Furthermore, the problem described below also occurs when using a
VideoView instead of a surface + mediaplayer. Below is the code for
this example.
(I am also wondering, why does VideoView not provide a
setOnSeekCompletionListener like the MediaPlayer? I assume that seekTo
is asynchronous here as well, not?)
public class VideoTest extends Activity {
VideoView vidView;
/**
* Called when the activity is first created.
*/
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
vidView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.vidView);
vidView.setVideoPath("/sdcard/myapp/main/videos/main.mp4");
vidView.seekTo(16000);
vidView.start();
}
}
