Good morning, Ive create an activity with a videoview that start automatically and load a video from uri in loop mode.
How can I load 2 or three video in loop mode?
For example load for from Uri(xxx1, xxx2, xxx3)?
Thaks in advance
I think you can either create a RecyclerView or ListView or ScrollView and respective Adapter or Child video views.
Have a list of video Uris in Uri[] or ArrayList
Call these in respective getView or for(Uri uri : mUris) loop
Here is a single instance to play a video
private void playVideo(Uri uri) {
//set the media controller buttons
if (mediaControls == null) {
mediaControls = new MediaController(AndroidVideoViewExample.this);
}
//initialize the VideoView
myVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video_view);
try {
//set the media controller in the VideoView
myVideoView.setMediaController(mediaControls);
//set the uri of the video to be played
myVideoView.setVideoURI(uri);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
//we also set an setOnPreparedListener in order to know when the video file is ready for playback
myVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
// close the progress bar and play the video
progressDialog.dismiss();
//if we have a position on savedInstanceState, the video playback should start from here
myVideoView.seekTo(position);
if (position == 0) {
myVideoView.start();
} else {
//if we come from a resumed activity, video playback will be paused
myVideoView.pause();
}
}
});
}

Is it possible to get Auto Play in Video View in Android??
On getview method of adapter you do like this,
it will auto play video when it will come on view.
videoView.setVideoPath(videoPath);
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(final MediaPlayer mp) {
//seekbar.
mp.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I want to play the video one by one from my sdcard using Texture view in android. I am using tetureview bcoz , I want to rotate the video at 90 degree.. so I can play the rotated video on device by implementing SurfaceTextureListener interface.
This is the code:
#Override
public void onSurfaceTextureAvailable(SurfaceTexture surface, int width, int height) {
root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
ArrayList extList = new ArrayList<String>();
extList.add("mp4");
extList.add("3gp");
extList.add("ts");
extList.add("webm");
extList.add("mkv");
Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle b = intent.getExtras();
vFiles = b.getStringArrayList("vFiles");
System.out.println("VFiles: " + vFiles);
iterator = vFiles.iterator();
videoPath = root + "/Video/";
if (iterator.hasNext()) {
System.out.println("Inside iterator: .......................................");
String video = videoPath + iterator.next();
mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
//mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(),
// afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength());
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(video);
System.out.println("After Datasource: " + video);
mMediaPlayer.setSurface(sur);
// mMediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
mMediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
// mMediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener((OnBufferingUpdateListener) this);
mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
// Play video when the media source is ready for playback.
mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
// mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
mediaPlayer.start();
}
});
}
}
But By this code, Only one video is playing , after another video is not playing.. and I want when one video is finished then second video in the list should be play and so on..
I searched a lot about this on net... But no luck...
Can any one help me regarding this ?
onSurfaceTextureAvailable method doesn't get triggered when the MediaPlayer object has completed playback, it gets triggered when the Surface texture is ready to be used.
You need to implement MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener, the onCompletion method gets triggered once the playback is completed.
Start the playback of the next video in the list once the playback of the first video is completed.
Hi I am creating an app which will play livestream.com's rtsp live channel.
I am launching the player using intent within my app as following:
iPlayer = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
//iPlayer.setType("video/*");
iPlayer.setData(Uri.parse(videoUrl));
startActivity(iPlayer);
When the media player is launched through my Application, the video performance is very poor. It stops for buffering every few seconds, plays for few seconds and pauses for buffering again.
ON the other hand, If I open the url in android browser (eg. http://m.livestream.com/abcalbania) it has a video tag on that page and triggers video player. THIS time, the video runs very smooth.
Any Idea why this might happen? And how this can be fixed?
I do not want to launch browser URL as intent.
This is done on Atmel cortex A9 chipset with Android 2.3.4
The problem is caused by the codecs that probably are not supported by your player.
for example i have a video created with MPEG Audio codec along with the H.264 video codec.
if i launch the video through my Application the video runs smoothly, but if i launch a video in Ooyala Hook Player it has a very poor performance, it plays the video every 3 seconds, the reason is that the stream use MPEG audio codec instead of AAC Audio codec that is supported.
You will find the answer with:
what codecs are used to create de video, and what are supported by
your player?
Use this code for smooth STREAM
String videoUrl = "rtmp://mystream";
Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(videoUrl), "video/*");
startActivity(i);
Why not you play this in your own activity, create activity and render the video view like
private String path2 = "rtsp://...";
Uri video = Uri.parse(path2);
mVideoView.setVideoURI(video);
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.postInvalidateDelayed(100);
mVideoView.start();
Also you can buffer before start playing maybe 5 secs and than successive buffering will be fast. you can control more thing by your own.
Android's MediaPlayer handle very well RTSP - don't open an external app - it's not necessary and product-wise wrong.
About your question - the browser might send another parameters to the video player that help the video play smooth, I didn't check it but it sounds like the only possible option for what you're describing. Example for the extra param might be the video resolution / encoding / size .. you can get all of them easily using MediaMetaDataRetriever.
If you don't want to use the native VideoView or MediaPlayer you can always add external player to your
app, like libVLC or Vitamio.
I recommend of using Vitamio, is really easy to use and integrate. LibVLC is in native code, it means you'll have to build it using ndk and add its libs to your project.
You can find here how to do that.
Android video view support RTSP urls well no need to pass intent to other application.Try out with this code, pass xml with declaration of video view and find it inside this activity.
public class VideoPlayer extends Activity
{
private VideoView mVideoView;
String videoURL="";
static Utility utility;
static Context context;
//MediaController mediaController;

