I am receiving 4 rtsp video links simultaneously in a single screen using videoview in the audio library... I want to mute individual videos when clicking on a button... But videoview doesnot have an option to mute audio...i want to play audio of single stream at a time and mute others... How can i do that?

You can use Phone.SetMute to mute any of the volume channels.

i think u dont understand what i mean

i dont want to set the volume of complete phone music down...i need to change the volume of one videoview outof 4

Dim v1,v2,v3,v4,v5,vf1 As VideoView
here i need something like "v1.muteaudio"
because all v1,v2,v3,v4 are playing video in single screen

Try this:
B4X: 
'after you call VideoView1.Play
Dim r1, r2 As Reflector
r1.Target = VideoView1
r1.Target = r1.GetField("mMediaPlayer")
Dim mp As MediaPlayer
r2.Target = mp
r2.SetField("mp", r1.Target, "android.media.MediaPlayer")

mp.SetVolume(0,0)
Click to expand...



B4X: 
Sub muteaudio_v1
    Dim r1, r2 As Reflector
    r1.Target = v1
    r1.Target = r1.GetField("mMediaPlayer")
    Dim mp As MediaPlayer
    r2.Target = mp
    r2.SetField("mp", r1.Target, "android.media.MediaPlayer")

    mp.SetVolume(0,0)
End Sub

this shows error on setfield line after running the program

This code should work:
B4X: 
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Dim vv As VideoView
   vv.Initialize("vv")
   Activity.AddView(vv, 0, 0, 100%X, 100%y)
   vv.LoadVideo(File.DirRootExternal, "DCIM/Camera/1.mp4")
   vv.Play
   CallSubDelayed2(Me, "MuteVideo", vv)
End Sub

Sub muteVideo (vv As VideoView)
   Dim r1, r2 As Reflector
  r1.Target = vv
  r1.Target = r1.GetField("mMediaPlayer")
   If r1.Target = Null Then
     CallSubDelayed2(Me, "MuteVideo", vv)
     Return
   End If
  Dim mp As MediaPlayer
  r2.Target = mp
  r2.SetField2("mp", r1.Target)
  mp.SetVolume(0,0)
End Sub

It uses reflection to get a reference to the internal MediaPlayer of VideoView. The internal MediaPlayer is not immediately ready so CallSubDelayed is used to wait for it.

Erel one more help...
I have to full screen the video when i touch the video, so i created 4 panels for 4 videoviews ,when i play i can see only one panel cant see 3 other videos...if there is a panel beneath videoview i can simply write code inside "panel_click"..so thats my first problem(I wanna to get some thing linke v4.click)...:rolleyes:
===================
one other thing is that

B4X: 
Sub button5_click

    v1.SetLayout(51%x, 53%y,50%x,15%y)
    v2.SetLayout(0%x, 68%y,50%x,15%y)
    v3.SetLayout(51%x, 68%y,50%x,15%y)
  
    Activity.Invalidate
  
    CallSubDelayed2(Me, "muteVolume", v1)
    CallSubDelayed2(Me, "muteVolume", v2)
    CallSubDelayed2(Me, "muteVolume", v3)
  
    v4.pause
    v4.RemoveView
    Activity.AddView(v4, 0%x, 0%y, 100%x,100%y)
    v4.SetLayout(0%x,0%x,100%x,100%y)
    Activity.Invalidate
    v4.play
    CallSubDelayed2(Me, "fullVolume", v4)

End Sub

in above code am trying to make v4 to fullscreen when i press a button...here v1,v2,v3 videoviews setlayout function is making the video area into a smaller space and its working immediately....but if i simply gave "v4.SetLayout(0%x,0%x,100%x,100%y)" this does not works....But it works if i remove v4 view and connect once again...but v1,v2,v3 videoviews does not need to remove to make it smaller....... So the problem is "setlayout" can immediately make video to a smaller space ..but making it to a larger space is not working without reconnecting agin

above code is working good but removing view and adding it again make a lot of time to connect to video agin because am streaming a rtsp link..:(

Sorry for long post,I hope you understand what i need:)

Erel your way for controlling audio is working good but only after removing layout and reconnecting again..its so bad that i cant control video whenever i want without reconnecting to my http stream....please find a solution..below code is working but by reconnecting but calling "CallSubDelayed2(Me, "Volume1", v1)" simply will not change anything

B4X: 
Sub SeekBar1_ValueChanged (Value As Int, UserChanged As Boolean)
    vol1=Value
'    Msgbox(vol1,False)


    v1.stop
    v1.RemoveView
    Activity.AddView(v1, 0%x, 0%y, 100%x,100%y)
    v1.LoadVideo("http", a)
    v1.SetLayout(2%x, 15%y, 45%x,55%y)
    Activity.Invalidate
    CallSubDelayed2(Me, "Volume1", v1)
    v1.Play

   
End Sub
