Usage

For a working implementation of this project see the sample app.

  1. add library dependency to your build.gradle file. groovy dependencies { compile 'com.linsea:universalvideoview:1.1.0@aar' }
  2. Include the UniversalVideoView and UniversalMediaController widget in your layout. This should usually be placed in the same parent ViewGroup, which makes sense when in full screen state.

            <FrameLayout
                android:id="@+id/video_layout"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="200dp"
                android:background="@android:color/black">
    
                <com.universalvideoview.UniversalVideoView
                    android:id="@+id/videoView"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_gravity="center"
                    app:uvv_autoRotation="true"
                    app:uvv_fitXY="false" />
    
                <com.universalvideoview.UniversalMediaController
                    android:id="@+id/media_controller"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                    app:uvv_scalable="true" />
    
            </FrameLayout>
    
  3. In your onCreate method, set the UniversalMediaController to the UniversalVideoView and implements the UniversalVideoView.VideoViewCallback Callback.

            View mBottomLayout;
            View mVideoLayout;
            UniversalVideoView mVideoView;
            UniversalMediaController mMediaController;
    
            mVideoView = (UniversalVideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
            mMediaController = (UniversalMediaController) findViewById(R.id.media_controller);
            mVideoView.setMediaController(mMediaController);
    
            mVideoView.setVideoViewCallback(new UniversalVideoView.VideoViewCallback() {
                @Override
                public void onScaleChange(boolean isFullscreen) {
                    this.isFullscreen = isFullscreen;
                    if (isFullscreen) {
                        ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = mVideoLayout.getLayoutParams();
                        layoutParams.width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
                        layoutParams.height = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
                        mVideoLayout.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
                        //GONE the unconcerned views to leave room for video and controller
                        mBottomLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                    } else {
                        ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = mVideoLayout.getLayoutParams();
                        layoutParams.width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
                        layoutParams.height = this.cachedHeight;
                        mVideoLayout.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
                        mBottomLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                    }
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onPause(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) { // Video pause
                    Log.d(TAG, "onPause UniversalVideoView callback");
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onStart(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) { // Video start/resume to play
                    Log.d(TAG, "onStart UniversalVideoView callback");
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onBufferingStart(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {// steam start loading
                    Log.d(TAG, "onBufferingStart UniversalVideoView callback");
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onBufferingEnd(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {// steam end loading
                    Log.d(TAG, "onBufferingEnd UniversalVideoView callback");
                }
    
            });
    

Note

  • Support Android Gingerbread V2.3(API Level 9 and above).
  • UniversalVideoView does not retain its full state when going into the background. You should save or restore the state and take care of the Activity Lifecycle.
  • You may need to set the android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize" for your Activity in AndroidManifest.xml to prevent the system from recreate the Activity while phone rotation.