{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.tab_video_player);

I think play video by Asynchronously for better performance. My code is:
private class myAsync extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void> {
int duration = 0;
//int current = 0;
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
videoView.seekTo(check);
videoView.start();
duration = videoView.getDuration();
}
});
do {
current = videoView.getCurrentPosition();
System.out.println("duration - " + duration + " current- "
+ current);
}
if (sync.isCancelled())
break;
} while (current != duration || current == 0);
return null;
}
}
I have an application that makes a list of videos with play button. When I click on the play button, a separate activity is started using intent. I just want that when the video playback is finished, the activity should automatically finish itself and go back to the main Activity. Here is my code for creating videoview.
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.videoview);
Intent i = getIntent();
Bundle extras = i.getExtras();
filename = extras.getString("videofilename");
mVideoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoview);
path=filename;
if (path == "") {
Toast.makeText(
ViewVideo.this,
"no video selected,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
mc = new MediaController(this);
mVideoView.setMediaController(mc);
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.start();
}
}
any suggestions???
Register an OnCompletionListener to the videoView, in the listener implement the call to finish().
Edit (to answer to comment):
use the method setOnCompletionListener:
mVideoView.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion (MediaPlayer mp) {
// your code to clean up and finish the activity...
}
});
You can set a MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener on the VideoView using VideoView.setOnCompletionListener, you'll then be able to finish the containing activity when the video finishes playing.
I have a list of songs that I'm streaming using the MediaPlayer. Some of the songs consistently work and others consistently do not work. I can't see a difference between these files, and they seem to play fine in itunes and such.
When the songs fail it is throwing an IllegalStateException on the mediaPlayer.prepare() line. The IllegalStateException that is thrown has no useful info in it, (detailMessage is null, stackState is null)
Here is my code
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(media.url);
setPlayerState(PlayerState.PREPARING);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e(TAG, "bad stream");
}
Here is a url to the file that does NOT work:
skdy.bryceb.dev.mediarain.com/song.m4a
Here is one that DOES work:
skdy.bryceb.dev.mediarain.com/song2.m4a
Any ideas why this works on some songs and fails on others?
Thanks MisterSquonk I'm sure that way would work.
In my particular case after beating my head against the wall for a while I realized that on some songs, I was getting to the buffered amount before the player state was getting set to prepared. So I added a check to make sure that the MediaPlayer was in the "PREPARED" state and then it worked great:
// Media prepared listener
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(
new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
setPlayerState(PlayerState.PREPARED);
}
});
// Media buffer listener
mediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(
new MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener() {
public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mp, int percent) {
// Sometimes the song will finish playing before the 100% loaded in has been
// dispatched, which result in the song playing again, so check to see if the
// song has completed first
if(getPlayerState() == PlayerState.COMPLETED)
return;
if(getPlayerState() == PlayerState.PAUSED)
return;
// If the music isn't already playing, and the buffer has been reached
if(!mediaPlayer.isPlaying() && percent > PERCENT_BUFFER) {
if(getPlayerState() == PlayerState.PREPARED)
{
mediaPlayer.start();
setPlayerState(PlayerState.PLAYING);
}
//if it isn't prepared, then we'll wait till the next buffering
//update
return;
}
}
});
OK, I hacked together a minimal Mediaplayer implementation in a 'sandbox' app/activity I always keep spare for testing.
I might be wrong but if you're streaming these songs over the net, you'll need to prefix the url with http://.
I tried the urls with Winamp and Chrome verbatim (no protocol prefix string) and they worked fine although it's likely both of those applications will use some form of intelligence to work out how to connect/stream.
If I tried that in my mediaPlayer code, I get the same exception as you but if I prefix the urls with http:// the songs play fine.
Example...
// Activity scope
Button button;
CheckBox checkBox;
String url = "";
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
//button declared in my activity
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(this);
if (!checkBox.isChecked())
url = getString(R.string.url_song1);
else
url = getString(R.string.url_song2);
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
}
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
try {
Log.i(TAG, "onClick() entered...");
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
Log.i(TAG, "Preparing mediaplayer...");
mediaPlayer.prepare();
Log.i(TAG, "Starting mediaplayer...");
mediaPlayer.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e(TAG, "bad stream");
}
}
If I copy the songs to my SD card both play fine and as long as the internet url strings have an 'http://' prefix then they also work.
