Youtube Floating Video - FlyingVideo 📺

Easy to use floating Youtube Video Library

More features will be added in upcoming days

Why this project exist ?

Picture in picture has become popular these days. Unfortunately Android brought this support to Android 8.0 (API level 26) and later versions. Pip and floating video supported apps offer users the ability to easily view other features while watching videos (Like reading comments etc). With this library you can play youtube videos in a floating panel.

Features and Usage

Easy implementation

view can be any Button, Imageview or ImageButton which activate the FlyingVideo. videoId should have an ID of your YouTube video. For simply:

  FlyingVideo.get(MainActivity.this)
             .setFloatMode(TaskCoffeeVideo.FLOAT_MOVE.STICKY)
             .setVideoStartSecond((mTracker == null) ? 0 : mTracker.getCurrentSecond())
             .coffeeVideoSetup(videoId)
             .show(view);

Sticky and Free Mode

Sticky FLOAT_MOVE

FlyingVideo automatically snaps up or down according to the position of the screen where you left the panel.

  FlyingVideo.get(MainActivity.this)
             .setFloatMode(TaskCoffeeVideo.FLOAT_MOVE.STICKY)
             .setVideoStartSecond((mTracker == null) ? 0 : mTracker.getCurrentSecond())
             .coffeeVideoSetup(videoId)
             .show(view);

Free FLOAT_MOVE

FlyingVideo never sticks on constant position, it stays on the position where you left.

               .setFloatMode(TaskCoffeeVideo.FLOAT_MOVE.FREE)
               .setVideoStartSecond((mTracker == null) ? 0 : mTracker.getCurrentSecond())
