In order to create a volume control using SeekBar, we have to know the maximum volume and current volume. It can be retrieved using the method audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC) and audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC). And we can change the volume when SeekBar changed, using the method audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, volume index, flags).
Firstly, modify main.xml to add a SeekBar as Volume Control.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
>
<Button
android:id="@+id/playvideoplayer"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="- PLAY Video -"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/pausevideoplayer"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="- PAUSE Video -"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<SeekBar
android:id="@+id/volbar"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10px"
/>
<SurfaceView
android:id="@+id/surfaceview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Modify AndroidVideoPlayer to handle the SeekBar as Volume Control.
