ExoPlayer PlayerView OnClickListener not working

Question

In my app, I want to handle user click on PlayerView however OnClickListener not being called and no exception is thrown. I added app:use_controller="false" to XML PlayerView.

I tried to set OnTouchListener but I need MotionEvent.ACTION_UP to be called which is also not happening(because I don't want to handle the case when the user is scrolling, I need to handle the case when the user taps on PlayerView).

  class FeedHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        private TextView displayName, jobTitle, action, date, likedBy;
        private ImageIndicator profile_pic;
        private ImageView videoOptions, likeImage, shareImage;
        private PlayerView playerView;
        private WebView webView;

        @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
        FeedHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            profile_pic = itemView.findViewById(R.id.profile_pic);
            likedBy = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_like_by);
            date = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_date);
            likeImage = itemView.findViewById(R.id.img_like);
            shareImage = itemView.findViewById(R.id.img_share);
            displayName = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_display_name);
            jobTitle = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_job_title);
            action = itemView.findViewById(R.id.btn_action);
            videoOptions = itemView.findViewById(R.id.video_options);
            playerView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.exo_player);
            webView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.web_view);
            webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
            webView.setWebViewClient(new AnimationWebViewClient());
            webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(true);
            webView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE, null);
        }
    }


@Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull FeedHolder holder, int position) {
      holder.playerView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    ...
                }
            });

}

What version of exp player are you using? – Quantum_VC Sep 22 '18 at 07:03 — Quantum_VC, Sep 22 '18 at 07:03
Try adding `playerView.requestFocus()` – Quantum_VC Sep 22 '18 at 07:06 — Quantum_VC, Sep 22 '18 at 07:06

You can use:

video.setControllerAutoShow(false);
video.setUseController(false);
video.getVideoSurfaceView().setOnClickListener(view -> {
          Log.e("GET", "clicked!");
          if(player.getPlayWhenReady()){
               player.setPlayWhenReady(false);
          }else{
               player.setPlayWhenReady(true);
          }
});

You may want to do this to handle any scenario of interaction with the player, suppose you want to add features to skip or come back 10 seconds like youtube.

This is my fragment

@SuppressLint("ClickableViewAccessibility")
    private void setOnGestureListeners() {
        mPlayerView.setOnTouchListener(new OnSwipeTouchListener(requireActivity()){
            @Override
            public void onSwipeRight() {
                super.onSwipeRight();
                // Swipe to the right
            }

            @Override
            public void onSwipeLeft() {
                super.onSwipeLeft();
                // Swipe to the left
            }

            @Override
            public void onClick() {
                super.onClick();
                // User tapped once (This is what you want)
            }

            @Override
            public void onDoubleClick() {
                super.onDoubleClick();
                // User tapped twice
            }
        });
    }

OnSwipeTouchListener.java

public class OnSwipeTouchListener implements View.OnTouchListener {

    private static final String TAG = "OnSwipeTouchListener";

    private final GestureDetectorCompat mDetector;

    public OnSwipeTouchListener(Context context) {
        mDetector = new GestureDetectorCompat(context, new GestureListener());
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        return mDetector.onTouchEvent(event);

    }

    public void onSwipeRight() {
        Log.i(TAG, "onSwipeRight: Swiped to the RIGHT");
    }

    public void onSwipeLeft() {
        Log.i(TAG, "onSwipeLeft: Swiped to the LEFT");
    }

    public void onSwipeTop() {
        Log.i(TAG, "onSwipeTop: Swiped to the TOP");
    }

    public void onSwipeBottom() {
        Log.i(TAG, "onSwipeBottom: Swiped to the BOTTOM");
    }

    public void onClick() {
        Log.i(TAG, "onClick: Clicking in the screen");
    }

    public void onDoubleClick() {
        Log.i(TAG, "onClick: Clicking TWO TIMES in the screen");
    }

    public void onLongClick() {
        Log.i(TAG, "onLongClick: LONG click in the screen");
    }

    private final class GestureListener extends GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener {

        private static final int SWIPE_THRESHOLD = 100;
        private static final int SWIPE_VELOCITY = 100;

        @Override
        public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) {
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {
            onClick();
            return super.onSingleTapUp(e);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onDoubleTap(MotionEvent e) {
            onDoubleClick();
            return super.onDoubleTap(e);
        }

        @Override
        public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {
            onLongClick();
            super.onLongPress(e);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) {
            boolean result = false;
            try {
                float diffY = e2.getY() - e1.getY();
                float diffX = e2.getX() - e1.getX();
                if (Math.abs(diffX) > Math.abs(diffY)) {
                    if (Math.abs(diffX) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD && Math.abs(velocityX) > SWIPE_VELOCITY) {
                        if (diffX > 0) {
                            onSwipeRight();
                        } else {
                            onSwipeLeft();
                        }
                        result = true;
                    }
                } else if (Math.abs(diffY) > SWIPE_THRESHOLD && Math.abs(velocityY) > SWIPE_VELOCITY) {
                    if (diffY > 0) {
                        onSwipeBottom();
                    } else {
                        onSwipeTop();
                    }
                    result = true;
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return result;
        }
    }
}

These are some Exoplayer projects, in case you want.

I guess this solution will work.

playerView.hideController();
playerView.setControllerVisibilityListener(new PlayerControlView.VisibilityListener() {
    @Override
    public void onVisibilityChange(int visibility) {
        if (visibility == View.VISIBLE) {
            playerView.hideController();
        }
    }
});
