figure out a way through the available API, so I'm just tracking which media is being played through local storage (sqlite) and updating the display through that. Probably not the most elegant solution but it works.

Android: Save XWalkView - Crosswalk state

I am using XWalkView to show a mobile web site as an application. My problem is when application goes background and comes back it reloads the page it shows. I want to keep it state and continue from that state when it comes from background. Here is my code:

stateBundle = savedInstanceState.getBundle("xwalk");
}
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
initNoInternetTextView();
}
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Always call the superclass so it can restore the view hierarchy
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
stateBundle = savedInstanceState.getBundle("xwalk");
Log.d(TAG, "onRestoreInstanceState");
}

if (noInternet != null) {
noInternet.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
checkInternetConnection();
}
});
}
}
/**

*/
private void initWebView() {
Log.d(TAG, "initWebView");
if (xWalkWebView == null) {
ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
xWalkWebView = (XWalkView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
//xWalkWebView.clearCache(true);
xWalkWebView.load(URL, null);
xWalkWebView.setResourceClient(new BDResourceClient(xWalkWebView, progressBar));
}
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d(TAG, "onResume");

checkInternetConnection();
if (xWalkWebView != null && stateBundle != null) {
xWalkWebView.restoreState(stateBundle);
}
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Log.d(TAG, "onPause");
if (xWalkWebView != null) {
stateBundle = new Bundle();
xWalkWebView.saveState(stateBundle);
}
}
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.d(TAG, "onSaveInstanceState");
// Save the user's current game state
savedInstanceState.putBundle("xwalk", stateBundle);

super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Log.d(TAG, "onBackPressed");
if (xWalkWebView != null && xWalkWebView.getNavigationHistory().canGoBack()) {
xWalkWebView.getNavigationHistory().navigate(XWalkNavigationHistory.Direction.BACKWARD, 1);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
}
I have also tried to add following lines to manifest but didn't work.
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:alwaysRetainTaskState="true"
How can i do that?
Thanks in advcance.

One way would be to initialize the view inside a fragment which is set to retain it's instance.
