Converting AudioPlayer into a VideoPlayer
Based on what you have learned so far, you might think that converting the AudioPlayer application to play video
is a straightforward task, and you would be right. The first step is simply to rename the SongModel class to the more
appropriate MediaModel . No code changes are required. Although movies do not typically contain metadata, it does
not hurt to leave in the code that looks for them. Rather than display metadata, we create a new view that displays the
MediaView instead. This VideoView class is shown in Listing 9-36.
Listing 9-36. A View That Displays the MediaView Node
public class VideoView extends AbstractView {
public VideoView(MediaModel mediaModel) {
super(mediaModel);
}
@Override
protected Node initView() {
MediaView mv = new MediaView();
mv.mediaPlayerProperty().bind(mediaModel.mediaPlayerProperty());
return mv;
}
}
This simple class uses its initView method to create a MediaView and bind the MediaView 's
mediaPlayerProperty to the mediaPlayerProperty we created in our MediaModel (formerly SongModel ) class.
