So I was going through media style notification exampleshttps://www.binpress.com/tutorial/using-android-media-style-notifications-with-media-session-controls/165, all of them involve using Media Player, my question is can I use the same with Exoplayer.
I want to do the same with my Exoplayer app. Any ideas?
Here is what I am doing right now
public class ExoPlayerService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = ExoPlayerService.class.getSimpleName();
private final IBinder mIBinder = new LocalBinder();
private Handler mHandler = new Handler();
private SimpleExoPlayer exoPlayer = null;
//MyPlayerListener playerListener;
PlayerListener playerListener;
private boolean isPlayerInstantiated = false;
public ExoPlayerService() {
super();
}
public void setListener(PlayerListener listener) {
this.playerListener = listener;
if(!isPlayerInstantiated){
isPlayerInstantiated = true;
listener.onPlayerInstatiated(exoPlayer);
}
}
public interface PlayerListener{
void releasePlayer(SimpleExoPlayer exoPlayer);
void onPlayerInstatiated(SimpleExoPlayer exoPlayer);
}
public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
public ExoPlayerService getInstance() {
// Return this instance of LocalService so clients can call public methods
return ExoPlayerService.this;
}
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.STARTFOREGROUND_ACTION)) {
createNotification();
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.PREV_ACTION)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Clicked Previous", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i(TAG, "Clicked Previous");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.PLAY_ACTION)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Clicked Play", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i(TAG, "Clicked Play");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.NEXT_ACTION)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Clicked Next", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i(TAG, "Clicked Next");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(
Constants.ACTION.STOPFOREGROUND_ACTION)) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received Stop Foreground Intent");
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Stoped", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

stopSelf();
}
return START_STICKY;
}

The reason I want to do it MediaStyle way because I want to customize the background color and feel it also has a much simpler implementation style.
MediaStylenotification wouldn't work? What have you tried so far? – ianhanniballakePlaybackState's position and last updated time and theMediaMetadata's duration if you're trying to build your UI. – ianhanniballake
