Class MediaView

java.lang.Object
javafx.scene.Node
javafx.scene.media.MediaView
All Implemented Interfaces:
Styleable, EventTarget
public class MediaView extends Node
A Node that provides a view of Media being played by a MediaPlayer.

The following code snippet provides a simple example of an Application.start() method which displays a video: 


 public void start(Stage stage) {
     // Create and set the Scene.
     Scene scene = new Scene(new Group(), 540, 209);
     stage.setScene(scene);

     // Name and display the Stage.
     stage.setTitle("Hello Media");
     stage.show();

     // Create the media source.
     String source = getParameters().getRaw().get(0);
     Media media = new Media(source);

     // Create the player and set to play automatically.
     MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
     mediaPlayer.setAutoPlay(true);

     // Create the view and add it to the Scene.
     MediaView mediaView = new MediaView(mediaPlayer);
     ((Group) scene.getRoot()).getChildren().add(mediaView);
 }
The foregoing code will display the video as:

Hello Media

  • Property Details

    • mediaPlayer

      public final ObjectProperty<MediaPlayer> mediaPlayerProperty
      The mediaPlayer whose output will be handled by this view. Setting this value does not affect the status of the MediaPlayer, e.g., if the MediaPlayer was playing prior to setting mediaPlayer then it will continue playing.
      See Also:

    • onError

      public final ObjectProperty<EventHandler<MediaErrorEvent>> onErrorProperty
      Event handler to be invoked whenever an error occurs on this MediaView.
      See Also:

    • preserveRatio

      public final BooleanProperty preserveRatioProperty
      Whether to preserve the aspect ratio (width / height) of the media when scaling it to fit the node. If the aspect ratio is not preserved, the media will be stretched or sheared in both dimensions to fit the dimensions of the node. The default value is true.
      See Also:

    • smooth

      public final BooleanProperty smoothProperty
      If set to true a better quality filtering algorithm will be used when scaling this video to fit within the bounding box provided by fitWidth and fitHeight or when transforming. If set to false a faster but lesser quality filtering will be used. The default value depends on platform configuration.
      See Also:

    • x

      public final DoubleProperty xProperty
      Defines the current x coordinate of the MediaView origin.
      See Also:

    • y

      public final DoubleProperty yProperty
      Defines the current y coordinate of the MediaView origin.
      See Also:

    • fitWidth

      public final DoubleProperty fitWidthProperty
      Determines the width of the bounding box within which the source media is resized as necessary to fit. If value ≤ 0, then the width of the bounding box will be set to the natural width of the media, but fitWidth will be set to the supplied parameter, even if non-positive.

      See preserveRatio for information on interaction between media views fitWidth, fitHeight and preserveRatio attributes.

      See Also:

    • fitHeight

      public final DoubleProperty fitHeightProperty
      Determines the height of the bounding box within which the source media is resized as necessary to fit. If value ≤ 0, then the height of the bounding box will be set to the natural height of the media, but fitHeight will be set to the supplied parameter, even if non-positive.

      See preserveRatio for information on interaction between media views fitWidth, fitHeight and preserveRatio attributes.

      See Also:

    • viewport

      public final ObjectProperty<Rectangle2D> viewportProperty
      Specifies a rectangular viewport into the media frame. The viewport is a rectangle specified in the coordinates of the media frame. The resulting bounds prior to scaling will be the size of the viewport. The displayed image will include the intersection of the frame and the viewport. The viewport can exceed the size of the frame, but only the intersection will be displayed. Setting viewport to null will clear the viewport.
