By this code mediacontrollers not showing please help me how to show media controllers for pause, play and seekbar for video position in surfaceview of vlc media player.

I had the same issue and have found a solution.
Sure, it's too late for answer, but maybe I will save some time to someone.
To add default media control you need to implement it in following way
remove MediaController from layout and add some container for media control to to your activity (it will be added programmatically).
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/video_surface_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:foregroundGravity="clip_horizontal|clip_vertical"
tools:ignore="true">
<SurfaceView
android:id="#+id/surface"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</FrameLayout>
add controller init to onStart activity or to onCreate
import android.widget.MediaController;
private MediaController controller;
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
....
controller = new MediaController(this);
controller.setMediaPlayer(findViewByid(R.id.video_surface_frame));
controller.setAnchorView(mVideoSurfaceFrame);
mVideoSurfaceFrame.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
controller.show(10000);
}
});
}
to define playerInterface, you need to implement the MediaController.MediaPlayerControl interface like this
private MediaController.MediaPlayerControl playerInterface = new MediaController.MediaPlayerControl() {
public int getBufferPercentage() {
return 0;
}
public int getCurrentPosition() {
float pos = mLibVlc.getPosition();
return (int)(pos * getDuration());
}
public int getDuration() {
return (int)mLibVlc.getLength();
}
public boolean isPlaying() {
return mLibVlc.isPlaying();
}
public void pause() {
mLibVlc.pause();
}
public void seekTo(int pos) {
mLibVlc.setPosition((float)pos / getDuration());
}
public void start() {
mLibVlc.play();
}
public boolean canPause() {
return true;
}
public boolean canSeekBackward() {
return true;
}
public boolean canSeekForward() {
return true;
}
#Override
public int getAudioSessionId() {
return 0;
}
};
launch your app and tap on video. You will see default media control and it will hide in 10 sec
Good luck!

Media Controller in fragments

I'm trying to make a media controller in Android studio but using a fragment instead of an activity, I'm using the code below, but it gives me the following error :
public class Tab1Helloworld extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab1helloworld, container, false);
return rootView;
VideoView video = (VideoView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
video.requestFocus();
String videopath = "android.resource://com.r.teamkape.kiddiecodiel/" + R.raw.helloworldvid;
video.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(videopath));
video.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); //error in (this)[enter image description here][1]
video.requestFocus();
video.start();
}
}

public class Tab1Helloworld extends Fragment
{
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{ View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab1helloworld,container, false);
VideoView video = (VideoView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
video.requestFocus();
String videopath = "android.resource://com.r.teamkape.kiddiecodiel/" + R.raw.helloworldvid;
video.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(videopath));
video.setMediaController(new MediaController(getActivity())); //error in (this)[enter image description here][1]
video.requestFocus();
video.start();
return rootView;
}
}

#xhen, Use below code this works perfect,
in xml layout add this
<sg.xyz.test.util.CustomVideoView
android:id="#+id/videoview"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
/>
in your Fragment class call these medthods
private MediaController mediaController;
private Uri uri;
public void setupVideo(){
if (mediaController == null) {
mediaController = new
MediaController(mContext);
mediaController.setAnchorView(mBinding.videoview);
mBinding.videoview.setMediaController(mediaController);
}
try {
uri = Util.buildURiPath(resourceID);
mBinding.videoview.setVideoURI(uri);
} catch (Exception e) {
Logger.debug("Error: " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
mBinding.videoview.requestFocus();
mBinding.imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
mBinding.videoview.start();
mBinding.imageView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
});
mBinding.videoview.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnVideoSizeChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onVideoSizeChanged(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer, int width, int height) {
mediaController.setAnchorView(mBinding.videoview);
}
});
Logger.debug("Duration = " +
mBinding.videoview.getDuration());
}
});
mBinding.videoview.setOnErrorListener(new MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener() {
#Override
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
AlertDialogFactory.buildAlertDialog(mContext, 0, R.string.video_playing_error).show();
return false;
}
});
}
public static Uri buildURiPath(int resourceID)
{
String uriPath = String.valueOf(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + LoginActivity.PACKAGE_NAME + "/"
+resourceID));
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriPath);
return uri;
}
Replace this mBinding.videoview with your video object that's it.
Now, Create CustomVideoView class
public class CustomVideoView extends VideoView {
private int width;
private int height;
private Context context;
private VideoSizeChangeListener listener;
private boolean isFullscreen;

super(context);

try {
Method mGetRawH = Display.class.getMethod("getRawHeight");
Method mGetRawW = Display.class.getMethod("getRawWidth");
width = (Integer) mGetRawW.invoke(display);
height = (Integer) mGetRawH.invoke(display);
} catch (Exception e) {

width = display.getWidth();
height = display.getHeight();
}
} else {
//This should be close, as lower API devices should not have window navigation bars
width = display.getWidth();
height = display.getHeight();
}
// when landscape w > h, swap it
if (width > height) {

}
}

if (listener != null) listener.onNormalSize();
isFullscreen = false;
}
}
/**

public boolean isFullscreen() {
return isFullscreen;
}
/**

*/
private void setSize(int w, int h) {
setMeasuredDimension(w, h);
getHolder().setFixedSize(w, h);
}
}

the issue from the error you added
flag Error:(33, 54) error: incompatible types: Tab1Helloworld cannot be converted to Context
is in this line
replace
video.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
with
video.setMediaController(new MediaController(getActivity()));
also move
return rootView;
to the end of the method after starting the video

In Vitamio When I drag the seekBar, the progress bar is inaccurate? How to fix it?

