Handle player state changes and playback events by implementing PlayerStateChangeListener and PlaybackEventListener

To keep track with events and states of Android YouTubePlayer, implement PlayerStateChangeListener and PlaybackEventListener.

Modify from last exercise "Handle initialization error YouTube API Service".

Modify activity_main.xml to add a TextView in layout, to display our log.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="http://android-er.blogspot.com/"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:autoLink="web" />
    
    <ScrollView 
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <LinearLayout 
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
                android:id="@+id/youtubeplayerview"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:padding="5dp" />
            <TextView 
                android:id="@+id/videolog"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
            
        </LinearLayout>
    </ScrollView>
    
</LinearLayout>

Modify MainActivity.java, to implement PlayerStateChangeListener and PlaybackEventListener.

        youTubePlayerView.initialize(API_KEY, this);

        textVideoLog = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.videolog);
        
        myPlayerStateChangeListener = new MyPlayerStateChangeListener();

    }

 @Override

   result.getErrorDialog(this, RQS_ErrorDialog).show(); 
  } else {
   Toast.makeText(this, 
     "YouTubePlayer.onInitializationFailure(): " + result.toString(), 
     Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
  }
 }

 @Override

   boolean wasRestored) {
  
  youTubePlayer = player;
  
  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),

        player.cueVideo(VIDEO_ID);
      }

 }
 
 private final class MyPlayerStateChangeListener implements PlayerStateChangeListener {
  
  private void updateLog(String prompt){
   log +=  "MyPlayerStateChangeListener" + "

   textVideoLog.setText(log);
  };

  @Override
  public void onAdStarted() {
   updateLog("onAdStarted()");
  }

  @Override
  public void onError(
    com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayer.ErrorReason arg0) {
   updateLog("onError(): " + arg0.toString());
  }

  @Override
  public void onLoaded(String arg0) {
   updateLog("onLoaded(): " + arg0);
  }

  @Override
  public void onLoading() {
   updateLog("onLoading()");
  }

  @Override
  public void onVideoEnded() {
   updateLog("onVideoEnded()");
  }

  @Override

 }
 
 private final class MyPlaybackEventListener implements PlaybackEventListener {
  
  private void updateLog(String prompt){
   log +=  "MyPlaybackEventListener" + "

     prompt + "

=====";
   textVideoLog.setText(log);
  };

  @Override
  public void onBuffering(boolean arg0) {
   updateLog("onBuffering(): " + String.valueOf(arg0));
  }

  @Override
  public void onPaused() {
   updateLog("onPaused()");
  }

  @Override
  public void onPlaying() {
   updateLog("onPlaying()");
  }

  @Override
  public void onSeekTo(int arg0) {
   updateLog("onSeekTo(): " + String.valueOf(arg0));
  }

  @Override
  public void onStopped() {
   updateLog("onStopped()");
