Manual Player dismiss

You may want to dismiss the StoryPlayer on your own, without user interaction, for example on a back press event. To help you with that behavior, you have two options.

With StoryPlayer​

The StoryPlayer object exposes:

  • a isVisible property, indicating whether the player is currently displayed or not
  • a dismiss() method, to force the play dismiss.

Example for a back press:

override fun onBackPressed() {
    if (story_player.isVisible) {
        story_player.dismiss()
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed()
    }
}

With JoinStories​

JoinStories object directly exposes a method to dismiss the player:

fun onPause() {
    JoinStories.stopPlayer()
    super.onPause()
}

That method checks if there is an active player, no need to check about it before calling it.
