Android Question MediaPlayer completed event, how to handle?

[igorkaplan45]

Hi all,

Could someone please give me an example, how to handle the Completed event of MediaPlayer object? I have read the documentation, looked at tutorials. As I understood, you initialize the MediaPlayer object with Init2 and pass the event handler name. So I did the following:

Sub Process_Globals
dim MediaPlayer1 as MediaPlayer
...
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
MediaPlayer1.Initialize2("MPStopped")
...
end Sub

Then, since I was not completely sure, what the name of event handler function should be, I have created 2 subs:

Sub MediaPlayer1_MPStopped
log("The playback has stopped")
end Sub

Sub MPStopped
log("MPStopped: the playback has stopped")
end Sub

Non of those methods are ever executed.
I started the playback, MediaPlayer plays fine, then I waited for playback to finish at the end of the song and did not get events to be fired.
I am probably doing something incorrectly, however was not able to find any example how to write event sub.
Would so much appreciate any clerifications.

Many thanks.
Igor.

Use this :

Sub Process_Globals
    Dim MediaPlayer1 As MediaPlayer
End Sub

Sub Globals
    MediaPlayer1.Initialize2("MediaPlayer1")
End Sub

Sub MediaPlayer1_Complete
    Log("The playback has stopped")
End Sub

EventName is the first part of the event routine for the given view, MediaPlayer1 !
The second part is the event type, Complete.
It's the same as for all other views.

Klaus,

Thanks so much! I have tried everything, never would think, thatthe method name passed to initialize2 would the first part of event handler. However now it makes sense.
Many thanks once again!

All initialize-commands which have an "Eventname" as property works the same. Eventname = first part of Event

EditText1.initialize("button")

will result in a event button_Click

Label1.initialize("lbl")

will result in a event lbl_Click

Label1.initialize("myspecialevent")

will result in a event myspecialevent_Click
