Change style of android MediaController

Question

Is there a way to customize the MediaController? I need to change the style of buttons, SeekBar etc.

Answer 1

What you can do is recurse the view hierarchy of your MediaController and set the SeekBar's drawable programmatically:

private void styleMediaController(View view) {
    if (view instanceof MediaController) {
        MediaController v = (MediaController) view;
        for(int i = 0; i < v.getChildCount(); i++) {
            styleMediaController(v.getChildAt(i));
        }
    } else
        if (view instanceof LinearLayout) {
            LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) view;
            for(int i = 0; i < ll.getChildCount(); i++) {
                styleMediaController(ll.getChildAt(i));
            }
        } else if (view instanceof SeekBar) {
            ((SeekBar) view).setProgressDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.progressbar)); 
            ((SeekBar) view).setThumb(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.progresshandle));
        }
}

Then, just call

styleMediaController(myMC);
