There are some cases where you need to create an ExoPlayer with TextureView. TextureView can be customized more easily.
1. Add to manifest editor:
2.
Example of flipped video player:
1. Add to manifest editor:
B4X:
CreateResource(layout, layout1.xml,
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<androidx.media3.ui.PlayerView android:id="@+id/exoplayer1"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
app:surface_type="texture_view"
/>
</LinearLayout>
)2.
B4X:
Private Sub GetSimpleExoPlayerView As SimpleExoPlayerView
Dim x As XmlLayoutBuilder
x.LoadXmlLayout(Root, "layout1") 'Change to Activity if not B4XPages
For Each v As B4XView In Root.GetAllViewsRecursive
If GetType(v) = "androidx.media3.ui.PlayerView" Then
v.Parent.RemoveViewFromParent
v.RemoveViewFromParent
Return v
End If
Next
Return Null
End SubExample of flipped video player:
B4X:
Sub Class_Globals
Private Root As B4XView
Private xui As XUI
Private Player As SimpleExoPlayer
Private PlayerView As SimpleExoPlayerView
Private Panel1 As B4XView
End Sub
Public Sub Initialize
' B4XPages.GetManager.LogEvents = True
End Sub
Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
Root = Root1
Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
Player.Initialize("player")
PlayerView = GetSimpleExoPlayerView
PlayerView.Player = Player
Panel1.AddView(PlayerView, 0, 0, Panel1.Width, Panel1.Height)
Dim TextureView As JavaObject = PlayerView.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("getVideoSurfaceView", Null)
TextureView.RunMethod("setScaleX", Array((-1).As(Float)))
Player.Prepare(Player.CreateUriSource("https://bestvpn.org/html5demos/assets/dizzy.mp4"))
End Sub
