is it possible to display video information from an rtsp stream in an android app UI
- by Joseph Cheung
I have managed to get a working video player that can stream rtsp links, however im not sure how to display the videos current time position in the UI, i have used the getDuration and getCurrentPosition calls, stored this information in a string and tried to display it in the UI but it doesnt seem to work
in main.xml:
TextView android:id="@+id/player"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="1px"
android:text="@string/cpos"
/
in strings.xml:
string name="cpos""" /string
in Player.java
private void playVideo(String url) {
try {
media.setEnabled(false);
if (player == null) {
player = new MediaPlayer();
player.setScreenOnWhilePlaying(true);
} else {
player.stop();
player.reset();
}
player.setDataSource(url);
player.getCurrentPosition();
player.setDisplay(holder);
player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
player.setOnPreparedListener(this);
player.prepareAsync();
player.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
player.setOnCompletionListener(this);
} catch (Throwable t) {
Log.e(TAG, "Exception in media prep", t);
goBlooey(t);
try {
try {
player.prepare();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.v(TAG, "Duration: === " + player.getDuration());
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
private Runnable onEverySecond = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (lastActionTime 0
&& SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - lastActionTime 3000) {
clearPanels(false);
}
if (player != null) {
timeline.setProgress(player.getCurrentPosition());
//stores getCurrentPosition as a string
cpos = String.valueOf(player.getCurrentPosition());
System.out.print(cpos);
}
if (player != null) {
timeline.setProgress(player.getDuration());
//stores getDuration as a string
cdur = String.valueOf(player.getDuration());
System.out.print(cdur);
}
if (!isPaused) {
surface.postDelayed(onEverySecond, 1000);
}
}
};
