'Control the playback speed of video in android
I am using a VideoView to play a video file kept in res/raw. I couldnt find a way to control the playback speed of the video. Basically i want to reduce and increase the playback while moving a scroll bar. Is there any work around for implementing this?

No, you cannot change the playback rate by simply using VideoView
. VideoView
and MediaPlayer
only provide limited media functions.
You have to use some third party library, e.g., PVPlayer, and implement that yourself.
That's also why good media players on Android are so valuable:)
Solution 2:[2]
you can use this but it works on api 23 and above
mVideo.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
//works only from api 23
PlaybackParams myPlayBackParams = null;
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
myPlayBackParams = new PlaybackParams();
myPlayBackParams.setSpeed(0.8f); //you can set speed here
mp.setPlaybackParams(myPlayBackParams);
}
}
});

I want to say than Mk Kamal's solution have an unexpected side effect: calling setPlaybackParams
in OnPreparedListener
will force VideoView
to repeat the latest played video when the app was returned from the background.
I don't know is it a bug or a feature, but I found a way to avoid such behavior:
private float speed = 0.8f;
private final MediaPlayer.OnInfoListener listener = (mp, what, extra) -> {
if (what == MediaPlayer.MEDIA_INFO_VIDEO_RENDERING_START) {
mp.setPlaybackParams(mp.getPlaybackParams().setSpeed(speed));
return true;
}
return false;
};
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(
mp -> {
mp.setOnInfoListener(listener);
}
);
MEDIA_INFO_VIDEO_RENDERING_START
will be send only if the palyer was already started.
And I want to emphasize that getPlaybackParams
is annotated as @NonNull
, so it's not necessary to create new PlaybackParams
object.

Kotlin variant, API above 23
val playerView = itemView.findViewById<VideoView>(R.id.videoview)
playerView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + context.packageName + "/" + R.raw.123.mp4))
playerView.setOnPreparedListener { mediaPlayer ->
playerView.seekTo(1) // for video preview
mediaPlayer.playbackParams = mediaPlayer.playbackParams.apply {
speed = 0.6f
}
playerView.start()
}
