Video do not pause in Expo video When back button is pressed

Question

Android back button doesnt stop the video (Expo video player) , when it is pressed. I want to pause the video in android device when the back button is pressed in order to exit from full screen.

Please let me know what can I do to fix it.

Answer 1

you can simply a lot of docs about ExoPlayer in internet and its official docs in github, but for pausing your Exoplayer sample you need override onBackPressed() method and pause exo object:

    @Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();
    player.setPlayWhenReady(false);// for pausing- set true for resuming
}
