As shown in the image and video, I am facing an issue while using styled player view.
I have set controllerShowTimeoutMs to 2 seconds, but I am getting results as shown in the below image...
Or as In this video... YouTube link
When the controller don't get any input for 2 seconds, the player's default timebar's visibility is changed.
Then again after 2 seconds all the controls visibility is changed.
I want to make all the controls disappear simultaneously in two seconds.
I tried to check many things but couldn't find the cause of the issue...
Below is the code for Exoplayer in XML
<com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.StyledPlayerView
android:id="@+id/home_exoplayer_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:controller_layout_id="@layout/exo_control_layout_main"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="16:9"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:shutter_background_color="?colorTextBackgroundBlack"
app:use_controller="true"
app:show_buffering="always"
app:player_layout_id="@layout/exo_player_layout_main"
/>
And in my fragment
//Autohide controller in below Mili seconds unless the user taps
exoPlayerView.controllerShowTimeoutMs = 2000
//Don't show controller when playback starts
exoPlayerView.controllerAutoShow = false
The simple workaround is to disable the animation.Like this
<com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.StyledPlayerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:animation_enabled="false" />
