I've added a GestureDetector to the YouTubePlayerFragment in a dialog and it works fine - flings up, down, left and right can be detected. I also have a custom fullscreen handler where I hide widgets and make the player (still in the dialog) fullscreen and landscape. The GestorDetector behaves weirdly when fullscreen. It consistently takes 3, 4, or even 5 flings before the onTouch method of the player view is fire. Has anybody else seen this behaviour or have an idea on how to fix?

straight to the point: Our app has UITableView with UITableViewCell that has AVPlayerViewController inside (its view) + custom video controls. One of the controls is fullscreen mode. Note that everything works perfectly - loading video, reusing, even the fullscreen.
Fullscreen functionality is based on creating new UIWindow, setting its rootViewController to the videoplayer and making it keyAndVisible - basically showing fullscreen AVPlayerViewController from cell subview on tap
The issue comes when user locks his device - after unlocking, the fullscreen window "disappears" and app is frozen / stuck on previous screen (the list with video cell, text cells.. - the one that made the new UIWindow)
The UIWindow (video window) is there, but without content (no subviews, VCs..) on top of the main (app, tableview list..) UIWindow - refer to pictures.
This issue is not happening on Simulator - only real devices.
View hierarchy debug before locking the device and showing the video on fullscreen (with new UIWindow):
View hierarchy debug after unlocking the device and app freezing on previous UIWindow:
Is there any possible fix? Or a better way of presenting AVPlayerViewController from UITableViewCell (while playing and without stopping the video)?
Note: the bug happens even if we remove landscape / portrait orientation changing, the issue seems to be related to UIWindow
PS: sorry for hiding the names in the pictures - NDA...
After several sleepless nights, I don't have any more ideas how to do what I am trying to do.
In short words, I am trying to allow my fullscreen video to be accessible in all orientations (landscape and portrait). This is the only place in the app where I want to allow that. All other views are locked to portrait.
My idea was to delegate fullscreen enter / exit event and in that place, programmatically set orientation allowance, so on fullscreen enter, unlock landscape additionally and on fullscreen exit, lock back only to portrait. Everything works fine apart from the one crucial part...I can not delegate fullscreen enter/exit event (delegating those events was my idea but I might be completely wrong and that should be managed in completely different way)
I am using this library: https://github.com/brentvatne/react-native-video
Thanks in advance for any help!
The game I'm developing consists of a Main Menu, and Game viewController separately.
However when moving from the game screen to the menu screen, it seems as if the class files from the previous viewController are still in effect?
For example, players start the game by tapping anywhere on the screen whilst in the game viewController, which causes a new bar to be "launched", which in turn plays a small tone which varies depending on the direction. However when returning to the main menu after the game is over (achieved by pressing a button to present the menu viewController), tapping anywhere on the menu screen seems to start the game again from the game viewController?
By this, I mean the bar launch sound is played, despite there being no code available in the main menu viewController to play said sound, pressing play on the menu will take you to the game screen, where the game has been reset, until tapping again, where the sound plays implying a new bar is launched, despite all images being invisible.
I made sure that, when leaving any view, I wipe all subviews from the view, so that whenever the screen is loaded there's nothing being covered up. I also tried dismissing the previous view controller, however nothing seems to take effect. So, I can't tell for certain whether the views are being removed or what... It's simply mind breaking to me.
Unfortunately my descriptions most likely aren't doing myself any justice, so hopefully this video demonstration will help out. Note that at the beginning, I am tapping the screen to show that no sound is played, however of course that won't be visible.
Edit: You'll notice that when returning to the menu, tapping the screen seems to mess up the moving bar in the background, despite the gameBarMovement timer being invalidated upon moving from the game to the menu. The fact that they're using separate class files also should mean the bars shouldn't be effected? Knowing me, I've missed something fairly obvious.
This is how the UIViewController life-cycle works as far as I know. UIViewcontrollers aren't unloaded until the app starts running out of memory. What you probably need is some way, in your game VC, to stop the game loop from running and resume it once a new game is started.
I'm implementing drag-keyboard dismissal (like in the iPhone Messages app) manually because UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeInteractive doesn't seem to work with a text view inside a toolbar above the keyboard.
It works in portraint mode, but in landscape orientation, sometimes when I animate the toolbar (which is actually just a UIView) & keyboard, they freeze. But, they did animate because I checked using breakpoints that the animation code ran and when I tap on the screen where they're supposed to be, I get the correct reactions (like keyboard keys pop up, etc.).
I'm using the old style of animations beginAnimations:context: because this is how to mimic the keyboard animation in iOS 7.
This seems like an iOS SDK bug. How do I fix this?
I was sometimes (when the pan velocity was large) using UIViewAnimationCurveLinear instead of the curve from the keyboard notification's userInfo. I took that condition out so that I always use the curve from the keyboard notification's userInfo and things seem to be working fine now.
I'm using simple MPMoviePlayerController. In portrait mode it is emmbedded into my layout. When I rotate my device I want it to go full screen. In full screen mode there is a done button but only thing it does is pausing the video. I want to dismiss modal view controller when the done button is tapped. How can I do this?
I've tried:
Putting a [UIColor clearColor] on a background of a button and place a button over Done button thus intercept touch event into my own selector. It failed because my custom button isn't displayed when MPMoviePlayerController is in fullscreen mode.
Going to notification center and trying to catch "willExitFullscreen" but it won't occur (pressing done button when in landscape fullscreen mode isn't goint out from the fullscreen mode).
Finding done button in the MPMoviePlayerController... but I was unable to find it.
Using MPMoviePlayerViewController isn't an option as I want to be able to use embedded player in my controller when i Portrait mode, and be able to rotate movie without loading it from scratch (so pushing new controller when user changes device orientation isn't right solution for me).
I've read a few topics on this issue and question can be the same or similar but anserws require either things I've checked (i.e. notifications) or things I can't use (MPMoviePlayerViewController).
ANSWER (as I am unable to post it in 7h)
Heh ok..
The culprit of this whole mess was this line of code
[self.mpPlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen];
So it seems that setting Fullscreen control style when going into fullscreen mode will break done button....
Makes no sense to me. But when I commented out this line I am able to recive willExitFullscreen notification and I can work with that.
