Playing videos using mediastore with custom player

Not that anyone will actually reply but I'm about to go insane to be honest, ALL i want to do is play a video from a list view using media store and a custom video player (Not stock player!) but so far all my attempts have failed.
So i need some professional help!
My MediaStore code:
Code:
public class VideoManager {
public VideoManager() {
}
private ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> videoList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
public ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> getPlayList(Context c) {
/*use content provider to get beginning of database query that queries for all audio by display name, path
and mimtype which i dont use but got it incase you want to scan for mp3 files only you can compare with RFC mimetype for mp3's
*/
final Cursor mCursor = c.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
new String[] { MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA}, null, null,
"UPPER(" + MediaStore.Video.Media.TITLE + ") ASC");
String videoTitle = "";
String videoPath = "";
/* run through all the columns we got back and save the data we need into the arraylist for our listview*/
if (mCursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
videoTitle = mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME));
videoPath = mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA));
HashMap<String, String> video = new HashMap<String, String>();
video.put("videoTitle", videoTitle);
video.put("videoPath", videoPath);
videoList.add(video);
} while (mCursor.moveToNext());
}
mCursor.close(); //cursor has been consumed so close it
return videoList;
}
public ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> getPlayList() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
}
The list code along with an OnItemClick method and Intent:
Code:
public class VideoActivity extends ListActivity {
// Songs list
public ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> videoList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
ListView videolist;
Cursor mCursor;
int videoTitle;
int count;
int videoPath;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.videos);
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> videoListData = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
VideoManager plm = new VideoManager();
// get all songs from sdcard
this.videoList = plm.getPlayList(this);
// looping through playlist
for (int i = 0; i < videoList.size(); i++) {
// creating new HashMap
HashMap<String, String> video = videoList.get(i);
// adding HashList to ArrayList
videoListData.add(video);
}
// Adding menuItems to ListView
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, videoListData,
R.layout.video_item, new String[] { "videoTitle" }, new int[] {
R.id.videoTitle });
setListAdapter(adapter);
// selecting single ListView item
ListView lv = getListView();
// listening to single listitem click
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// getting listitem index
int videoIndex = position;
// Starting new intent
Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
VideoPlayerActivity.class);
Log.d("TAG","onItemClick");
// Sending songIndex to PlayerActivity
in.putExtra("videoPath", videoIndex);
startActivity(in);
// Closing PlayListView
finish();
}
});
}
}
And lastly, the players code:
Code:
public class VideoPlayerActivity extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback, MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener, VideoControllerView.MediaPlayerControl {
SurfaceView videoSurface;
MediaPlayer player;
VideoControllerView controller;
private VideoManager videoManager;
private int currentvideoIndex = 0;
private ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> videoList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_video_player);
videoSurface = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.videoSurface);
SurfaceHolder videoHolder = videoSurface.getHolder();
videoHolder.addCallback(this);
player = new MediaPlayer();
videoManager = new VideoManager();
controller = new VideoControllerView(this);
videoList = videoManager.getPlayList(this);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode,
int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode == 0){
currentvideoIndex = data.getExtras().getInt("videoPath");
// play selected song
playVideo(currentvideoIndex);
}
}
public void playVideo(int videoIndex){
try {
player.setDataSource(videoList.get(videoIndex).get("videoPath"));
player.setOnPreparedListener(this);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SecurityException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {

}
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
controller.show();
return false;
}
// Implement SurfaceHolder.Callback
@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
}
@Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
player.setDisplay(holder);
player.prepareAsync();
}
@Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
// End SurfaceHolder.Callback
// Implement MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener
@Override

player.start();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block

Right now PLEASE HELP ME!! :crying:

Why do you look up the videoPath in onActivityResult? Why do you need that Method? You'd add playVideo(getIntent().getBundle().getIntExtra("videopath")); to the end of your onCreate.

Hi, thanks for the reply but unfortunately it didn't work.
I assume the code i entered is correct..
Code:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_video_player);
playVideo(getIntent().getExtras().getInt("videoPath"));
videoSurface = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.videoSurface);
SurfaceHolder videoHolder = videoSurface.getHolder();
videoHolder.addCallback(this);
player = new MediaPlayer();
videoManager = new VideoManager();
controller = new VideoControllerView(this);
videoList = videoManager.getPlayList();
}
public void playVideo(int videoIndex){
try {
player.setDataSource(videoList.get(videoIndex).get("videoPath"));
player.setOnPreparedListener(this);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

multiple buttons to send predefined SMS

Hi guys i am new to programming. I am trying to have multiple button to send different predefined SMS to predefined number. I am not sure how to have multiple setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() as the 2nd setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() gave me error.
public class SendSMSActivity extends Activity {
Button buttonSend;
Button buttonSend2;
@override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
buttonSend = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonSend);
buttonSend2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonSend2);
buttonSend.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
buttonSend2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.buttonSend:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "abc");
sendIntent.putExtra("address", "9909990");
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
startActivity(sendIntent);
break;
case R.id.buttonSend2:
Intent sendIntent1 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent1.putExtra("sms_body", "def");
sendIntent1.putExtra("address", "012345678");
sendIntent1.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
startActivity(sendIntent1);
break;
}
}
});
});
}
}

