ios - Hide controls in AVPlayerViewController -- only at start -

if set avplayerviewcontroller.showsplaybackcontrols false, controls not show @ all. if tap screen.

i want controls start out hidden, still able summon them tapping. if set mentioned property true, start out visible. (yes fade after few seconds.) there way start hidden, still accessible?

update: ended making own controls better customization. it's more difficult worth time. please read apple's sample code reference. it's implementing pip making custom controls: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/samplecode/avfoundationpipplayer/introduction/intro.html

update: when tapped, avplayerviewcontroller fires touchesbegan event, , not touchesended event. it's enough show controls.

first need hide control. put code right before present avplayerviewcontroller

youravplayerviewcontroller.showsplaybackcontrols = false 

then subclass avplayerviewcontroller , add function:

override func touchesbegan(touches: set<uitouch>, withevent event: uievent?) {      self.showsplaybackcontrols = true      super.touchesbegan(touches, withevent: event) }

old sollution:

i've solved this. main idea put uiview on top of avplayerviewcontroller reveive tap gesture, , hide uiview when no longer needed.

here's code:

import avkit import uikit  // create custom avplayerviewcontroller @available(ios 8.0, *) final class customavplayerviewcontroller: avplayerviewcontroller {      // create uiview put on top of     lazy var topview = uiview(frame: cgrectmake(0, 0, width, height))      override func viewdidload() {         super.viewdidload()          // sure, set clearcolor         // (don't set alpha = 0 because stop receiving user interaction)         topview.backgroundcolor = uicolor.clearcolor()          // add view of avplayerviewcontroller         self.view.addsubview(topview)          // bring front         self.view.bringsubviewtofront(topview)          // add tap gesture recognizer         topview.addgesturerecognizer(uitapgesturerecognizer(target: self, action: "handletap"))     }      // handle tap     func handletap() {          // show control         self.showsplaybackcontrols = true          // hide topview. can unhide when needed later.         self.topview.hidden = true     } } 

and when need hide controls, this:

var avviewcontroller = customavplayerviewcontroller()  ...  // hide controls avviewcontroller.showsplaybackcontrols = false // show topview avviewcontroller.topview.hidden = false
