Listener (or handler) for video finish

Question

I have implement the following code in order to test playing a video from a remote web server through it´s URL.

videoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.         


        

Answer 1

        vidView=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vidView);
    vidView.setMediaController(null);
    vidView.setVideoPath( "/mnt/external_sd/somerandommovie.3gp" );
    vidView.start();

    vidView.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {

        @Override
        public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
                        vidView.start();
        }
    });

I found that the listener was firing, the issue was mp.start() didn't seem to do anything, so calling start again on the original object seems to be working fine.

Answer 2

here is my working chunk of code:

mp.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() 
        {           
            public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) 
            {
                // Do whatever u need to do here

            }           
        });   

Answer 3

Seems you are looking for

setOnCompletionListener(MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener l)

More in depth explanation can be found here

EDIT

This shows a solution where playback is called after completion using VideoView, MediaController and setOnCompletionListener().

Answer 4

in your onCompletion listener, try using videoView.start(); instead of mp.start();

Answer 5

Make sure you are using the player on the main thread, it seems the callback only works on the main thread.
