I'm using the new features from ExoPlayer 2.x to play a list of audio files like this:
List<MediaSource> playlist = new ArrayList<>(); ... ConcatenatingMediaSource concatenatedSource = new ConcatenatingMediaSource( playlist.toArray(new MediaSource[playlist.size()])); mExoPlayer.prepare(concatenatedSource); mExoPlayer.setPlayWhenReady(true);
This is working fine, but in order to update my UI accordingly, I need to know which track is currently playing and the progress of this track. Is there any listener from ExoPlayer?
Thanks!
1 Answer. Show activity on this post. 3] Just check by clicking next button from the media controller if that works then you are done, now the videos will be played automatically once finished the current one.
You can do this: playerExo. addListener(new ExoPlayer. Listener() { @Override public void onPlayerStateChanged(boolean playWhenReady, int playbackState) { switch(playbackState) { case ExoPlayer.
You can use exoplayer. getPlayWhenReady() to check whether the player is currently in a pause state or playing state.
So I am in a similar scenario and need to know when the next video in the playlist starts. I found that the ExoPlayer.EventListener
has a method called onPositionDiscontinuity()
that gets called every time the video changes or "seeks" to the next in the playlist.
I haven't played around with this method extensively, but from what I can see so far, this is the method that you should be concerned about. There are no parameters that get passed when the method is fired, so you'll have to keep some kind of counter or queue to keep track of whats being played at any given moment.
Hopefully this helps!
Edit: change in index returned by Exoplayer.getCurrentWindowIndex()
is the recommended way to detect item change in a playlist MediaSource
.
int lastWindowIndex = 0; // global var in your class encapsulating exoplayer obj (Activity, etc.) exoPlayer.addListener(new ExoPlayer.EventListener() { @Override public void onLoadingChanged(boolean isLoading) { } @Override public void onPlayerStateChanged(boolean playWhenReady, int playbackState) { } @Override public void onTimelineChanged(Timeline timeline, Object manifest) { } @Override public void onPlayerError(ExoPlaybackException error) { } @Override public void onPositionDiscontinuity() { //THIS METHOD GETS CALLED FOR EVERY NEW SOURCE THAT IS PLAYED int latestWindowIndex = exoPlayer.getCurrentWindowIndex(); if (latestWindowIndex != lastWindowIndex) { // item selected in playlist has changed, handle here lastWindowIndex = latestWindowIndex; // ... } } });
You can implement the following event and update your ui according to the player's state.
mExoPlayer.addListener(new ExoPlayer.Listener() { @Override public void onPlayerStateChanged(boolean playWhenReady, int playbackState) { if (playbackState == PlaybackStateCompat.STATE_PLAYING) { //do something } } @Override public void onPlayWhenReadyCommitted() { } @Override public void onPlayerError(ExoPlaybackException error) { mExoPlayer.stop(); } });
