'How to remove Next and Previous button from SimpleExoPlayerView in Android

I use ExoPlayer to play audio on my Android App with SimpleExoPlayerView as the controller. The default controller have five button, Play/Pause, Forward, Backward, Next, and Previous. My app only use Play/Pause, Forward, and Backward, so I want to remove the Next and Previous button from the controller but I couldn't find how to do it with the SimpleExoPlayerView. How do I achieve this?

android exoplayer

Solution 1:^[1]

There are default styles for each button. Just override the styles of Previous and Next buttons and add visibility gone.
Put below styles in your style.xml

<style name="ExoMediaButton.Previous">
    <item name="android:visibility">gone</item>
</style>

<style name="ExoMediaButton.Next">
    <item name="android:visibility">gone</item>
</style>

Solution 2:^[2]

Try the following in your style.xml

    <style name="ExoMediaButton.Previous">
        <item name="android:layout_height">0dp</item>
        <item name="android:layout_width">0dp</item>
    </style>

    <style name="ExoMediaButton.Next">
        <item name="android:layout_height">0dp</item>
        <item name="android:layout_width">0dp</item>
    </style>

Notice that the visibility of buttons is changed dynamically
So it's better to set zero size of them to fully hide

    <ImageButton android:id="@id/exo_prev"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton.Previous"
        android:visibility="gone"/>

    <ImageButton android:id="@id/exo_rew"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton.Rewind"/>

    <ImageButton android:id="@id/exo_shuffle"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton.Shuffle"
        android:visibility="gone"/>

    <ImageButton android:id="@id/exo_repeat_toggle"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton"
        android:visibility="gone"/>

    <ImageButton android:id="@id/exo_play"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton.Play"/>

    <ImageButton android:id="@id/exo_pause"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton.Pause"/>

    <ImageButton android:id="@id/exo_ffwd"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton.FastForward"/>

    <ImageButton android:id="@id/exo_next"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton.Next"
        android:visibility="gone"/>

    <ImageButton android:id="@+id/exo_fullscreen"
        android:src="@drawable/fullscreen"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton"/>

    <ImageButton android:id="@+id/exo_vr"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton"
        android:visibility="gone"/>

Solution 4:^[4]

the PlayerView class of exoplayer has two methods to hide those

    playerView.setShowNextButton(showNextPrevButtons)
    playerView.setShowPreviousButton(showNextPrevButtons)

Solution 5:^[5]

You should hideControl(), I also do it.

Create CustomSimpleExoPlerView like SimpleExoPlayerView.
Comment all line have showControl().
Set CustomSimpleExoPlayer in xml.

Solution 6:^[6]

StyledPlayerView playerView = view.findViewById(R.id.videoPlayer);
playerView.findViewById(R.id.exo_prev).setVisibility(View.GONE);
playerView.findViewById(R.id.exo_next).setVisibility(View.GONE);

This is worked for me!