I am using Vitamio Library in my app. But the problem is, while playing when i try to move seek bar forward or backward the progress bar is in accurate.
I debug the code and found that, in setProgress() method in MediaController class:
long position = mPlayer.getCurrentPosition();
this position is always same. I am not getting that why getCurrentPosition() is always returning same value.
I also search it on Vitamio website and i found:
https://www.vitamio.org/en/docs/FAQ/2013/0509/6.html
When I drag the seekBar, Why the progress bar is inaccurate?
It's all right, this isn't Vitamio's bug, because you must drag the seekBar to the key frame, But the key frame is not always on every timestamp, except you use the intra-only encoding.
What does this mean? and how can i fix it. Please help me.

In Vitamio When I drag the seekBar, the progress bar is inaccurate? How to fix it?
I just wanted to tell you all that I had made a custom solution to fix this issue. You can take help from this solution If you still facing this issue. I have made changes in MediaController.java class in library. You just need to replace this class from your previous class and then run your code.

SurfaceView not working inside PopupWindow

I gonna show a preview using a PopupWindow based on AirView feature of Samsung SPen
But the problem is that the SurfaceView is not created and non of the SurfaceHolder.Callback methods are called.
The surface region becomes transparent when the popup is displayed because the surface is not created at all.
SurfaceView is not created and is transparent:
HoverPreview:
public class HoverPreview extends LinearLayout implements View.OnHoverListener, SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private static final String TAG = "HoverPreview";
private SurfaceHolder mHolder = null;
View mAnchorView = null;
String videoPath;
int position;
private boolean IsMediaPlayerReady = false;
private MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer;
private SurfaceView mSurfaceView;
Context context;
public HoverPreview(Context context, String videoPath, int position) {
super(context);
this.videoPath = videoPath;
this.position = position;
setupLayout(context);
}
public HoverPreview(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setupLayout(context);
}
public HoverPreview(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
setupLayout(context);
}
private void setupLayout(Context context) {
this.context = context;
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
inflater.inflate(R.layout.media_browser_hover, this);
}
#Override
protected void onFinishInflate() {
super.onFinishInflate();
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
Log.d(TAG, "HoverSurface created");
final Surface surface = surfaceHolder.getSurface();
if (surface == null) return;
if (!surface.isValid()) return;
mHolder = surfaceHolder;
mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
try {
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(videoPath);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mMediaPlayer.setDisplay(mHolder);
mAnchorView.setTag(mMediaPlayer);
mMediaPlayer.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnVideoSizeChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onVideoSizeChanged(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer, int i, int i2) {
mHolder.setFixedSize(i, i2);
}
});
mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
Log.d(TAG, "MediaPlayer preview is prepared");
IsMediaPlayerReady = true;
if (mMediaPlayer != null && IsMediaPlayerReady) {
if (position > 0)
mMediaPlayer.seekTo(position);
mMediaPlayer.start();
}
}
});
Log.d(TAG, "MediaPlayer is created");
try {
mMediaPlayer.prepare();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, int i, int i2, int i3) {
Log.d(TAG, "HoverSurface changed");
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
Log.d(TAG, "HoverSurface destroyed");
if (mMediaPlayer != null) {
mMediaPlayer.stop();
mMediaPlayer.release();
//thumbnailImageView.setTag(null);
}
}
public void setAnchorView(View view) {
mAnchorView = view;
}
#Override
public boolean onHover(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
try {
if (motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_ENTER) {
Log.d(TAG, "ACTION_HOVER_ENTER");
mSurfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.media_browser_hoverSurfaceView);
mHolder = mSurfaceView.getHolder();
if (mHolder != null) {
mHolder.addCallback(this);
}
} else if (motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_EXIT) {
Log.d(TAG, "ACTION_HOVER_EXIT");
if (mAnchorView.getTag() != null) {
MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer = (MediaPlayer) mAnchorView.getTag();
mMediaPlayer.stop();
mMediaPlayer.release();
mAnchorView.setTag(null);
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage() + Utils.toString(e.getStackTrace()));
}
return false;
}
}
The code to show the preview:
final PopupWindow popupWindow = new PopupWindow(context);
final HoverPreview hoverPreview = new HoverPreview(context, videoPath, 0);
hoverPreview.setAnchorView(thumbnailImageView);
thumbnailImageView.setOnHoverListener(new View.OnHoverListener() {
#Override
public boolean onHover(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
hoverPreview.onHover(view, motionEvent);
if (motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_ENTER) {
popupWindow.setContentView(hoverPreview);
popupWindow.setWidth(600);
popupWindow.setHeight(400);
popupWindow.showAtLocation(thumbnailImageView, ToolHoverPopup.Gravity.NO_GRAVITY, 10, 10);
Log.d(TAG, "Manual Hover Enter");
} else if (motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_EXIT) {
Log.d(TAG, "Manual Hover Exit");
if (popupWindow != null)
popupWindow.dismiss();
}
return true;
});

