SeekBar and media player in android

Question

I have a simple player and recorder. Everything works great but have a one problem. I want to add seek bar to see progress in playing record and use this seek bar to set pl

Answer 1

This works for me:

seekbarPlayer.setMax(mp.getDuration());
getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        if(mp != null){
            seekbarPlayer.setProgress(mp.getCurrentPosition());
        }
        mHandler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
    }
});

Answer 2

Try this Code:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

MediaPlayer mplayer;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

            //You create MediaPlayer variable ==> set the path and start the audio.

    mplayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.example);
    mplayer.start();

            //Find the seek bar by Id (which you have to create in layout)
            // Set seekBar max with length of audio
           // You need a Timer variable to set progress with position of audio

    final SeekBar seekBar = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.seekBar);
    seekBar.setMax(mplayer.getDuration());

    new Timer().scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    seekBar.setProgress(mplayer.getCurrentPosition());
                }
            }, 0, 1000);


            seekBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
                @Override
                public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser) {

            // Update the progress depending on seek bar
                    mplayer.seekTo(progress);

                }

                @Override
                public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {

                }

                @Override
                public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {

                }
            });
        }

Answer 3

To add on to @hardartcore's answer.

1. Instead of calling postDelayed on a Handler, the best approach would be to get callbacks from the MediaPlayer during play-back and then accordingly update the seekBar with the progress.

2. Also, pause your MediaPlayer at onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) of the OnSeekBarChangeListener and then re-start it on onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar).

Answer 4

Code in Kotlin:

var updateSongTime = object : Runnable {
            override fun run() {
                val getCurrent = mediaPlayer?.currentPosition
                startTimeText?.setText(String.format("%d:%d",
                        TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(getCurrent?.toLong() as Long),
                        TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(getCurrent?.toLong()) -
                                TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(
                                        TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(getCurrent?.toLong()))))
                seekBar?.setProgress(getCurrent?.toInt() as Int)
                Handler().postDelayed(this, 1000)
            }
        }

For changing media player audio file every second

If user drags the seek bar then following code snippet can be use

Statified.seekBar?.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(object : SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener {
            override fun onProgressChanged(seekBar: SeekBar, i: Int, b: Boolean) {
                if(b && Statified.mediaPlayer != null){
                    Statified.mediaPlayer?.seekTo(i)
                }

            }
            override fun onStartTrackingTouch(seekBar: SeekBar) {}
            override fun onStopTrackingTouch(seekBar: SeekBar) {}
        })

Answer 5

Based on previous statements, for better performance, you can also add an if condition

if (player.isPlaying() {
    handler.postDelayed(..., 1000);
}

Answer 6

Given the answer hardartcore that worked for me with a small change and did not work before the change:

private Handler mHandler = new Handler();
MusicPlayer.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
     @Override
     public void run() {
          if(player != null){
               int mCurrentPosition = player.getCurrentPosition();//clear ' /1000 '
               seekBar.setProgress(mCurrentPosition);
          }
          mHandler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
      }
});



seekBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {

    @Override
    public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser) {
          if(player != null && fromUser){
              player.seekTo(progress); // clear ' * 1000  '
          }
     }
});
