Android TV - Enter / Back Button issue

[fegauthier]

Hi guys!

Is it the normal behaviour that when I press OK Button, the controls doesnt appear? Same thing when I press the back button, it doesn't do anything. When controls are show, i'm able to control it, but when it disappear, i'm not able to respawn it.

Thanks

EDIT:

Play/Pause button works and spawn the controls. Just wanted to know why the OK button doesnt

Web events seems to override some event of the view itself.

@fegauthier When you are on TV you do not need to see the controls as you are using the TV remote controller. So there is only five keys which are taken by the listener:

• DPAD_RIGHT fast forward
• DPAD_LEFT rewind
• DPAD_CENTER play/pause
• MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD fast forward speed 2
• KEYCODE_MEDIA_REWIND rewind speed 2

"Web events seems to override some event of the view itself." i do not understand what you mean

I'm testing on a Fire Stick 4K stick at the moment. I put a console.log on keypress in my Web App. If I pressed the right button. Nothing happen in the ExoPlayer, But I see my console.log in the web console.

If you look at my breakpoints, every key that I press on my controller don't trigger this event. I never get into these breakpoints.

@fegauthier did you make any progress about it? I'm confused about how to handle the button pressed with this video player...

I did. Event seems to be trigger on the webview instead of the ExoPlayer. So I added an event listener in the web view and I call capacitor method to trigger some actions on the ExoPlayer.

OK, thanks, it helps.

And, by any chance, did you find how to exit/close the player when using the Back Button?

If you look at the PR I did #121

I added new functions. One of them is exitPlayer. So I call this function when I press backbutton.
