Package com.codename1.media

package com.codename1.media

Video and Audio playback support are handled within this package using the com.codename1.media.Media & com.codename1.media.MediaManager APIs. Said API's allow for video playback both within a native full screen player and embedded within an application screen.

Simplified video playback API is also available via the com.codename1.components.MediaPlayer class. Capture/recording is handled separately for the most part thru the com.codename1.capture.Capture API. However, there is some basic low level recording functionality within com.codename1.media.MediaManager as well.

The code below demonstrates capturing and playing back audio files using this API:

Form hi = new Form("Capture", BoxLayout.y());
hi.setToolbar(new Toolbar());
Style s = UIManager.getInstance().getComponentStyle("Title");
FontImage icon = FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_MIC, s);

FileSystemStorage fs = FileSystemStorage.getInstance();
String recordingsDir = fs.getAppHomePath() + "recordings/";
fs.mkdir(recordingsDir);
try {
    for(String file : fs.listFiles(recordingsDir)) {
        MultiButton mb = new MultiButton(file.substring(file.lastIndexOf("/") + 1));
        mb.addActionListener((e) -> {
            try {
                Media m = MediaManager.createMedia(recordingsDir + file, false);
                m.play();
            } catch(IOException err) {
                Log.e(err);
            }
        });
        hi.add(mb);
    }

    hi.getToolbar().addCommandToRightBar("", icon, (ev) -> {
        try {
            String file = Capture.captureAudio();
            if(file != null) {
                SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd-kk-mm");
                String fileName =sd.format(new Date());
                String filePath = recordingsDir + fileName;
                Util.copy(fs.openInputStream(file), fs.openOutputStream(filePath));
                MultiButton mb = new MultiButton(fileName);
                mb.addActionListener((e) -> {
                    try {
                        Media m = MediaManager.createMedia(filePath, false);
                        m.play();
                    } catch(IOException err) {
                        Log.e(err);
                    }
                });
                hi.add(mb);
                hi.revalidate();
            }
        } catch(IOException err) {
            Log.e(err);
        }
    });
} catch(IOException err) {
    Log.e(err);
}
hi.show();

The sample code below demonstrates simple video playback.

final Form hi = new Form("MediaPlayer", new BorderLayout());
hi.setToolbar(new Toolbar());
Style s = UIManager.getInstance().getComponentStyle("Title");
FontImage icon = FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_VIDEO_LIBRARY, s);
hi.getToolbar().addCommandToRightBar(new Command("", icon) {
@Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
        Display.getInstance().openGallery((e) -> {
            if(e != null && e.getSource() != null) {
                String file = (String)e.getSource();
                try {
                    Media video = MediaManager.createMedia(file, true);
                    hi.removeAll();
                    hi.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, new MediaPlayer(video));
                    hi.revalidate();
                } catch(IOException err) {
                    Log.e(err);
                }
            }
        }, Display.GALLERY_VIDEO);
    }
});
hi.show();