Here's my complete working solution:
I borrowed some code from ToolHoverPopup class from SPen library, also I customized for this special popup so that nothing is created or inflated until the actual hovering is happened so that we don't consume resources for enabling such a preview in lists.
We need to have our preview attached to a Window so because of this we have to manage all the underlying job of positioning which is normally done by PopupWindow, so I completely removed the dependency on the PopupWindow and now my HoverPreview class is fully working and manages all the jobs, also it has the ability to determine the Hover Detection delay in milliseconds.
Screenshot (SurfaceView is created)
Usage: (Since the layout contains SurfaceView and is resource intensive, I manually trigger onHover event so that the real surface creation is performed only when the real hover is performed. Also by this, I don't create any object of HoverPreview before it's needed)
thumbnailImageView.setOnHoverListener(new View.OnHoverListener() {
#Override
public boolean onHover(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
HoverPreview hoverPreview;
if (thumbnailImageView.getTag() == null) {
hoverPreview = new HoverPreview(context, getActivity().getWindow(), videoPath, 0);
hoverPreview.setHoverDetectTime(1000);
thumbnailImageView.setTag(hoverPreview);
} else
hoverPreview = (HoverPreview) thumbnailImageView.getTag();
hoverPreview.onHover(null, motionEvent);
if (motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_EXIT)
thumbnailImageView.setTag(null);
return true;
}
});
HoverPreview:
public class HoverPreview extends LinearLayout implements View.OnHoverListener, SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private static final int MSG_SHOW_POPUP = 1;
private static final int MSG_DISMISS_POPUP = 2;
private static final int HOVER_DETECT_TIME_MS = 300;

Using Camera on android

In my library project I have the following code to initialize the camera, and start previewing.
public class CameraView {
private SurfaceView preview;
private SurfaceHolder previewHolder;
private Camera camera;
private boolean activeCamera;
private boolean cameraConfigured;
private Activity activity;
private final static int NINTY_DEGREES = 90;
public CameraView(Activity activity) {
this.activity = activity;
View rootView;
LayoutInflater inflater = activity.getLayoutInflater();
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_cameraview, null);
preview = (SurfaceView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
previewHolder = preview.getHolder();
previewHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
cameraConfigured = false;
}
private void initializeCamera(int w, int h) {
if(camera != null && previewHolder.getSurface() != null) {
try
{
camera.setPreviewDisplay(previewHolder);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e("Camera: ", e.getMessage());
}
if(!cameraConfigured) {
Camera.Parameters params = camera.getParameters();
Camera.Size size = getBestPreviewSize(w, h, params);
if(size != null) {
params.setPreviewSize(size.width, size.height);
cameraConfigured = true;
}
}
}
}
public void startCamera() {
camera = Camera.open();
previewHolder.addCallback(surfaceCallback);
}
public void stopCamera() {
stopPreviewingOnDisplay();
}
public void takePicture() {
View rootView;
LayoutInflater inflater = activity.getLayoutInflater();
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_cameraview, null);
Button capture = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.capture);
capture.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.e("CameraView: ", "Capture button pressed!");
}
});
}
private void startPreviewingOnDisplay() {
if(camera != null) {
camera.setDisplayOrientation(NINTY_DEGREES);
camera.startPreview();
activeCamera = true;
}
}
private void stopPreviewingOnDisplay() {
if(camera != null && activeCamera) {
camera.stopPreview();
activeCamera = false;
}
}
private SurfaceHolder.Callback surfaceCallback = new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
initializeCamera(width, height);
startPreviewingOnDisplay();
Log.d("CameraView: ", "SurfaceChanged");
}
};
private Camera.Size getBestPreviewSize(int w, int h, Camera.Parameters params) {
Camera.Size result = null;
for(Camera.Size size : params.getSupportedPreviewSizes()) {
if(size.width < w && size.height <= h) {
if(result == null) {
result = size;
}
else {
int resultArea = result.width * result.height;
int newArea = size.width * size.height;
if(newArea > resultArea)
result = size;
}
}
}
return(result);
}
}
The usage of this class:
public class History extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
......
camera = new CameraView(this);
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.i("History.class", "onResume called!");
camera.startCamera();
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
camera.stopCamera();
}
}
I've debugged the code, and I notice that the camera object is being intitalized, but there is nothing appearing on the screen, it should have previewed the camera. Could anyone see whats wrong with this approach?
Thanks.
