Android play Ooyala Video with Hook player


How to play Ooyala video in hook player from a different application?

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  @Override  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

  Intent launchHook = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse
  (<"ooyala://pcode/embed code/null/time_in_seconds">));
    startActivity(launchHook);
  }
}      

Solution

  • The Ooyala Documentation is incorrect, to create an intent to open an ooyala video in "Hook Mobile Player App" must be (without "<" and ">" characters):

    public class MainActivity extends Activity {
      @Override  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
      Intent launchHook = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("ooyala://pcode/embed code/null/time_in_seconds"));
        startActivity(launchHook);
      }
    }   
    

    where:

    • pcode: video player_id defined in Ooyala Backlot.
    • embed code: video content_id defined in Ooyala Backlot.
    • null: valid token or the string "null", not required.
    • time_in_seconds: time in seconds to specify the point in the video to start the app, not required.
    Intent launchHook = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("ooyala://c9565052281a402ebf432dca9b59b2ca/45cjJ0ZDrfOUerwSu6BbChfItUCDCxZE"));
    // Intent launchHook = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("ooyala://c9565052281a402ebf432dca9b59b2ca/45cjJ0ZDrfOUerwSu6BbChfItUCDCxZE/null/10"));
    startActivity(launchHook);
