I'm using a "YouTubePlayerFragment" in my android app. According to our requirements, I need to use "CHROMELESS" player style and use custom controllers. Is it any way to show/hide captions programmatically? Even syncing a str file would be great.
Layout
<com.android.ui.widget.TouchEventLinearLayout
android:id="@+id/youtubeFragmentLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true">
<fragment
android:id="@+id/youtubeFragment"
android:name="com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</com.android.ui.widget.TouchEventLinearLayout>
Player Initialization:
@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubePlayer player, boolean wasRestored) {
youTubePlayer = player;
youTubePlayer.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.CHROMELESS);
youTubePlayer.setFullscreenControlFlags(YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CONTROL_SYSTEM_UI);
setPlayPause(isPlaying);
initialProgressHandler();
resumePoint = calculateResumePoint();
if (!wasRestored) {
if (isPlaying)
youTubePlayer.loadVideo(mItem.getVideoId(), resumePoint);
else
youTubePlayer.cueVideo(mItem.getVideoId(), resumePoint);
}
}
For others who reach here for the same question, I ended up parsing srt file and adding a popup containing a textview to show the caption.
The problem was syncing the text and video because the youtube player timer reports the position in a random period. you can fix it by adding another timer.
