How to play only one sound at a time?

I have two ImageViews with different sounds which plays sound when clicked on one of them. When click on the first ImageView I want the sound to play and before the first ImageView finish playing the sound, if the second ImageView is click, I want to restrict the second ImageView to play a sound because the first ImageView is still playing the sound. In fact, I want to restrict a sound to play when another sound is playing. But, I didn't get the desired result.
public class Transportation extends AppCompatActivity {
private MediaPlayer sound,sound1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.transportation);
sound = MediaPlayer.create(this,R.raw.vatunabus);
final ImageView imageView= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.vatunabussound);
imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(sound1.isPlaying()){
sound.stop();
sound.release();
}
else if(sound.isPlaying()){
sound.pause();
imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.playicon);
}
else {
sound.start();
imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.pauseicon);
}
}
});
sound.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.playicon);
}
});
sound1 = MediaPlayer.create(this,R.raw.varowlsanabus);
final ImageView imageView1 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.firstbussound);
imageView1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(sound.isPlaying()){
sound1.stop();
sound1.release();
}
else if(sound1.isPlaying()){
sound1.pause();
imageView1.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.playicon);
}
else {
sound1.start();
imageView1.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.pauseicon);
}
}
});
sound1.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
imageView1.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.playicon);
}
});
}
}

Here's an idea, let's create a boolean value to tell us if a sound is currently playing.
private MediaPlayer sound,sound1;
private boolean soundPlaying = false; //new boolean variable
Next, before playing a sound, we'll check to make sure it's still false:
public void onClick(View v) {
//Add a check that exits the function if a sound is playing
//Add this check in both onClick methods
if(soundPlaying){
return;
}
...
}
Also, after sound.start() and sound1.start(), let's set the boolean to true:
soundPlaying = true;
Finally, in both instances of the onCompletion methods, let's reset the boolean to false:
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
soundPlaying = false;
...
}
The final code will look like this:
public class Transportation extends AppCompatActivity {
private MediaPlayer sound,sound1;
private boolean soundPlaying = false; //new boolean variable
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.transportation);
sound = MediaPlayer.create(this,R.raw.vatunabus);
final ImageView imageView= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.vatunabussound);
imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Add a check that exits the function if a sound is playing
if(soundPlaying){
return;
}
if(sound1.isPlaying()){
sound.stop();
sound.release();
}
else if(sound.isPlaying()){
sound.pause();
imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.playicon);
}
else {
sound.start();
imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.pauseicon);
}
}
});
sound.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
soundPlaying = false;
imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.playicon);
}
});
sound1 = MediaPlayer.create(this,R.raw.varowlsanabus);
final ImageView imageView1 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.firstbussound);
imageView1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Add a check that exits the function if a sound is playing
if(soundPlaying){
return;
}
if(sound.isPlaying()){
sound1.stop();
sound1.release();
}
else if(sound1.isPlaying()){
sound1.pause();
imageView1.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.playicon);
}
else {
sound1.start();
imageView1.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.pauseicon);
}
}
});
sound1.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
soundPlaying = false;
imageView1.setBackgroundResource(R.mipmap.playicon);
}
});
}
}
I hope this helps. Couldn't try it in live code though, so let me know how it goes.

Hide and Show Toolbar on MediaController show() and hide()

I'm using a MediaController to control video play back for my VideoView. I've overriden VideoView.setOnPreparedListener so that the ActionBar/Toolbar is hidden (hide()) after the video first finishes buffering. And I'd like the toolbar to comeback when the MediaController does. I've tried overriding the MediaController show() and hide() methods, like so:
mVideoView.start();
// Media Controller
mMediaController = new MediaController(this){
#Override
public void show() {
getSupportActionBar().show();
}
#Override
public void hide() {
getSupportActionBar().hide();
}
};
mMediaController.setAnchorView(mVideoView);
mVideoView.setMediaController(mMediaController);
// Hide toolbar once video starts
mVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
// Hide support bar
getSupportActionBar().hide();
}
});
This works, except the playback controls stop showing up! And of course, calling a recursive mMediaController.show() within the overridden method doesn't work... Can I have my cake an eat it too?
Edit
So I've also, unsucessfully tried taking advantage of the VideoView.setOnTouchListener and VideoView.setOnCompletetionListener:
mVideoView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
getSupportActionBar().show();
return false;
}
});
mVideoView.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
getSupportActionBar().hide();
}
});
It does show, but it won't hide again, perhaps I misinterpret OnCompletetionListener?
Edit 2
From Amir's suggestion, I override the onTouch for VideoView, not perfect, but it's on like the right track:
mMediaController = new MediaController(this);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.media_player);
mVideoView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
boolean flag;
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction()){
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
if(flag) {
mMediaController.hide();
getSupportActionBar().hide();
} else {
mMediaController.show();
getSupportActionBar().show();
}
flag = !flag;
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
This mostly works, it toggles the Toolbar and so sometimes the Toolbar will appear without the MediaController, and each time I toggle it, the MediaController does it's regular 'appear for a few seconds and then disappear.' In any case, it is a working solution.

Your original code seems to work if you add calls to the corresponding super methods.
mediaController = new MediaController(this){
#Override
public void show() {
super.show();
getSupportActionBar().show();
Toast.makeText(activity_media_player.this, "SHOW TOOLBAR", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void hide() {
super.hide();
getSupportActionBar().hide();
Toast.makeText(activity_media_player.this, "HIDE TOOLBAR", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};

You should change your OnTouchListener a bit. I do following in my project and works fine:
final MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
videoView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
boolean flag = true;
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
switch (motionEvent.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
if (flag) {
mediaController.hide();
hideToolbar();
}
else {
mediaController.show(0);
showToolbar();
}
flag = !flag;
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
}
});
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://www.sample-videos.com/video/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_1mb.mp4"));
And hideToolbar() with some traslate animation:
toolbar.animate().translationY(-toolbar.getBottom()).setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator()).start();
showToolbar():
toolbar.animate().translationY(0).setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator()).start();
Also if you need to HideStatusBar call setUiFlag() with true:
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH)
private void setUiFlags(boolean fullscreen) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
if (decorView != null) {
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(fullscreen ? getFullscreenUiFlags() : View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE);
}
}
}
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH)
private int getFullscreenUiFlags() {
int flags = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
flags |= View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
}
return flags;
}

OnCompletionListener not called once media player has been reset and initialised

In my code, I have a start/stop button.I am trying to play an audio clip from the raw folder. On completion of an audio clip, the start/stop button has to change from stop mode to start mode. I don't want to loop the audio. For this,I have called OnCompletionListener. However, the listener is called only once. If the media player is reset and created again, OnCompletionListener is no longer called.
public void playsong(View view) {
if (mySound != null)
{
if (!pause) {mySound.start();
btnStartStop.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button);
pause = true;
} else {
if (mySound.isPlaying()) {
mySound.stop();
do_it();
}
}
}
}
mySound.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mySound) {
do_it();
}
});
public void do_it() {
mySound.reset();
mySound = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.a);
pause = false;
btnStartStop.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button2);
}

Try this code ?
In this example oncompletionlistner is called everytime
btnDemo.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(objPlayer!=null){
if(objPlayer.isPlaying())
stopPlaying(objPlayer);
}
objPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(),R.raw.demoaudio);
if(objPlayer.isPlaying())
objPlayer.pause();
else
objPlayer.start();
Log.d("null", "Media Player started!");
if(objPlayer.isLooping() != true){
Log.d("null", "Problem in Playing Audio");
}
objPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
objPlayer.release();
objPlayer = null;
};
});
}
});

Android VideoView (PhoneWindowLeaked Error)

I have a VideoView in my Activity with some TextView's and EditText below it. The Video in VideoView is loaded from server. I have to always show the Media Controls of VideoView. I have overriden the hide() in MediaController. In OnPrepared(), after start() I am setting the VideoView to show(). It is showing the controls which is what I wanted. I have written code to finish my activity when device back button is pressed. Now my issue is when I press phone's back button the activity doesn't finish. When I move to some other activity, it shows PhoneWindowLeaked exception in console. I have no clue about this. I could not find anything in google or even in this site. Please help me to solve this.
Sample code snippet is below :
VideoView mVideoView=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView);
mVideoView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
return true;
}
});
mVideoView.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mVideoView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
});
mVideoView.setOnErrorListener(new OnErrorListener() {
#Override
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
return true;
}
});
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK||keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME) {
if(mVideoView.isPlaying()){
mVideoView.stopPlayback();
mVideoView.suspend();
}
finish();
return false;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
mediaController = new MediaController(SampleActivity.this, true){
public void hide() {};
};
mediaController.setMediaPlayer(mVideoView);
mediaController.setAnchorView(mVideoView);
mediaController.requestFocus();
mVideoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
Uri video = Uri.parse(getResources().getString(R.string.img_path) + csPath);
mVideoView.setVideoURI(video);
mVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mVideoView.start();
mediaController.show(900000000);
}
});
#Override
protected void onPause() {
mediaController.hide();
mVideoView.stopPlayback();
mVideoView.suspend();
super.onPause();
}
#Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
mediaController.hide();
}
Thanks

MediaController always show on Android

I am using mediacontroller in my app, but it shows only for 3 seconds. I have searched a lot, but in every document I see only the show function, set time out, but it has no effect. How can I always show mediacontroller?
I have tested show(0), but it had no effect.

