Android MediaPlayer: Get HTTP response headers

Question

I have a VideoView that gets a video from an authenticated source, so I've added headers to the request using setVideoURI(Uri uri, Map headers), which seems related to this MediaPlayer setDataSource method. This works fine.

However, I need to get the response headers returned from the servers because the authentication information refreshes with each request. Where can I get the Response? I assume it has to do with setting some kind of listener?

I've really exhausted the Internet on this one. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Getting HTTP response headers is not support in the clean way on media player. The author of this class implement it in native not in java.

    private native void nativeSetDataSource(
    IBinder httpServiceBinder, String path, String[] keys, String[] values)
    throws IOException, IllegalArgumentException, SecurityException, IllegalStateException;

Hope this help.
