Android Question Mute movie on playing on VideoViewExt

[microbox]

How can I mute movie playing on VideoViewExt but I am able to play/hear my other media file on MediaPlayer?

Thanks in advance,
microbox

Try this:

Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = videoview1
Dim mpo As JavaObject = r.GetField("mMediaPlayer")
mpo.RunMethod("setVolume", Array(0, 0)) 'or 1, 1 for full volume

Try this:

Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = videoview1
Dim mpo As JavaObject = r.GetField("mMediaPlayer")
mpo.RunMethod("setVolume", Array(0, 0)) 'or 1, 1 for full volume

Hi Erel, I can not compile due to this line error.

BTW in my Sub Globals I declared Dim vv As VideoViewExt

 

[Erel]

Change Array to Array As Object.

Change Array to Array As Object.

I'm sorry I got to reply late on this thread, I was busy with my work. I'm still having trouble with the following code to mute a video. Below is what I'm using to test.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean) 
    Try   
    vv.Initialize("vv")
    Catch
    Msgbox("Error","")
    End Try
    Videopnl.Initialize("")
    Videopnl.AddView(vv, 0dip, 0dip, Videopnl.Width , Videopnl.Height)
    vv.LoadVideo(File.DirRootExternal, "DCIM/Camera/Myvideo.mp4") 'for streaming local files
    vv.MediaControllerEnabled=True
    vv.Play
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = vv
    Dim mpo As JavaObject = r.GetField("mMediaPlayer")       
    mpo.RunMethod("setVolume", Array As Object(0, 0)) 'or 1, 1 for full volume
End Sub

But it's giving me an error "An error has occurred in sub:java.lang.NullPointException"

Thank you for helping out..

I got it working with the following code..

Sub Process_Globals   
    Dim sd As MediaPlayer
End Sub

Sub Globals
   
    Private Videopnl As Panel 
    Private btnChime As Button
    Dim mypath As String
   
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
   sd.Initialize ()  
   Dim vv As VideoViewExt    
    vv.Initialize("vv")      
   
   Videopnl.AddView(vv, 0dip, 0dip, Videopnl.Width , Videopnl.Height)
 
   vv.LoadVideo(File.DirRootExternal, "DCIM/Camera/Myvideo.mp4")
   vv.MediaControllerEnabled = True
   vv.Play
   CallSubDelayed2(Me, "MuteVideo", vv)
  
End Sub
Sub MuteVideo (vv As VideoViewExt)
   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

End Sub
Sub btnChime_Click
    mypath = "DCIM/Camera"  
    sd.Load(mypath,"tada.wav")     
    playque
End Sub
   Sub playque
   sd.SetVolume(1,1)
   sd.play
End Sub

but I'm having trouble due to error

What do you think I'm missing?

 

[microbox]

I figured it out what I did wrong...I have the file path corrected. Sorry for all.

[microbox]

I tried almost everything.. but still can not find a way to play and mute the second movie file after the first.

 

[Erel]

Run the app in debug mode and see which line causes this error.

 

[microbox]

Finally I got it to work...Thank you so much Erel!

More power and kind regards