You can extend the MediaController class and programmatically set an instance of it to a VideoView class:
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.MediaController;
public class MyMediaController extends MediaController {
public MyMediaController(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public MyMediaController(Context context, boolean useFastForward) {
super(context, useFastForward);
}
public MyMediaController(Context context) {
super(context);
}
#Override
public void show(int timeout) {
super.show(0);
}
}
Here's the usage:
VideoView myVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.my_video_view);
MediaController mc = new MyMediaController(myVideoView.getContext());
mc.setMediaPlayer(myVideoView);
myVideoView.setMediaController(mc);

You can create anonymous class inline and override certain methods. You need to override the hide method and do nothing in there. You also need to override the dispatchKeyEvent method to check for back key press and call the super.hide(). Otherwise on back press the controller wont hide and the activity cannot be closed.
mediaController = new MediaController(this){
#Override
public void hide() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//do nothing
}
#Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
if(event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
mediaPlayer.reset();
mediaPlayer.release();
mediaPlayer = null;
}
super.hide();
Activity a = (Activity)getContext();
a.finish();
}
return true;
}
};

You can also create an anonymous class inline and override the hide method there instead of having to create a whole new class for it:
mediaController = new MediaController(this) {
#Override
public void hide() {
//Do not hide.
}
};

Try the show method in this way:
new media controller().show(50000);
And also check http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/MediaController.html#show().
SudeepSR: Please make a note of that, if you called show(0), it will show the Media Controller until hide() is called.

After trying all that I could, the following code worked for me!
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video);
mMediaController = new MediaController(this) {
//for not hiding
#Override
public void hide() {}
//for 'back' key action
#Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
if(event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
Activity a = (Activity)getContext();
a.finish();
}
return true;
}
};
mMediaController.setAnchorView(mVideoView);
mMediaController.setMediaPlayer(mVideoView);
mVideoView.setMediaController(mMediaController);
mMediaController.requestFocus();
//only this showed the controller for me!!
mVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mVideoView.start();
mMediaController.show(900000000);
}
});
//finish after playing
mVideoView.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
finish();
}
});

What you need to do is, overrride the hide method in the custom controller and do nothing.
public class MyMediaController extends MediaController {
..
#Override
public void hide() {
// Do nothing here in order to always show
}
...
}
PS: You still need to click on the video to show the media controller.

This may be an old thread, but still unanswered, try this :
final MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAlwaysDrawnWithCacheEnabled(true);
mediaController.setAnchorView(vView);
mediaController.requestFocus();
vView.setOnPreparedListener( new OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mediaController.show( 0 );
}
});
vView.setVideoPath(Preview_Path);
vView.setMediaController(mediaController);
vView.start();
theres a comment inside the MediaController Class "show" method
**Use 0 to show
* the controller until hide() is called**
so using 900000 or larger value wont help.
hope it helps you.
cheers.

Try this:
videoView.setOnCompletionListener(onVideoCompleted);
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(onVideoPrepared);
mc.setAnchorView(videoView);
mc.setMediaPlayer(videoView);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
videoView.setMediaController(mc);
MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener onVideoPrepared = new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mc.show(0);
}
};
MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener onVideoCompleted = new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mc.hide();
}
};

I wanted to fade the controller for videos and always show it for audio. This worked
mController = new MediaController(this) {
#Override
public void hide() {
if (mType != TYPE_AUDIO) super.hide();
}
#Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
if(event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
mController.hide();
Activity a = (Activity)getContext();
a.finish();
return true;
}
return false;
}
};
In MediaPlayer.onPrepared I added:
if (mType == TYPE_AUDIO) mController.show(0);
This causes the controller to show at the start of audio playback, but not video playback.
The other phone control buttons continue to work as normal.

Easy! Set visibility "GONE" in event hide and set visibility "VISIBLE" in show!
MediaController mc= new MediaController(zoom.this){
#Override
public void setMediaPlayer(MediaPlayerControl player) {
super.setMediaPlayer(player);
this.show(4000);
}
#Override
public void show(int timeout) {
super.show(timeout);
this.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
//instead of press twice with press once "back" button to back
#Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
if(event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
Activity a = (Activity)getContext();
a.finish();
}
return true;
}
#Override
public void hide() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.hide();
this.setVisibility(View.GONE);
//super.show(3000);
}
};
