(Context, Token) in instantiating MediaController


I am trying to add a mediaController in my VideoView. I am trying to follow the tutorial in this site.

However, I am having an error in my class in this line.

MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);

The error says,

MediaController (Context, Token) in MediaController cannot be applied to (MainActivity)

What is the Token parameter? Its been a while since I have coded in Native Android and I think I missed some necessary details and changes.

EDIT I was looking in a different tutorial, the one in the link, is Made in Android Studio. My Mistake.

My Class

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
public VideoView videoOne;
@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    videoOne = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
    videoOne.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.video1));
    videoOne.start();

    MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
    mediaController.setAnchorView(videoOne);
    videoOne.setMediaController(mediaController);

    videoOne.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener()  {
        @Override
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
            Log.i("Video Duration", "Duration = " + videoOne.getDuration());
        }
    });
    videoOne.setMediaController(mediaController);

}

Solution

  • The error is pretty straightforward. Make sure you are importing the correct MediaController. For your purpose you need this import:

    import android.widget.MediaController;
    

    The above class has the constructor you are looking for. The link:

    http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/MediaController.html#MediaController(android.content.Context)

    You might be using the one below:

     import android.media.session.MediaController;
    

    Hope this helps
