Hi,
I created an application that creates an object that extends mainscreen.
that object creates an object that extends Thread.
THAT object gets intantiated and i do a .start() on it.
Naturally, that runs the run() function of that class that extends Thread, right?
I have that run() function do all the steps of creating a media player, prefetching and playing.
Now, how do I control that player with the menu buttons or UI buttons?
the object is called playerThread. Why can't I go playerThread.stopPlaying(); inside the run() of my menuItem???
class myApp extends UiApplication {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create a new instance of the application.
myApp theApp = new myApp();
// To make the application enter the event thread and start processing messages,
// we invoke the enterEventDispatcher() method.
theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
}
private myApp()
{
// Push the main screen instance onto the UI stack for rendering.
pushScreen(new myAppScreen());
}
}
class myAppScreen extends MainScreen
{
private String murl;
private String currentUrlToPlay;
private HttpConnection conn;
private InputStream is;
private SharedInputStream readAhead;
private Player _player;
myAppScreen() {
boolean whereAmI = UiApplication.getUiApplication().isEventThread();
System.out.println("Am I in the event thread?" + whereAmI);
PlayerThread playerThread = new PlayerThread();
playerThread.start();
}
class PlayerThread extends Thread {
void startPlayer() {
UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Status.show("invoked message.");
}
});
murl = "http://www.myhost.com/mp3stream;deviceside=true;interface=wifi";
try
{
conn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(murl, Connector.READ_WRITE);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
murl = "http://www.myhost.com/mp3stream;deviceside=true";
try {
conn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(murl, Connector.READ_WRITE);
}
catch (Exception f) {
}
}
try
{
is = conn.openInputStream();
readAhead = SharedInputStream.getSharedInputStream(is);
_player = Manager.createPlayer(readAhead, "audio/mpeg");
_player.realize();
_player.prefetch();
_player.start();
}
catch (Exception e) {
UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Status.show("failure.");
}
});
}
}
void stopPlaying() {
_player.stop();
}
public void run() {
startPlayer();
}
}
private MenuItem playItem = new MenuItem("Play", 200000, 10) {
public void run() {
Status.show("Connecting...");
}
};
private MenuItem pauseItem = new MenuItem("Pause", 200000, 10) {
public void run() {
Status.show("Pausing...");
playerThread.stopPlaying();
}
};
