I tried all these and still the media player continues playing when I press the back button and return to the previous activity
oncreate ........ new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
int newInt = sharedPreferences.getInt("B" , DEFALT );
if (newInt == DEFALT) {
releaseMediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(AlsamadSuraST3.this, wordsResourceArray[0][0]);
if (!mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.start();
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(mCompletionListener);
editor.putInt("B" , DEFALT + 5 );
editor.apply();;
}
}
#Override

super.onPause();
releaseMediaPlayer();
}
#Override

}
#Override

}
#Override

}
private void releaseMediaPlayer() {
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.stop();
}
mediaPlayer.release();
mediaPlayer = null;
mAudioManager.abandonAudioFocus(mOnAudioFocusChangeListener);
}
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
releaseMediaPlayer();
}
How can I stop the media player when i return to the previous activity >> there are many answers included onpause , onstop ondestroy but none of them worked
I have a video view in an activity.
private void videoInit() {
videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView);
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
videoView.start();
mp.setLooping(true);
}
});
videoView.setVideoPath("android.resource://com.aplos.ideliver2/raw/iphone_inner_animation");//src/main/res/raw
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
}
This is my function, and the dialog is opened with an intent to the other class.
This is executed for a scenario.
private void processError(Response mResponse) {
try {
AlertDialog.strMessage = mResponse.getResponseMessage();
AlertDialog.strTitle = "Alert";
AlertDialog.strButtonTitle = "OK";
startActivity(new Intent(context, AlertDialog.class));
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fade_in, R.anim.fade_out);
} catch (Exception e) {
H.Handle(e);
}
}
When the dialog is opened the video stops. I want to have the video running continuosly.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
super.onBackPressed();
videoView.stopPlayback();
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
videoView.stopPlayback();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
videoView.start();
}
#Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
videoView.start();
}
Remove these two
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
videoView.stopPlayback();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
videoView.start();
}
And add
#Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onPause();
videoView.stopPlayback();
}
#Override
protected void onRestart() {
super.onResume();
videoView.start();
}
Because onPause will be called when your window is even partially obscured, like a pop up appearing.
Edit: Since you asked me to explain why it works you need to understand the activty life cycle. OnStart() will be called when the activity is completly not visible to the user, but onPause will be called when the activity is even partially invisible, like an alert box showing on the activity, or when you pull down to see your notifications etc.
To know more about activity life cycle check this out
Use
onStop() instead of onPause()
and
onRestart() instead of onResume()
Good Luck...!
I managed to get my video to play with VideoView but after I rotate my device video stops and starts playing from the beginning. I placed my VideoView inside fragment.
I tried this inside my fragment but without success:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setRetainInstance(true);
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if(video.isPlaying()) {
video.pause();
progress = video.getCurrentPosition();
}
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if(video.isPlaying() && progress!=0) {
video.seekTo(progress);
video.start();
}
}
How to keep video playing after screen rotates?
I have a VideoView and it is pause when I start an Email intent. When the email intent is done, I want the videoView to continue playing, however, it restarts from the beginning.
#Override
public void onPause() {
Log.d(TAG, "onPause called");
super.onPause();
videoView.pause();
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d(TAG, "onResume called");
videoView.start();//resume() doesnt work
}
How can I get the videoView to resume from where it left off.
What about this:
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d(TAG, "onResume called");
videoView.seekTo(stopPosition);
videoView.start(); //Or use resume() if it doesn't work. I'm not sure
}
// This gets called before onPause so pause video here.
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
stopPosition = videoView.getCurrentPosition();
videoView.pause();
outState.putInt("position", stopPosition);
}
Then in your onCreate() call the stopPosition from the bundle and set it globally
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle args) {
super.onCreate(args);
if( args != null ) {
stopPosition = args.getInt("position");
}
Using seekTo gives a slight flickering efeect while resuming the video. Better approach would be using pause() and start() methods of MediaPlayer class instead of using methods from VideoView. The start() method of VideoView restarts the video from the beginning, but start() method of MediaPlayer resumes the video if the pause() method had been previously called.
Here is what official android doc says
public void start ()
Added in API level 1 Starts or resumes playback. If playback had
previously been paused, playback will continue from where it was
paused. If playback had been stopped, or never started before,
playback will start at the beginning.
You can get the MediaPlayer associated with a VideoView in OnPreparedListener of VideoView.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView1);
videoView.setVideoPath(path);
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mMediaPlayer = mp;
}
});
}
}
Then subsequent pause() and resume() methods can be called on MediaPlayer object itself.
//To pause the video
mMediaPlayer.pause();
//To resume the video
mMediaPlayer.start();
Very simple yet efficient solution. Hope it helps!
How can I stop a YouTube video which is played in my webview? When I click on the back button the video doesn't stop and instead continues in the background.
Code:
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
webView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
webView.loadData(myUrl,"text/html", "utf-8");
See the following post about WebView threads never stopping
Essentially you'll need to call the WebView's onPause method from your own Activity's onPause method.
The only trick with this is that you cannot call the WebView's onPause method directly because it is hidden. Therefore you will need to call it indirectly via reflection. The following code should get you started on setting up your own Activity's onPause method:
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
try {
Class.forName("android.webkit.WebView")
.getMethod("onPause", (Class[]) null)
.invoke(webview, (Object[]) null);
} catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
...
} catch(NoSuchMethodException nsme) {
...
} catch(InvocationTargetException ite) {
...
} catch (IllegalAccessException iae) {
...
}
}
Note that the variable 'webview' in the try block above is a private instance variable for the class and is assigned to in the Activity's onCreate method.
Solution: 1 -
After spending lot of time, I got the conclusion to pause the video which is playing with WebView <iframe> concept of HTML.
Just override the onPause() method on Activity or Fragment whereever you used WebView, and call it. It works for me.
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
mWebView.onPause();
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mWebView.onResume();
}
Solution: 2 -
If above solution doesn't work for you then you can force WebView to load a non existent html file.
mWebview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/nonexistent.html");
you also have to implement the onResume() method or second time it won't work
#Override
public void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
webView.onResume();
}
#Override
public void onPause()
{
super.onPause();
webView.onPause();
}
The above solution failed for me on Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.3.3.
But I made success trying the below workaround:
webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/nonexistent.html");
I am forcing the webview to load a non existent html file. This seems to be forcing the webview to clean things up.
Try this:
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
myWebView.onPause();
myWebView.pauseTimers();
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
myWebView.resumeTimers();
myWebView.onResume();
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
myWebView.destroy();
myWebView = null;
super.onDestroy();
}
And here's my personal favourite:
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if (isFinishing()) {
webView.loadUrl("about:blank");
} else {
webView.onPause();
webView.pauseTimers();
}
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
webView.resumeTimers();
webView.onResume();
}
It pauses the webview if the view is only paused, but clears it when the activity is finished.
This requires at least Android 3.0 - API 11 (Honeycomb)
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(keyCode==event.KEYCODE_BACK)
{
mWebview.loadUrl("");
mWebview.stopLoading();
finish();
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
it works
The above approach did not work for me, one which worked for me is :
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
((AudioManager)getSystemService(
Context.AUDIO_SERVICE)).requestAudioFocus(
new OnAudioFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onAudioFocusChange(int focusChange) {}
}, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN_TRANSIENT);
}
Webview.loadUrl("about:blank");
it is also working
After having encountered this problem it seems that onPause might not be doing anything... for me it was not stopping whatever was playing in background.
so my code now looks like
#Override
protected void onPause() {
mWebView.onPause();
super.onPause();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
mWebView.onResume();
super.onResume();
}
#Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
mWebView.saveState(outState);
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
mWebView.destroy();
mWebView = null;
super.onDestroy();
}
Hope it helps anyone with the same problem as me
you can try this
webView.loadUrl("javascript:document.location=document.location");
if the page which is loading is one you can edit then you can write a javascript method which stop the audio and call when you want to stop like.
Javascript function
function stopAudio(){
audios=document.querySelectorAll('audio');
for(i=0;i<audios.length;i++){
audios[i].stop();
}
}
From Andorid Call this method
webView.loadUrl("javascript:stopAudio()");
if the page is not editable by you the you can inject the js code
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
injectScriptFile(view, "js/script.js");
}
How to Inject See Here in Detail
Based on #sommesh's answer:
override fun onPause() {
super.onPause()
val audioManager = getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE) as AudioManager
if (Utils.hasOreoSDK26()) {
val audioAttributes = AudioAttributes.Builder()
.setUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_MEDIA)
.setContentType(AudioAttributes.CONTENT_TYPE_MUSIC)
.build()
val audioFocusRequest = AudioFocusRequest.Builder(AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN_TRANSIENT)
.setAudioAttributes(audioAttributes)
.setAcceptsDelayedFocusGain(true)
.setWillPauseWhenDucked(true)
.setOnAudioFocusChangeListener(
{ focusChange -> Timber.i(">>> Focus change to : %d", focusChange) },
Handler())
.build()
audioManager.requestAudioFocus(audioFocusRequest)
} else {
audioManager.requestAudioFocus({ }, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN_TRANSIENT)
}
}
This works for me.
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if (wViewCampaign != null){
wViewCampaign.stopLoading();
wViewCampaign.loadUrl("");
wViewCampaign.reload();
wViewCampaign = null;
}
}
You can do it by using the method onPause() of the of WebView when is executed the method onPause()of your Activity :
#override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
webview.onPause();
}
}
works for API >= 11 (Honeycomb)
I tried all above answer , but most of them not work for me. so i just write my own solution which works fine in all type of media playing in webview
String lastUrl = "";
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
lastUrl = webView.getUrl();
webView.loadUrl("");
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
webView.loadUrl(lastUrl);
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
webView = null;
}
This is what finally worked after trying each and every code provided on this page. Uff!
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if (mWebView != null) {
mWebView.stopLoading();
mWebView.reload();
}
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
In my situation, the player keep running after the WebView is "onPause."
So I check if the WebView is attached to the windows before playing video or music.
It is JavaScriptInterface method for checking WebView's "isAttachedToWindow()" return true/false.
(And I didn't forget to call onPause/onResume in Activity/Fragment.)
This code works perfect for me.
#Override protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
wv.onPause();
wv.pauseTimers();
}
#Override protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
wv.resumeTimers();
wv.onResume();
}
