Android MediaController custom graphics

Question

Is there a way to "easily" change the graphics of the MediaController to show a "skip ahead 5sec" or "rev 5 sec" (which I have) instead of the ff and rew buttons?

Answer 1

The best will be to copy source code of MediaController and change layout according to Your needs. Not easy but the best way :)

You can also try get

ImageButton mRewButton;

by reflection and try to change it but i will not recommend that. Here is how this can be done:

try {
    Field field = mediaController.getClass().getDeclaredField("mRewButton");
    field.setAccessible(true);
    Object value = field.get(mediaController);
    if (value instanceof ImageButton) {
        // do some changes here
        ((ImageButton) value).setImageResource(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
    }
} catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
    //handle errors gently
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
    //handle errors gently
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Just make sure that before that Your controller is initialized. Result looks like this:
