Trigger VideoView onCompletion event on error

I'm creating a list of videos which are played within a VideoView.

I want to catch the "Sorry, this video can't be played" error and just move on to the next video. The video-switching is handled within a onCompletionListener.

I already got the code for an onErrorListener from here but I just can't find how to trigger the "video is complete" event.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • You can do the same in the onErrorListener as you do in the onCompletionListener in onCompletion you set the video to the next one (somehow, i dont konw your implementation) then in on error use the same code (refactored into another function most likely). EG:

    onError(....)
    if(error = watever error you need)
    functionNextVideo()

    note the above is pseudo code.

    But other than that onCompletionListener will not be triggered unless the video completes as it is supposed to.
