Using slider to forward and backward a song

[uskiara]

Dear @Rudiji,
happy having helped you.
Cheers

This can be done without any problem using the built-in slider component without extension.

We probably don't need to use an extension to replace one variable.

My MP3 Player (MP3 Player)

I just want to share about MP3 Player apps that I just created using App Inventor which I name it "My MP3 Player". This apps could create playlist from internal memory or SD card and the playlist could be stored in local database (using TinyDB). When this app run it will check is there any playlist in database or not, if there then it will load playlist into Listview but if database blank then it will check is there SD card or not, if there then it will retrieve mp3 files in SD card but if not…

Here I give a video example of how to rewind and advance the song with the TaifunPlayer extension and you can download the AIA to see how it works

Slider - Customizable Simple Slider

This extension provides a flexible way to create and customize sliders in Android applications, allowing you to control their appearance and behavior through simple methods. Values and parameters for each function: [component_method (6)] InitializeSeekBar(HVArrangement arrangement, String sliderID) Initializes a SeekBar within a specified arrangement and associates it with a unique identifier (sliderID). Sets up labels to display the initial and current values. Adds the SeekBar and labels…

Hi,

First you need to download and use TaifunPlayer extension for your app could use slider to move up or move down the current playing song. Also you can display the duration of song and display the current position of song.
To display the changes of the current position of song you need to use clock and slider component.
As reference you could see the code blocks of my app - My MP3 Player to know how to implement TaifunPlayer extension, clock and slider component to display duration of song and current position of song.

We should also refer here to the development history of this app: My MP3 Player (MP3 Player), which @TimAI2 already pointed out (in post #12).

@Asri_Rusdi

To display the changes of the current position of song you need to use clock and slider component.

I made a small correction to your app regarding the slider. If the music is paused and the slider position is changed, the player starts immediately. This should not be the case and can be adjusted as follows:

Another thing that is usually expected from a music player is that when you fast forward or rewind, the sound remains audible even during this fast forward/rewind. This is useful, among other things, if you want to find a specific point in a music track. This should not be possible with the on-board Slider component. I used @Ken's SliderTools (four years ago) for this:

Fast forward and backward and progress bar for mp3 player

Here are the used components & extensions (TaifunPlayer: @Taifun, SliderTools: @Ken, FileTools: @vknow360 ): [grafik] It is really a challenge to achieve this. For something like that, Kodular has a “Daily Challenge” topic that, as far as I can remember, was opened by @Peter. PS: I have to do more tests … also with different devices and Android versions …

Thanks Anke.
I will try your that 2 suggestions to improve my app.

Time Format Extension - Millis to [HH:mm:ss] - [days + HH:mm:ss] - [HH:mm] - [mm:ss] etc

Here is an extension to format the time / duration (millis) in different ways: → [ HH:mm:ss ] → [ days + HH:mm:ss ] → [ HH:mm ] → [ mm:ss ] → etc. This is asked very often and always requires a lot of questions / answers and posts in the forum. (Last here: Creating a Chronometer - #17 by PizzaGuy07) Hence this extension (some of it can also be implemented with the on-board methods, but I want to simplify it:): Version 1 (May 20, 2020): TFormat.aix (5.5 KB) Version 2 (Oct 20, 2021): TForm…
