## V2.4.0

**Fixes for callback**

VLPlayer has three new method implementations.

- public void setProgressBarSize(int width, int height)
- public void setProgressBarIcon(Drawable drawable)
- public void hideError()

Notes

1. ‘setProgressBarIcon’ method will set the icon but it won’t animate. If you need to add animation with an icon , We have given an example of animation/drawable in a demo application.  
If you just need to change the progress bar icon color there in another method in sdk ‘setIconColor’
2. To disable/activate the viewlift controller on the VLPlayerView class, there is already a method provided ‘’setUseController(boolean useController)’.
3. ‘videoFinished’ callback method will be called only when the stream is finished. Closing the player won’t trigger this event.

### Release notes for Android PIP support implementation

VLPlayer has two new method implementations.

- public void setActivityInstance(AppCompatActivity activityInstance)
- public void pipClick()

You need to setActivity instance before calling pipClick otherwise it will throw exception ’IllegalStateException’

Callback method to be implemented in activity or fragment is

-public void onPictureInPictureModeChanged(boolean isInPictureInPictureMode, Configuration newConfig)

isInPictureInPictureMode value will tell you if activity has entered in PIP or exited the PIP mode.

True -> Activity entered in PIP False -> Activity exited from PIP.

**Note**: Pip works above Android 8.0 (API level 26)
