Edit: i thought i had a problem with my implementation of the fragment that caused the videoView not to work, but it turned out that the implementation was correct and i just had a problem with the layout xml of the videoView. ill keep the code as an example of a correct implementation of a videoView inside a fragment using viewpager:)
this is my Fragment:
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.media.ThumbnailUtils;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.VideoView;
import uk.co.senab.photoview.PhotoView;
import uk.co.senab.photoview.PhotoViewAttacher;
public class ScreenSlidePageFragment extends Fragment {
private Context context = null; //TODO MAKE SETTER
private String fileName;
private final String FILE_NAME = "FILE_name";
/**
* Factory method for this fragment class. Constructs a new fragment.
*/
public static ScreenSlidePageFragment create(String fileName, Context context) {
ScreenSlidePageFragment fragment = new ScreenSlidePageFragment();
fragment.setFileName(fileName);
fragment.setContext(context);
return fragment;
}
public ScreenSlidePageFragment() {
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// fileName = getArguments().getString(FILE_NAME);
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout containing a title and body text.
ViewGroup rootView = (ViewGroup) inflater
.inflate(R.layout.fragment_screen_slide_page, container, false);
// Set the title view to show the page number.
String name = this.fileName;
if (name != null) {
if (name.endsWith(".jpg")) {
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(name);
ImageView view = (ImageView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
view.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
PhotoViewAttacher mAttacher = new PhotoViewAttacher(view);
}
if (name.endsWith(".mp4")) {
final VideoView video = (VideoView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
video.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
video.requestFocus();
video.start();
}
});
video.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(name));
// Bitmap bitmap = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail("/storage/sdcard0/Android/data/huji.ac.il.test/files/savedFiles/150401015447.mp4", MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND);
// ImageView view = (ImageView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
// view.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
}
return rootView;
}
public void setFileName(String fileName) {
this.fileName = fileName;
}
public void setContext(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
}
this is the layout "fragment_screen_slide_page.xml":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
android:layout_gravity="center"
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
/>
<VideoView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/videoView"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />
</LinearLayout>
here is the activity that usess the fragment:
public class ScreenSlideActivity extends FragmentActivity {
private ViewPager mPager;
private PagerAdapter mPagerAdapter;
private ArrayList<String> fileNameList;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
// Hide the status bar.
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_screen_slide);
fileNameList=getImagesFromStorage();
// Instantiate a ViewPager and a PagerAdapter.
mPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mPagerAdapter = new ScreenSlidePagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), fileNameList,this);
mPager.setAdapter(mPagerAdapter);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
public ArrayList<String> getImagesFromStorage()
{
ArrayList<String> fileNameList= new ArrayList<String>();
File file= new File(getApplicationContext().getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath()+ File.separator + "savedFiles");
if (file.isDirectory())
{
File[] listOfFiles= file.listFiles();
for (int i = 0; i <listOfFiles.length; i++)
{
fileNameList.add(listOfFiles[i].getAbsolutePath());
}
}
return fileNameList;
}
}
I tried turning on GPU Acceleration as some post suggested but it didn't work. I tried playing the video on the main activity instead on the fragment and it worked, so im gussing that the problem is with my fragment. any suggestions?
Edit:
the adapter:
public class ScreenSlidePagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
private ArrayList<String> fileNames;
private Context context=null;
public ScreenSlidePagerAdapter(FragmentManager fragmentManager, ArrayList<String> fileNameList,Context context) {
super(fragmentManager);
this.fileNames=fileNameList;
this.context=context;
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return ScreenSlidePageFragment.create(fileNames.get(position),this.context);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return fileNames.size();
}
}
