Show controls in Movie Player when the movie is finished - iphone

Question

I want to show movie player controls when the movie is finished, so I add observer to NSNotificationCenter :
- (void)movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*)aNotification
{
// Obtain the reason why the movie playback finished
NSNumber *finishReason = [[aNotification userInfo] objectForKey:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishReasonUserInfoKey];
if ([finishReason intValue] == 0)
{
[self showControls];
}
// Handle other reasons
}
- (void)showControls
{
for(id views in [[[self.playerVC moviePlayer] view] subviews]){
for(id subViews in [views subviews]){
for (id controlView in [subViews subviews]){
[controlView setAlpha:1.0];
[controlView setHidden:NO];
}
}
}
}
till now every thing is working well and the controls were appeared, but when I tap on the screen in order to hide them, the controls disappeared and appeared again quickly (something like flash), then I need to tap again on the view to hide the controls ..
anybody knows why I got this issue ? or has another idea to show the controls when the video is finished ?

Answer 1

First debug and print the subviews of the MPMoviePlayerView and write down the subviews and find the name of the control view.
This is the debugging i got in my app.
Printing description of subViews:
<MPVideoContainerView: 0x7f936950f6e0; frame = (0 0; 375 667); autoresize = W+H; layer = <CALayer: 0x7f936950fa30>>
Printing description of controlView:
<MPVideoPlaybackOverlayView: 0x7f9369659a70; frame = (0 0; 375 667); alpha = 0; hidden = YES; autoresize = W+H; tag = 1004; layer = <CALayer: 0x7f93696c4710>>
Printing description of subViews:
<MPVideoContainerView: 0x7f936950f6e0; frame = (0 0; 375 667); autoresize = W+H; layer = <CALayer: 0x7f936950fa30>>
Printing description of views:
<MPSwipableView: 0x7f9369510290; frame = (0 0; 375 667); autoresize = W+H; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x7f9369510d30>; layer = <CALayer: 0x7f9369510620>>
Then i just checked the name of the control view and removed it form the player. Set it to hidden.
- (void)hideControls
{
for(id views in [[player view] subviews]){
for(id subViews in [views subviews]){
for (id controlView in [subViews subviews]){
if ( [controlView isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(#"MPVideoPlaybackOverlayView")] ) {
[controlView setAlpha:0.0];
[controlView setHidden:YES];
}
}
}
}
}
