VideoView

Added in 1.0.0
Deprecated in 1.3.0

public class VideoView extends ViewGroup


A high level view for media playback that can be integrated with either a or a androidx.media2.session.MediaController. Developers can easily implement a video rendering application using this class. By default, a MediaControlView is attached so the playback control buttons are displayed on top of VideoView.

  5. Displaying Metadata

Using VideoView with androidx.media2.common.SessionPlayer or androidx.media2.session.MediaController

  • For simple use cases that do not require communication with a , apps need to create a player instance that extends androidx.media2.common.SessionPlayer (e.g. ) and link it to this view by calling setPlayer.
  • For more advanced use cases that require a androidx.media2.session.MediaSession (e.g. handling media key events, integrating with other androidx.media2.session.MediaSession apps as Assistant), apps need to create a that's attached to the and link it to this view by calling setMediaController.

Using VideoView with MediaControlView

VideoView is working with MediaControlView and a MediaControlView instance is attached to VideoView by default.

If you want to attach a custom MediaControlView, assign the custom media control widget using setMediaControlView.

If you don't want to use MediaControlView, set the VideoView attribute enableControlView to false.

Choosing a view type

VideoView can render videos on a TextureView or SurfaceView. The default is SurfaceView which can be changed by using the setViewType method or by setting the viewType attribute in the layout file.

SurfaceView is recommended in most cases for saving battery life. TextureView might be preferred for supporting various UIs such as animation and translucency.

Comparison with android.widget.VideoView

These are the main differences between the media2 VideoView widget and the older android widget:

Displaying Metadata

When you play music only (sound with no video), VideoView can display album art and other metadata by calling setMetadata. The following table shows the metadata displayed by the VideoView, and the default values assigned if the keys are not set:
Key Default
METADATA_KEY_TITLE mcv2_music_title_unknown_text
METADATA_KEY_ARTIST mcv2_music_artist_unknown_text
METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ART media2_widget_ic_default_album_image

Note: VideoView does not retain its full state when going into the background. In particular, it does not save, and does not restore the current play state, play position, selected tracks. Applications should save and restore these on their own in onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState.

Attributes :

Example of attributes for a VideoView with TextureView and no attached control view:

<androidx.media2.widget.VideoView
    android:id="@+id/video_view"
    widget:enableControlView="false"
    widget:viewType="textureView"
/>

public void setMediaControlView(
    @NonNull MediaControlView mediaControlView,
    long intervalMs
)

Sets MediaControlView instance. It will replace the previously assigned instance if any.
