Hi

all other stuff shows like buttons and labels but the exopayer view dosent
it shows an empty space as if it is not there

It might be possible to change the SurfaceView into a TextureView in Exoplayer and then you should have a possibility to save a screen as a bitmap. I have never used Exoplayer and I guess what mentioned would require changes in the wrapper so I guess you are better off waiting for someone else to reply to know if this is even possible.

Otherwise, you have some alternatives:

-A simple VideoView alternative which replaces the original VideoView namely B4ATextureVideoView:

Above options require you to change the Video-player but will let you take screenshots.

Alternatively you can use my ScreenRecorder/ScreenShot library:

Yeah after searching i found that it has to be a texture view
The problem is that im working with a project which is not mine so i cant change the player and even if i want the project is quite big XD that i might brick some stuff
Well i hope someone got a solution
Thank you for your answer will consider using one of them if things didn't worked out

There is an implementation of ExoPlayer based on TextureView: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/exoplayertextureview.68443/
