Android Exoplayer SimpleExoPlayerView Play/Pause events

Question

Is there a way to hook into the Play/Pause click events of the SimpleExoPlayerView controls? I'm trying to hookup chromecast to my play activity and i need to be able to respond to play events to determine if exoplayer should play the content or it should be sent to chromecast.

I thought onPlayerStateChanged might help with this but i can't see a ExoPlayer.STATE_PLAYING state.

Try this solution:

SimpleExoPlayerView simpleExoPlayerView = (SimpleExoPlayerView)findViewById(R.id.simpleExoView);
        simpleExoPlayerView.setControlDispatcher(new PlaybackControlView.ControlDispatcher() {
            @Override
            public boolean dispatchSetPlayWhenReady(ExoPlayer exoPlayer, boolean b) {

            // implement what you need

            return b;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean dispatchSeekTo(ExoPlayer exoPlayer, int i, long l) {
            return false;
        }
    });
