I am working on this very simple app that plays videos in a loop with a countDowntimer attached to it. Essentially what I have is the following:
- I instantiate the VideoView
- If the user checked for the video to loop (1x or 2x)
Then in the countdownTimer's
onFinish()I wait a few seconds and then start a new activity like such:public void openCompletedWorkout() { handler = new Handler(); handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { final Intent mainIntent = new Intent(getActivity(), CompletedWorkoutActivity.class); getActivity().startActivity(mainIntent); getActivity().finish(); } }, 5000); }
The above method is called inside the onFinish() method (of the CoundDownTimer).
The problem is if the user doesn't want to have the videoPlayer to loop, everything works fine, meaning, the onFinish() function calls the OpenCompletedWorkout() method without crashing ( the activity opens with no problem). However, when the user either says that they want for the video to loop 1x or 2x, when it comes time to call onFinish(), the app crashes.
I don't know what's wrong. I have been trying to fix this issue for the past 4hrs and still having a lot of issues.
Just to put things into perspective, below is my fragmentActivity where all is happening:
