ExoPlayer is not showing play/pause during video playback

I am working on app that will play the videos using ExoPlayer. For some reason when I am trying to pause video player is not showing play/pause icons. I made a custom layout for only play/pause and set it on PlayerView. Playing/pause video with player.playWhenReady = true or player.playWhenReady = true. Can not find a solution anywhere, looks like I missing something but don't know what.

custom_player_controller.xml

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageButton android:id="@id/exo_play"
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:background="#CC000000"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton.Play"/>

    <ImageButton android:id="@id/exo_pause"
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:background="#CC000000"
        style="@style/ExoMediaButton.Pause"/>

</FrameLayout>

I am using ExoPlayer inside RecyclerView, here is layout_item.xml for RecyclerView

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:focusable="true">

    <com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.PlayerView
        android:id="@+id/feed_video_player"
        app:surface_type="texture_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:resize_mode="fixed_width"
        app:controller_layout_id="@layout/custom_player_controller"
        android:paddingBottom="55dp"
        android:background="#000"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Then to play/pause video in RVAdapter I am doing this

setOnTouchListener(object : View.OnTouchListener {
    val gestureDetector: GestureDetector = GestureDetector(context, object:
        GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {

        override fun onSingleTapUp(e: MotionEvent?): Boolean {
            super.onSingleTapUp(e)

            if (!player.playWhenReady) {
                player.playWhenReady = true
            } else {
                player.playWhenReady = false
            }

            return true
        }
    })

    override fun onTouch(p0: View?, p1: MotionEvent?): Boolean {
        gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(p1)
        return true
    }
})

It pauses and plays video as it should, all what I am looking for is just to display pause icon when video is paused. Thanks.

To play and pause in Exo Player you will use it like this.

Exo Player handles the rest.

player.play(); //starts the playing process
player.pause(); //pauses the media.

player.setPlayWhenReady //this is not for play and pause functionality. It is designed for starting the playback when the resource is ready.

Update

Use the following player layout.

    <com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.PlayerView
        android:id="@+id/feed_video_player"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:background="@android:color/black"
        app:controller_layout_id="@layout/custom_player_controller"
        app:resize_mode="fixed_width"
        app:show_timeout="5000"
        android:paddingBottom="55dp"
        android:background="#000"
        app:use_controller="true" />
