I have tried to simplify the process Based on the cycle of
100 ms play 100ms pause , etc...
handle = new Handler();
play = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
if (mMediaPlayer != null) {
mMediaPlayer.setLooping(false);
if (mMediaPlayer.isPlaying() ) mMediaPlayer.pause();
else mMediaPlayer.start();
if (mMediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition() < (mMediaPlayer.getDuration()
- 5))
handle.postDelayed(this, MaxDelay);
}
}
};
play.run();
Where MaxDelay can be changed using a SeekBar.
This does slow it down, but it can appear very jerky
any ideas how we can still slow down and lose the jerkiness ?
Thanks again
