is it possible to draw a line over videocontrol in a canvas?

[byronlilu]

i wanna draw a line over a videocontrol in a canvas.
is it possible?

the following is from web:
How to play video in Canvas(J2ME)

Canvas is low-level API that allows user-defined painting schemes, displayed by Display instance carried by MIDlet. Compared with Form, VideoControl is able to be cast to an Item, then taken by Form. There is no direct association between Player and Canvas. Moreover, VideoControl instance is itself-equipted with a paint layer that sits on top of any layer if configed at final stage. Therefore, Canvas is used to display some control symbols drawn by developers, at somewhere on canvas VideoControl sits on top to display video screen.


in the above content, --> on canvas VideoControl sits on top to display video screen.

so i am not sure i can draw a line over a videocontrol in a canvas.but i hope
my midlet has this function.

any clue?

best regards.

You need the AMMS (JSR-234) optional packages, which include OverlayControl toi achieve this.

hi byronlilu,
The jsr234 supports a numerous controls.Even if the phone supports jsr234 it is not mandatory that all the controls are supported.U have to be careful about this.
Thanks

At least N95 and E90 has support for JSR-234. From that I would assume that most of the 3rd Ed. FP1 phones will have it.

hi soku123.

I will try it on N95 or E90, at the same time pay attention to the
controls of jsr234 .some of which are implemented, others not.

thank you both again.

The OverlayControl is not available on S60 3rd Edition FP1 phones. The AMMS implementation on those phones support Music and 3D Audio packages

I am trying to display a Video on the canvas,but VideoControl is not getting initialized properly.I am posting my code for review.

Canvas canvas = new Canvas() {
protected void paint(Graphics g) {

}
};
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(canvas);
try
{
videoPlayer = Manager.createPlayer("http://10.76.121.75:8080/servlets-examples/song1.3gp");
videoPlayer.addPlayerListener(this);
videoPlayer.realize();
videoPlayer.prefetch();
try
{
VideoControl videoControl = (VideoControl)(videoPlayer.getControl("VideoControl"));

if(videoControl!=null)
{

videoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO, canvas);
videoControl.setVisible(true);
videoPlayer.start();
}
else
System.out.println("Video Control not supported");
}
catch(IllegalArgumentException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch(IllegalStateException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (MediaException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch(SecurityException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

Every time I am getting videocontrol value as null.Please reply as soon as possible.
