How to make Video splash

This blog has been contributed to Forum Nokia Wiki at http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_make_Video_splash

In those a few lines you will find a code of how to create easy startup splash screen that can play video files of any format (GIF,AVI,mpg,3gpp,real etc..)

video splash class

package GALAXY.videosplash;

import java.io.*;

import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.media.*;
import javax.microedition.media.control.*;

public class Splash extends Canvas implements PlayerListener, Runnable {
   private Display display;
   private Displayable next;
   private String MIMEtype;
   private Player player;
   private String file;

   public Splash(Display display, Displayable next, String file,
                 String MIMEtype) {

       this.display = display;
       this.next = next;
       this.file = file;
       this.MIMEtype = MIMEtype;
       Thread th = new Thread(this);
       th.start();

   }

   protected void keyPressed(int keyCode) {
       stopPlayer();
       nextScreen();
   }

   protected void paint(Graphics g) {
       int x = g.getClipX();
       int y = g.getClipY();

       int w = g.getClipWidth();
       int h = g.getClipHeight();

       g.setColor(0x0000000);
       g.fillRect(x, y, w, h);


   }

   protected void pointerPressed(int x, int y) {
       stopPlayer();
       nextScreen();
   }

   protected void showNotify() {

   }

   private void nextScreen() {

       this.display.setCurrent(next);
   }

   public void run() {
       try {
           resetplayer();
       } catch (MediaException ex) {
           nextScreen();
       }
       this.play(file);

   }

   public void playerUpdate(Player player, String playerstate, Object object) {
       if (playerstate == PlayerListener.END_OF_MEDIA) {
           try {
               resetplayer();
           } catch (MediaException me) {

           }
           player = null;
           nextScreen();
       }

   }

   private void resetplayer() throws MediaException {
       if (player != null) {
           if (player.getState() == Player.STARTED) {
               player.stop();
           }
           if (player.getState() == Player.PREFETCHED) {
               player.deallocate();
           }
           if (player.getState() == Player.REALIZED ||
               player.getState() == Player.UNREALIZED) {
               player.close();
           }
       }
       player = null;
   }

   private void play(String url) {
       try {
           InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(url);
           VideoControl vc;
           resetplayer();
           // create a player instance

           player = Manager.createPlayer(is, this.MIMEtype);

           player.prefetch();
           player.addPlayerListener(this);
           // realize the player
           player.realize();

           vc = (VideoControl) player.getControl("VideoControl");
           if (vc != null) {

               vc.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO, this);
              vc.setDisplayLocation(((this.getWidth() - vc.getDisplayWidth()) /
                                  2),
                                   (this.getHeight() - vc.getDisplayHeight()) /
                                  2);


               vc.setVisible(true);

               this.setFullScreenMode(true);
           }
           player.prefetch();
           player.start();
           this.display.setCurrent(this);
       } catch (Throwable t) {

           player = null;
           nextScreen();
       }
   }

   private void stopPlayer() {
       try {
           resetplayer();
       } catch (MediaException me) {

       }
       player = null;

   }
}

second ,this is example of launch it form midelt,note that all I have to do i just create & initiate new instance of videosplash class

video splash class

package GALAXY.videosplash;

import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;

public class SplashMIDlet extends MIDlet {
   static SplashMIDlet instance;

   public SplashMIDlet() {
       instance = this;
   }

   public void startApp() {
       Display dispaly = Display.getDisplay(this);


       Splash sp = new Splash(dispaly, new Form("Test"),"/PhotoStory.3gp", "video/3gpp");


   }

   public void pauseApp() {
   }

   public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
   }

   public static void quitApp() {
       instance.destroyApp(true);
       instance.notifyDestroyed();
       instance = null;
   }

}
