How to pause ExoPlayer 2 playback and resume (PlayerControl was removed)

In ExoPlayer < 2.x there was a class PlayerControl with pause() and resume() functions but it was removed. I can't find a way to do this on ExoPlayer 2.

How can I pause and resume a playback?

You can use void setPlayWhenReady(boolean playWhenReady).
If Exo is ready, passing false will pause the player. Passing true will resume it. You can check the player's state using getPlaybackState().

play player.setPlayWhenReady(true);

pause

player.setPlayWhenReady(false);

And you can check play state like this:

private boolean isPlaying() {
return player != null
    && player.getPlaybackState() != Player.STATE_ENDED
    && player.getPlaybackState() != Player.STATE_IDLE
    && player.getPlayWhenReady();
}

These codes are from PlayerControlView.

This is my way. Create two methods and call them when needed. 

private void pausePlayer(){
    player.setPlayWhenReady(false);
    player.getPlaybackState();
}
private void startPlayer(){
    player.setPlayWhenReady(true);
    player.getPlaybackState();
}

call them here

 @Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
   pausePlayer();

}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    startPlayer();
}
