how do I get the status of the player?

I have tried
log(player1.pause)
log(player1)
and a few other futile attempts with no success.

Is this possible?

Well spoke to soon again I tried the following

B4X: 
Sub ExoPlayer_Complete
    log("test")
End Sub
In my program I set player1 = to SimpleExoPlayer so I also tried
B4X: 
Sub player1_Complete
    log("test")
End Sub

on both I never received the "test" log message

Okay lol it only triggers at the end of the video
that does not help really.

I need to know when ever play or pause is pressed.

You can see the events here: https://www.b4x.com/android/help/exoplayer.html#simpleexoplayer
Or in the IDE.

Adding an event listener to monitor the playback state:
B4X: 
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   If FirstTime Then
     player1.Initialize("player")
     Dim sources As List
     sources.Initialize
     sources.Add(player1.CreateDashSource("http://www.youtube.com/api/manifest/dash/id/bf5bb2419360daf1/source/youtube?as=fmp4_audio_clear,fmp4_sd_hd_clear&sparams=ip,ipbits,expire,source,id,as&ip=0.0.0.0&ipbits=0&expire=19000000000&signature=51AF5F39AB0CEC3E5497CD9C900EBFEAECCCB5C7.8506521BFC350652163895D4C26DEE124209AA9E&key=ik0"))
     sources.Add(player1.CreateHLSSource("https://devimages.apple.com.edgekey.net/streaming/examples/bipbop_4x3/bipbop_4x3_variant.m3u8"))
     sources.Add(player1.CreateUriSource("http://html5demos.com/assets/dizzy.mp4"))
     player1.Prepare(player1.CreateListSource(sources))
     Dim jo As JavaObject = player1 
     Dim event As Object = jo.CreateEventFromUI("com.google.android.exoplayer2.Player$EventListener", "statechanged", False)
     jo.GetFieldJO("player").RunMethod("addListener", Array(event))
   End If
   Activity.LoadLayout("1")
   SimpleExoPlayerView1.Player = player1
   player1.Play
End Sub

Sub StateChanged_Event (MethodName As String, Args() As Object) As Object
   If MethodName = "onPlayerStateChanged" Then
     Dim Playing As Boolean = Args(0)
     Log("IsPlaying: " & Playing)
   End If
   Return Null
End Sub

Starting to wonder if I should let this one go. I really hate to keep taking up your time. however I have tried this and got the following error.

you are accessing an item from a list which is out of bounds.
A list with 10 items have the indexes 0 to 9. If you want you access index 10 then it crshes.
This is what happens here... Check your routine and make sure to use for i= 0 to list.size -1

okay, the blue underlined section is where the issue is taking place. I tried making that last parameter Boolean(returns no errors but does not trigger the StateChanged Sub)

I put a Boolean in and still same error. Man this is frustrating. If it wasn't such an important part I might just toss the idea altogether lol. I've been at this piece for days :(

thanks for your continued help though.

Based on the error you should replace
B4X: 
Dim Playing As Boolean = Args(0)
With
B4X: 
Dim Playing As Int = Args(0)

My mistake. The correct code is:
B4X: 
jo.CreateEventFromUI("com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlayer$EventListener", "statechanged", False)

I actually later played with it to understand why it fails with other values and mistakenly posted the wrong version.

I see. well I'm going to give it a try. Thanks :)
