Overrides:

enableTouchActivity()

This function reports user activity whenever touch events happen. This can get turned off by any sub-components that wants touch events to act another way.

Report user touch activity when touch events occur. User activity gets used to determine when controls should show/hide. It is simple when it comes to mouse events, because any mouse event should show the controls. So we capture mouse events that bubble up to the player and report activity when that happens. With touch events it isn't as easy as touchstart and touchend toggle player controls. So touch events can't help us at the player level either.

User activity gets checked asynchronously. So what could happen is a tap event on the video turns the controls off. Then the touchend event bubbles up to the player. Which, if it reported user activity, would turn the controls right back on. We also don't want to completely block touch events from bubbling up. Furthermore a touchmove event and anything other than a tap, should not turn controls back on.

Listens to Events:
  • Component#event:touchstart
  • Component#event:touchmove
  • Component#event:touchend
  • Component#event:touchcancel

Overrides:

localize(string, tokensopt, defaultValueopt) → {string}

Localize a string given the string in english.

If tokens are provided, it'll try and run a simple token replacement on the provided string. The tokens it looks for look like {1} with the index being 1-indexed into the tokens array.

If a defaultValue is provided, it'll use that over string, if a value isn't found in provided language files. This is useful if you want to have a descriptive key for token replacement but have a succinct localized string and not require en.json to be included.

Currently, it is used for the progress bar timing.

{
  "progress bar timing: currentTime={1} duration={2}": "{1} of {2}"
}

It is then used like so:

this.localize('progress bar timing: currentTime={1} duration{2}',
              [this.player_.currentTime(), this.player_.duration()],
              '{1} of {2}');

string string

The string to localize and the key to lookup in the language files.

tokens Array.<string> <optional>

If the current item has token replacements, provide the tokens here.

setInterval(fn, interval) → {number}

Creates a function that gets run every x milliseconds. This function is a wrapper around window.setInterval. There are a few reasons to use this one instead though.

  1. It gets cleared via Component#clearInterval when Component#dispose gets called.
  2. The function callback will be a Component~GenericCallback
Parameters:
Name Type Description
fn Component~GenericCallback

The function to run every x seconds.

interval number

Execute the specified function every x milliseconds.

Listens to Events:
Returns:

setTimeout(fn, timeout) → {number}

Creates a function that runs after an x millisecond timeout. This function is a wrapper around window.setTimeout. There are a few reasons to use this one instead though:

  1. It gets cleared via Component#clearTimeout when Component#dispose gets called.
  2. The function callback will gets turned into a Component~GenericCallback

Note: You can't use window.clearTimeout on the id returned by this function. This will cause its dispose listener not to get cleaned up! Please use Component#clearTimeout or Component#dispose instead.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
fn Component~GenericCallback

The function that will be run after timeout.

timeout number

Timeout in milliseconds to delay before executing the specified function.

Listens to Events:
Returns:
