Overview

Replaces the basic PlayerView video implementation with a modern, clean Material 3 video player featuring custom controls and smooth animations. This addresses the need for a more polished video viewing experience that follows Material Design principles.

🎯 Features Implemented

Core Functionality

  • Play/Pause controls with dynamic Material 3 FAB
  • 10-second forward/backward seeking (as specified in requirements)
  • Video title display from metadata or filename fallback
  • Back button navigation with proper activity lifecycle
  • Progress bar with scrubbing for precise seeking

UI/UX Enhancements

  • Auto-hiding controls that fade out after 3 seconds during playback
  • Smooth fade animations using AnimatedVisibility with proper timing
  • Touch-anywhere toggle to show/hide controls intuitively
  • Loading states with Material 3 progress indicators
  • Responsive design that works across different screen sizes

🏗️ Technical Implementation

New Components Added

VideoPlayerManager.kt

class VideoPlayerManager(context: Context) {
    fun forward() {
        val newPosition = exoPlayer.currentPosition + 10000L // 10 seconds
        exoPlayer.seekTo(newPosition)
    }
    
    fun backward() {
        val newPosition = (exoPlayer.currentPosition - 10000L).coerceAtLeast(0L)
        exoPlayer.seekTo(newPosition)
    }
}

VideoPlayer.kt

  • Clean Material 3 composable following established patterns
  • Auto-hiding controls with smooth animations
  • Proper state management and lifecycle handling

Architecture Improvements

Before: Basic PlayerView with default controls

AndroidView(
    factory = { context ->
        PlayerView(context).apply {
            useController = instance.mediaSource is MediaSource.VideoSource
            player = instance.player
        }
    }
)

After: Custom Material 3 interface

VideoPlayer(
    instance = instance,
    onBackClick = { finish() }
)

Clean Code Practices

  • Separation of concerns: Business logic in VideoPlayerManager, UI in VideoPlayer
  • Consistent patterns: Follows existing AudioPlayer architecture
  • Proper resource management: DisposableEffect for cleanup
  • State management: Reactive UI updates with Compose state

🎨 Material 3 Design

  • Color scheme compliance: Uses MaterialTheme.colorScheme throughout
  • Typography: Proper text styles and hierarchy
  • Iconography: Material Icons with appropriate sizes
  • Interaction states: Proper button states and feedback
  • Elevation and shadows: Subtle overlays for depth

🔄 Migration Path

The change is seamless for existing users:

  • Video files automatically use the new player
  • Audio files continue using the existing AudioPlayer
  • Unknown media types show appropriate error messages

📱 User Experience

Users now get a much more polished video viewing experience:

  • Intuitive controls that feel native to Android
  • Smooth interactions with proper animations
  • Clean interface that doesn't distract from content
  • Professional appearance matching modern app standards

This implementation transforms the basic video playback into a sophisticated, user-friendly experience while maintaining the clean architecture and performance characteristics of the existing codebase.

This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.

Create a clean, modern video player following Material 3 design principles with the following requirements:

Features Required:

  • Play/Pause functionality
  • Fast forward (10s) and backward (10s) seeking
  • Display video file title
  • Back button to exit player
  • Clean, minimal UI that follows Material 3 design guidelines

Design Requirements:

  • Modern, clean interface
  • Proper separation of concerns
  • Well-organized code structure
  • Material 3 design components
  • Responsive controls that auto-hide
  • Smooth animations

Technical Requirements:

  • Use ExoPlayer for video playback
  • Jetpack Compose UI
  • Proper state management
  • Clean architecture with separated components
  • Handle loading and error states gracefully

The current implementation in AllInOne_Version1.kt is overly complex and messy. Create a simplified, clean version that focuses on the core functionality while maintaining professional code quality.
