Android Question detect buffer event while exoplayer is buffering

[analizer3816]

I want to show loading icon while exoplayer is buffering data from streaming media, but exoplayer has 3 events(ready,error,complete) only.how I detect buffer event?

thanks

You can use a timer and check the current playback state:

Dim jo As JavaObject = ExoPlayer1
Dim state As Int = jo.RunMethod("getPlaybackState", Null)

The possible values are:
1 = IDLE
2 = BUFFERING
3 = READY
4 = ENDED

thanks, now I use exoplayer in service and create eventlistener.
it works well in debug mode, but log show "Unexpected event (missing RaiseSynchronousEvents): check_event"

I try add #RaisesSynchronousEvents: check_event
and test app in release mode, not work!

player1 must run in service because I want to play in background
please suggest me.

Sub create_event
    Dim jo As JavaObject = player1
    jo = jo.GetField("player")
    Dim e As Object = jo.CreateEvent("com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlayer.EventListener", "check", False)
    jo.RunMethod("addListener", Array As Object(e))
End Sub

Sub check_event (MethodName As String, Args() As Object) As Object
    Log(MethodName)
    If(MethodName = "onPlayerStateChanged") Then Player_onPlayerStateChanged(Args(0), Args(1))
    If(MethodName = "onLoadingChanged") Then Player_onLoadingChanged(Args(0))
    If(MethodName = "onTimelineChanged") Then Player_onTimelineChanged(Args(0), Args(1))
    If(MethodName = "onPositionDiscontinuity") Then Player_onPositionDiscontinuity
    Return True
End Sub

it works well in debug mode, but log show "Unexpected event (missing RaiseSynchronousEvents): check_event"

You can ignore it. It is only relevant in debug mode and it is not critical.

ok, but
in release mode, no event was detected via check_event
in debug mode, all event was detected
I don't understand about this

could you check my code in 1.zip ?

Try it with CreateEventFromUI.

I am trying to check if exoplayer is buffering with this code in the timer tick event but i kept getting error

Dim jo As JavaObject = ExoPlayer1
Dim state As Int = jo.RunMethod("getPlaybackState", Null)
