How to pause ExoPlayer 2 playback and resume (PlayerControl was removed)
You can use void setPlayWhenReady(boolean playWhenReady).
If Exo is ready, passing false will pause the player. Passing true will resume it. You can check the player's state using getPlaybackState().
This is my way. Create two methods and call them when needed.
private void pausePlayer(){ player.setPlayWhenReady(false); player.getPlaybackState();}private void startPlayer(){ player.setPlayWhenReady(true); player.getPlaybackState();}call them here
@Overrideprotected void onPause() { super.onPause(); pausePlayer();}@Overrideprotected void onResume() { super.onResume(); startPlayer();}
playplayer.setPlayWhenReady(true);
pause
player.setPlayWhenReady(false);
And you can check play state like this:
private boolean isPlaying() {return player != null && player.getPlaybackState() != Player.STATE_ENDED && player.getPlaybackState() != Player.STATE_IDLE && player.getPlayWhenReady();}These codes are from PlayerControlView.
