Custom Android video player API library. Simple and integrate with your apps quickly and efficiently.

Whats New:

New Name

Renamed the library to Exposure Vidsta. While doing so I have reset version control back to v1.0.0.

Keep in mind the old gradle link will still work I am not going to get rid of it. But its version will stay the same.

But new versions will use new naming.

Version 1.0.5

-Fixed constraint layout error as I was including it in the gradle but I wasnt using it.

Version 1.0.4

-Fullscreen can now be rotated.

-Thumbnail Image can now be scaled and changed with ImageView matrix. Plus the abiliy to grab the imageview from the view.

Version 1.0.3

-Thumbnaiul View.

-Standalone Player - Has its own activity.

-Fullscreen Button working.

-Fullscreen Button is now able to be disabled.

-Autoplay working.

-Removed auto hide controls on play. Will add in again at later date.

-Video listners working. Also they have changed from implementing them all, so implementing select listeners you choose.

-Layout created, destryoed, paused or resumed listeners are now working.

Feature List:

-UI is very similar to what youtube uses as such.

-Simple and easy to use and setup.

-Allot of feature to be still implemented.

More detailed Wiki found here.

Video Player Setup

Firstly Add this to your layout

<nz.co.delacour.exposurevidsta.Vidsta
    android:id="@+id/evp"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

If you have not change any layout settings in the above snippet. The basic base video player will have theses settings.

-Autoplay set to false (Disabled).

-Auto Fullscreen and Fullscreen set to false (Disabled).

-Color tint of play and pause button set to white. (Default)

Then... You should be able to work it out from here.

Wiki is still begin developed so if you have any issues please feel free to email me on chris@delacour.co.nz.

 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements VideoListeners {

    Vidsta vid;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        vid = (Vidsta) findViewById(R.id.evp);
        vid.init(this);//You must include a Activity here, for the video player will not function correctly.
        vid.setVideoSource(videoSource);
        // Set video source from raw source, vid.setVideoSource("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/"+R.raw.big_buck_bunny);
        vid.setOnVideoListeners(this);
        // If you haven't set autoplay to true you can with start the video with one of these,
        // vid.start();
        // Or you can wait for the user to click the play button on screen.
        ...
    }
}

NOTE: In your code you must include the init() method, for the video player to function correctly.

Thumbnail View Setup

    <nz.co.delacour.exposurevidsta.VidstaThumbnailView
        android:id="@+id/etv"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

And again same as above, bit slightly different.

    VidstaThumbnailView thumb;
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            //Thumbnail view uses the first frame(first milisecond) of video given as source.
            thumb = (VidstaThumbnailView) findViewById(R.id.thumb);
            thumb.setVideoSource("http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4");
            thumb.setAutoPlay(true);//Set your video settings if you need them. They carry over the the standalone player.
            thumb.setFullScreen(false);
            thumb.disableStandalonePlayer(true);//Disables standalone player.
            thumb.setOnThumbnailClickListener(new OnThumbnailClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick() {
                    Log.e("Thumbnail: ", "Clicked");
                    //Standlone activity starts here.
                    //Add your own on clicks methods here.
                    //Start activity with video player etc.
                }
            });
        }
        ...