@stewypost
You cant write statements anywhere inside an anonymous inner class anyways ignoring the poor syntax
To do this first declare your
OnClickListner listner = (View v) ->
{
// your code
};
then call
button1.setOnClickListener(listner);
button2.setOnClickListener(listner);

Passing data between two fragments

Hello guys,
I have a list of fragments created and I want to delete these fragment by long pressing on them. However, before doing so I want dialog fragment to pop up and offer the user the choice to delete or not. I have created the two fragments but I can't get the data across each other. I can't give functionality to the 'OK' button. Here is my code:
Code:
public class CourseListFragment extends Fragment implements
OnItemClickListener, OnItemLongClickListener {
public static final String ARG_ITEM_ID = "course_list";
public static final String YES_NO = "modify";
Activity activity;

container, false);
findViewsById(view);
task = new GetEmpTask(activity);
task.execute((Void) null);
courseListView.setOnItemClickListener(this);
courseListView.setOnItemLongClickListener(this);
return view;
}
private void findViewsById(View view) {
courseListView = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_course);
}
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> list, View view, int position,
long id) {
Course course = (Course) list.getItemAtPosition(position);
if (course != null) {
Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
arguments.putParcelable("selectedCourse", course);
CustomCourseDialogFragment customEmpDialogFragment = new CustomCourseDialogFragment();
customEmpDialogFragment.setArguments(arguments);
customEmpDialogFragment.show(getFragmentManager(),
CustomCourseDialogFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID);
}
}
@Override
public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// Show dialogFragment
FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
CheckDialogFragment dialog = new CheckDialogFragment();
dialog.show(fm, YES_NO);
Course employee = (Course) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
// Use AsyncTask to delete from database
courseDAO.deleteEmployee(employee);
courseListAdapter.remove(employee);
return true;
}
public class GetEmpTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, ArrayList<Course>> {
private final WeakReference<Activity> activityWeakRef;

courses = empList;
if (empList != null) {

courseListView.setAdapter(courseListAdapter);
} else {
Toast.makeText(activity, "No Course Records",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
}
}
/*

* called from CustomEmpDialogFragment when an employee record is updated.
* This is used for communicating between fragments.
*/
public void updateView() {
task = new GetEmpTask(activity);
task.execute((Void) null);
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
getActivity().setTitle("Course Schedule");
getActivity().getActionBar().setTitle("Course Schedule");
super.onResume();
}
}
//Dialog Fragment
Code:
public class CheckDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
CourseListAdapter courseListAdapter;
CourseDAO courseDAO;
@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity())
.setTitle("Do you want to delete?")
.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override

int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}

.setNegativeButton(android.R.string.cancel,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override

I have problems trying to get the data from onItemLongClick() of CourseListFragment to CourseListFragment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] need to get num of satelites and HDOP

'm trying to write app which will get the number of satellites and the HDOP.
my main activity implements GpsStatus.Listener and GpsStatus.NmeaListener.
however, even though there is GPS activity in my device , the methods
onGpsStatusChanged onNmeaReceived
are never getting called.
why?
here is my code:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements
GpsStatus.Listener,GpsStatus.NmeaListener {

[Volley] Main UI extremely slow

In my app i just have a splash screen and a main activity. In the main thread i have three EditText boxes and a spinner with a string array. On clicking the Button, input from three EditText and spinner selection is posted to my mysql database. For the button click network operation, i used Volley since its east and i dont have to use AsyncTask which am not familiar with.
Apart from this, on entering the main UI .. app first check for network connectivity using ConnectivityManager class. After onClick app checks for empty/invalid imputs using TextUtils.
Now the problem is that when i run my app, its very slow and taking upto 65mb of RAM. IS something wrong with my code. Should i run something else as AsynTask ? Can someone check my code and refine it .. thank you

Well it's hard to say what exactly is wrong with it. Maybe text is to long. You can try to measure each operation performance with System.nanoseconds(easiest) and localize the problem first. It would be easier to say what to do with it.

Yes you should try to figure out what part is causing the problem. Try to cut the code down to essentials and measure the execution time. Maybe you will be able to tell what part exactly is not working as wanted.
