How to get access to MediaController progressbar?

I currently have a mediacontroller that I am using to control a video in a videoview. I am trying to get access to the seekbar/progressbar and am having no luck. I found somethign on google that I thought would work, and it does in fact seem to return back an object, but when I try to assign my own listener to the click event or even just set the visibility of the seekbar to invisible, it doesnt do anything. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

You need to set the OnClickListener for the MediaController. MediaController has it's own onTouchEvent you can override. It also inherits android.view.View, which has the OnClickListener.

To add the MediaController to your video view call,

myVideoView.setMediaController(myMediaController);

then set an OnClickListener for the media controller:

myMediaController.setOnClickListener (new OnClickListener () {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d("In slider onclick", "WE HAVE LIFT OFF");
}
});

Thanks for the help Jeremiah. I tried what you had suggested and it still isnt working. I hate to paste a lot of code, but I have done so below in hopes that you may see something I am doing incorrectly with my assignment of the media controller or something. From all I have seen online, this should be working and Im wondering if maybe all these issues are due to something I just happened to not grasp in putting this together.

Try implementing MediaPlayerControl, which will let you override the OnTouchEvent for MediaPlayerControl. It is a montionEvent instead of a click event. If you need to get clicks instead of touches, you can use the MotionEvent supplied by the onTouchEvent to tell if the user has touched down, or up and interpret if its a click with that.
