Event for Videoview Playback State or Mediacontroller Play/Pause

Event for VideoView playback state or MediaController play/pause

If you're using the MediaController in combination with a VideoView, it should be relatively easy to extend the latter and add your own listener to it.

The custom VideoView would then look something like this in its most basic form:

public class CustomVideoView extends VideoView {

    private PlayPauseListener mListener;

    public CustomVideoView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public CustomVideoView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public CustomVideoView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public void setPlayPauseListener(PlayPauseListener listener) {
        mListener = listener;
    }

    @Override
    public void pause() {
        super.pause();
        if (mListener != null) {
            mListener.onPause();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void start() {
        super.start();
        if (mListener != null) {
            mListener.onPlay();
        }
    }

    public static interface PlayPauseListener {
        void onPlay();
        void onPause();
    }

}

Using it is identical to using a regular VideoView, with the only difference being that we can now hook up our own listener to it.

// Some other code above...
CustomVideoView cVideoView = (CustomVideoView) findViewById(R.id.custom_videoview);
cVideoView.setPlayPauseListener(new CustomVideoView.PlayPauseListener() {

    @Override
    public void onPlay() {
        System.out.println("Play!");
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        System.out.println("Pause!");
    }
});

cVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
cVideoView.setVideoURI(...);
// or
cVideoView.setVideoPath(...);
// Some other code below...

Finally, you may also declare it in your xml layout and inflate it (as shown above) - just make sure your use <package_name>.CustomVideoView. Example:

<mh.so.CustomVideoView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/custom_videoview" />

How to catch event when click pause/play button on MediaController

A bit of a late answer, but I posted a solution to an identical question overhere, in case you're still looking (or others that perhaps bump into this...)

Android mediacontroller Play Pause controls not refresh properly

I've been having the same issue. I was not calling MediaController.setVideoView as you were, as I thought VideoView.setMediaController was sufficient for wiring things up. I tried adding that, then moving the call to show within onPrepared, and now it is working.

I wish I had a better understanding; my best guess is that perhaps everything needs to be wired up properly before the media is prepared, and before calling show. In any case, here is what I have:

mMediaController = new MediaController(VideoPlayerActivity.this, false);

mVideoView.setOnPreparedListener( new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {            
    @Override
    public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer pMp) {
        mMediaController.show();
    }       
});

mVideoView.setMediaController(mMediaController);
mMediaController.setMediaPlayer(mVideoView);
mVideoView.setVideoPath(uri);  // may not be applicable in your case
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.start();

VideoView onTouch events: pause/resume video, and show/hide MediaController and ActionBar

To first show the video as paused, simply change seekTo(0) to seekTo(1) in your code. This will move the video to the time at 1 millisecond and you can take it from there.

//edited here
private int position = 1;
private MediaController mMediaController;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mMediaController = new MediaController(getActivity());
    ...
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup parent, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{

    if (savedInstanceState != null)
    {
        position = savedInstanceState.getInt("position");
    }

    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_video_view, parent, false);

    mVideoView = (VideoView) v.findViewById(R.id.fragmentVideoView);
    mVideoView.setVideoPath(videoPath);
    mVideoView.setMediaController(mMediaController);

    mVideoView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener()
    {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent motionEvent)
        {
            if (mVideoView.isPlaying())
            {
                mVideoView.pause();
                if (!getActivity().getActionBar().isShowing())
                {
                    getActivity().getActionBar().show();
                    mMediaController.show(0);
                }
                position = mVideoView.getCurrentPosition();
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                if (getActivity().getActionBar().isShowing())
                {
                    getActivity().getActionBar().hide();
                    mMediaController.hide();
                }
                mVideoView.seekTo(position);
                mVideoView.start();
                return false;
            }
        }
    });

    mVideoView.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer)
        {
            //here
            mVideoView.seekTo(1);
        }
    });
    //here
    if (position != 1)
    {
        mVideoView.seekTo(position);
        mVideoView.start();
    }
    else
    {
         //here
         mVideoView.seekTo(1);
    }
}

@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);

    if (mVideoView != null)
    {
        savedInstanceState.putInt("position", mVideoView.getCurrentPosition());
    }

    mVideoView.pause();
}

}

How to detect when VideoView starts playing (Android)?

I ended up using VideoView.setOnPreparedListener. This was enough to cover my problem (play button drawable change to pause)
