Returns the audio volume, with 0 being silence and 1 being unity gain (signal unchanged).

You should use new version: implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.18.5'

  • Mute volume:
    exoPlayer.volume = 0f
  • Unmute volume value:
    exoPlayer.volume = 1f

The new way to mute and unmute volume as of version 2.X.X done as follows:

int currentvolume = player.getVolume();

make sure to call the line above after starting the player otherwise you will get a nullpointerexception

to mute volume:

player.setVolume(0f);

to unmute volume:

player.setVolume(currentVolume);

Easily you can do it with ExoPlayer:

Java Code:

float currentVolume = player.getVolume();
if (currentVolume == 0f) {
      player.setVolume(1f);
} else {
      player.setVolume(0f);
}

Kotlin Code:

val curentVol = player?.volume
if (curentVol == 0f) {
     player?.volume = 1f
} else {
     player?.volume = 0f
}

In ExoPlayer 2.x.x:

get the current volume:

int currentVolume = player..getAudioComponent().getVolume();

mute:

player.getAudioComponent().setVolume(0f);

unmute:

player.getAudioComponent().setVolume(currentVolume);

Exoplayer 2.x.x

Get the current volume: int currentvolume = player.getVolume();
Mute: player.setVolume(0f);
Unmute: player.setVolume(currentVolume);

Exoplayer 1.x.x

I found two ways to achieve it by editing DemoPlayer from ExoPlayer.

Good one :

Basicly, you need to get the audioTrackRenderer which is a ExoPlayerComponent and send message to it. So :

  1. Add audioRenderer member and set it in onRenderers:

    // Complete preparation.  
this.videoRenderer = renderers[TYPE_VIDEO];  
this.audioRenderer = renderers[TYPE_AUDIO];

  2. Add public method : 

    public void setMute(boolean toMute){
    if(toMute){
        player.sendMessage(audioRenderer, MediaCodecAudioTrackRenderer.MSG_SET_VOLUME, 0f);
    } else {
        player.sendMessage(audioRenderer, MediaCodecAudioTrackRenderer.MSG_SET_VOLUME, 1f);
    }
}

Usage :
mute : player.setMute(true);
unmute : player.setMute(false);

The other one :

This is not a good solution has the player will need to rebuffer when unmuting.
Consist of changing the audio track to an empty one: 

// mute
player.selectTrack(FullPlayer.TYPE_AUDIO, ExoPlayer.TRACK_DISABLED);

// Unmute
player.selectTrack(FullPlayer.TYPE_AUDIO, ExoPlayer.TRACK_DEFAULT);

I will recommend get the current volume first and then mute it. When you will unmute you can give user same volume.

float currentvolume;
currentvolume = player.getVolume();
player.setVolume(0.0f);
