MediaPlayer.seekTo() not seeking to position on Android -


i'm working on app in video paused @ 3 different intervals. after second pause, if button clicked, should start previous location.

eg. if paused @ 1:30, on click of button, goes previous bookmark, i.e. 00:45.

i thought using mediaplayer.seekto() me achieve this. but, seekto() doesn't seek position @ all. currentposition stays same after call seekto();

here's code.

mediaplayer.setonseekcompletelistener(new onseekcompletelistener() {     @override     public void onseekcomplete(mediaplayer mp) {         log.d("vid_player","seek complete. current position: " + mp.getcurrentposition());         mp.start();     } });

and somewhere below, have this...

mediaplayer.seekto(45000);

what problem? why isn't seekto(); working? appreciated.

i testing on android v4.0.3 (ics)

one of reasons why android not able seekto because of strange encoding of videos. example in mp4 format called "seek points" (i.e. search index) can specified @ begining , @ end of file. if specified @ begining of file seekto behave correctly. if specified @ end of file seekto nothing , video start begining after seekto.

this confirmed bug-or-feature in android 4.4.2.

p.s. on youtube videos encoded "seek points" @ begining of file. if have problem seekto in app first of check app video files youtube. perhaps you'll need reencode videos...

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
