Improve Android Audio Focus (#1897)
Implement audio focus as per android docs:
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media-apps/audio-focus
https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/audio-focus-3-cdc09da9c122

AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS should abandon focus and not try resuming audio, this is done with AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS_TRANSIENT

This fixes at least:
- Audio not being paused after focus being taken by some voip applications
- Content resuming and pausing instantly sporadically (some race condition perhaps) when activity was resumed from background.

react-native-video - ExoPlayer

This is an Android React Native video component based on ExoPlayer v2.

ExoPlayer is an application level media player for Android. It provides an alternative to Androids MediaPlayer API for playing audio and video both locally and over the Internet. ExoPlayer supports features not currently supported by Androids MediaPlayer API, including DASH and SmoothStreaming adaptive playbacks. Unlike the MediaPlayer API, ExoPlayer is easy to customize and extend, and can be updated through Play Store application updates.

Benefits over react-native-video@0.9.0:

  • Android Video library built by Google, with a lot of support
  • Supports DASH, HlS, & SmoothStreaming adaptive streams
  • Supports formats such as MP4, M4A, FMP4, WebM, MKV, MP3, Ogg, WAV, MPEG-TS, MPEG-PS, FLV and ADTS (AAC).
  • Fewer device specific issues
  • Highly customisable

ExoPlayer only props


  render() {
    return (
      <Video
        ...
        disableFocus={true} // disables audio focus and wake lock (default false)
        onAudioBecomingNoisy={this.onAudioBecomingNoisy} // Callback when audio is becoming noisy - should pause video
        onAudioFocusChanged={this.onAudioFocusChanged} // Callback when audio focus has been lost - pause if focus has been lost
      />
    )
  }

  onAudioBecomingNoisy = () => {
    this.setState({ pause: true })
  }

  onAudioFocusChanged = (event: { hasAudioFocus: boolean }) => {
    if (!this.state.paused && !event.hasAudioFocus) {
      this.setState({ paused: true })
    }
  }
