I’m working on an iOS and Android app that allows the user to stream/play videos.
I would like to create an offline mode that gives the user the ability to play an already-saved video. To do so, I would like the app to save locally the currently played video if the user has a WiFi connection.
To do that, I would need a mechanism to read and save at the same time a video.
Any ideas to do that on iOS or/and Android?
I guess you would have to span two different threads : one to read, and another to save.
And have the ‘read’ method try to get data from cache before downloading it.
on iPhone, possible duplicates :
Play video from cache in iphone programatically
Simultaneously stream and save a video?
The method described in these answers – caching download on disk, and read video from that file – should be the same for Android.
