Android VideoView MediaPlayer OnInfoListener - events not fired

Question

this following source code snippet is given:

videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onP         


        

Answer 1

If you want to show loading each time it's buffering (initial time or subsequent buffer underruns) just ensure to show it again:

// at the beginning
show

boolean onInfo(int what, int extra) {
  switch (what) {
    case MEDIA_INFO_BUFFERING_END:
      "hide";
      break;
    case MEDIA_INFO_BUFFERING_START
      "show":
  }
}

So this event sequence will do as desired:

- whenever you start (setVideoURI or start): show
- onPrepared: just plug the info listener
- onInfo BUFFERING_END   hide (it's playing)
- onInfo BUFFERING_START show (it's buffering again)
- onInfo BUFFERING_END   hide (it's playing)

Update:

This is assuming the info events work. Of course.
