Fenster

A library to display videos in a TextureView using a custom MediaPlayer controller as described in this blog post http://www.malmstein.com/how-to-use-a-textureview-to-display-a-video-with-custom-media-player-controls/

Install

To get the current snapshot version:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.malmstein:fenster:0.0.1'
    }
}

Displaying a video with custom controller

Add a TextureVideoView and a PlayerController to your Activity or Fragment

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@color/default_bg"
  tools:context=".DemoActivity">

  <com.malmstein.fenster.view.FensterVideoView
    android:id="@+id/play_video_texture"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:keepScreenOn="true"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true" />

  <com.malmstein.fenster.controller.MediaFensterPlayerController
    android:id="@+id/play_video_controller"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true" />

</FrameLayout>

Setting video URL

In order to display a video, simply set the video URL and call start. You can also start the video from a desired second too.

@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);

    textureView = (TextureVideoView) findViewById(R.id.play_video_texture);
    playerController = (PlayerController) findViewById(R.id.play_video_controller);

    textureView.setMediaController(playerController);

    textureView.setVideo("http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4",
                PlayerController.DEFAULT_VIDEO_START);
    textureView.start();
}

Exposed listeners

By default there are the exposed listeners. The NavigationListener will listen to the to Previous and Next events triggered by the controller. The VisibilityListener will be triggered when the PlayerController visibility changes.

playerController.setNavigationListener(this);
playerController.setVisibilityListener(this);

Using the Gesture Detection Player Controller

Attach a listener to your player controller

As described in this blog post http://www.malmstein.com/how-to-use-a-textureview-to-display-a-video-with-custom-media-player-controls/ it's very simple to use. Just add a listener to Player Controller

playerController.setFensterEventsListener(this);

The Fenster Events Listener allows you to react to the gestures

public interface FensterEventsListener {

    void onTap();

    void onHorizontalScroll(MotionEvent event, float delta);

    void onVerticalScroll(MotionEvent event, float delta);

    void onSwipeRight();

    void onSwipeLeft();

    void onSwipeBottom();

    void onSwipeTop();
}

Use MediaPlayerController instead of SimpleMediaPlayerController

MediaFensterPlayerController also shows volume and brightness controls, if you just want to use a simple media controller then the recommendation is to use SimpleMediaFensterPlayerController

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@color/default_bg"
  tools:context=".DemoActivity">

  <com.malmstein.fenster.view.FensterVideoView
    android:id="@+id/play_video_texture"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:keepScreenOn="true"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true" />

  <com.malmstein.fenster.controller.SimpleMediaFensterPlayerController
    android:id="@+id/play_video_controller"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true" />

</FrameLayout>

Using the Volume and Brightness Seekbar

Add them to your layout:

  <com.malmstein.fenster.seekbar.BrightnessSeekBar
    android:id="@+id/media_controller_volume"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

  <com.malmstein.fenster.seekbar.VolumeSeekBar
    android:id="@+id/media_controller_volume"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Initialise them from your Fragment or Activity:

mVolume = (VolumeSeekBar) findViewById(R.id.media_controller_volume);
mVolume.initialise(this);

mBrightness = (BrightnessSeekBar) findViewById(R.id.media_controller_brightness);
mBrightness.initialise(this);

You'll get a callback when the seekbar is being dragged:

@Override
public void onVolumeStartedDragging() {
    mDragging = true;
}

@Override
public void onVolumeFinishedDragging() {
    mDragging = false;
}

@Override
public void onBrigthnessStartedDragging() {
    mDragging = true;
}

@Override
public void onBrightnessFinishedDragging() {
    mDragging = false;
}
