Android - Listener (or handler) for video finish

Question

Hi there!

I have implement the following code in order to test playing a video from a remote web server through it´s URL.

videoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
     MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
     videoView.setMediaController(mc);
     videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://sayedhashimi.com/downloads/android/movie.mp4"));
     videoView.requestFocus();

The code is working just fine, even in the Android emulator. I just would like to know if there's any listener (or handler) to detect the finish of the video that is being reproduced?

Thanks in advance for the help, Best regards!

Answer 1

Seems you are looking for

setOnCompletionListener(MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener l)

More in depth explanation can be found here

EDIT

This shows a solution where playback is called after completion using VideoView, MediaController and setOnCompletionListener().

Answer 2

Hi again!

I have the following code now:

   @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     this.setContentView(R.layout.player);

     videoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
     playVideo();

     // video finish listener
     videoView.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {

      @Override
      public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
       // not playVideo
                            // playVideo();

                            mp.start();
      }
     });
    }

    public void playVideo() {
         MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
         videoView.setMediaController(mc);
         videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://sayedhashimi.com/downloads/android/movie.mp4"));
         videoView.requestFocus(); 
        }

When the activity is just called, the video works fine but when the video finishes, I would like that it played again, wich it's not occurring.

Can anyone give me some help?

Thanks in advance, Best regards!
