Android get URL of current track like iOS

[tychota]

Hey.

I'm instantiating a list of player on a react native page.
The goal is to display a list of question and let the user play the response of the question.

In peculiar if the user play a question, then click another question, it should stop the first and start the second.

When the user click on the question, onPress is called.

onAudioEvt = (evt: any) => {
    switch (evt.status) {
      case PLAYING:
        if (evt.url === this.getUrl()) {
          this.setState({ playing : true });
        } else {
          this.setState({ playing : false });
          this.subscription.remove();
          delete this.subscription;
        }
        break;
      case STOPPED:
      case ERROR:
        this.setState({ playing : false });
        this.subscription.remove();
        delete this.subscription;
        break;
    }
  }

  onPress = () => {
    if (!this.subscription) {
      this.subscription = DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('AudioBridgeEvent', this.onAudioEvt);
      ReactNativeAudioStreaming.play(this.getUrl(), {});
    } else {
      ReactNativeAudioStreaming.stop();
    }
  }

In ios this works fine because evt contain an url props (and also a duration that I ulse elsewhere but that is an other issue.

Is there a way on android to get the event current url ??

I'm not against contributing.

Will:

• add the url as an intent parameter like broadcastedIntent.putExtra("url", "this.streamingURL");
• sending the broadcast

works ?

Hi !

Yes we are missing some informations on the android side. We need url, duration and progress if possible on the events. Also on the method getStatus https://github.com/tlenclos/react-native-audio-streaming/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/audioStreaming/ReactNativeAudioStreamingModule.java#L120.

Feel free to open a PR, thanks ;)

I managed to add url but I'm not abled to get duration and progress.
Do you know where I can get the info from accPlayer ?

So far my code in signal.java:

@Override
    public void playerPCMFeedBuffer(boolean isPlaying, int bufSizeMs, int bufCapacityMs) {
        if (isPlaying) {
            this.isPreparingStarted = false;
            if (bufSizeMs < 500) {
                this.isPlaying = false;
                sendBroadcast(new Intent(Mode.BUFFERING_START));
                //buffering
            } else {
                this.isPlaying = true;
                Intent BroadcastIntent = new Intent(Mode.PLAYING);
                BroadcastIntent.putExtra("url", this.streamingURL);
                BroadcastIntent.putExtra("duration", bufCapacityMs / 1000);
                BroadcastIntent.putExtra("progress", bufSizeMs / 1000);
                sendBroadcast(BroadcastIntent);
                //playing
            }
        } else {
            //buffering
            this.isPlaying = false;
            sendBroadcast(new Intent(Mode.BUFFERING_START));
        }
    }

and in eventReceiver.java:

@Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        WritableMap params = Arguments.createMap();
        params.putString("status", intent.getAction());

        if (intent.getAction().equals(Mode.METADATA_UPDATED)) {
            params.putString("key", intent.getStringExtra("key"));
            params.putString("value", intent.getStringExtra("value"));
        }

        if (intent.getAction().equals(Mode.PLAYING)) {
            params.putString("url", intent.getStringExtra("url"));
            params.putString("duration", intent.getStringExtra("duration"));
            params.putString("progress", intent.getStringExtra("progress"));
        }

        this.module.sendEvent(this.module.getReactApplicationContextModule(), "AudioBridgeEvent", params);
    }

So far url works perfectly but I get null for both duration and progress.

I'm pretty sure I'm not that far but I guess I need a bit more help.

OKI. I was sending double and watching string.

I'm openning a PR.

[tychota]

The PR was rejected as the behaviour with progress was wrong. Basically it was not possible before we switch to a better android playing library.

This is handled in #12 .

So closing.
