libVLC for Android

DEPRECATED

This project has been deprecated as now there is an official LibVLC compiled artifact from VideoLAN.

To use it, go to https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/-/tags and find the latest release. Then, add this line to your project dependencies:

implementation 'org.videolan.android:libvlc-all:{THE-TAG-NAME}'

---

Unofficial ready-to-use compiled version of libVLC for Android. Just add this library to your project dependencies.

Usage

Add this in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        [...]
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Then, add the following in your module build.gradle in dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.josemmo:libvlc-android:X.X.X'
}

NOTE: Replace X.X.X with the latest release version name.

Optionally, add this to build multiple APKs filtering by architecture:

splits {
    abi {
        enable true
        include "x86", "x86_64", "armeabi-v7a", "arm64-v8a"
    }
}
def abiCodes = ['x86':5, 'x86_64':8, 'armeabi-v7a':4, 'arm64-v8a':7]
applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    variant.outputs.each { output ->
        def abiName = output.getFilter(OutputFile.ABI)
        output.outputFileName = "MyApp-${variant.versionName}-${abiName}.apk"
        output.versionCodeOverride = defaultConfig.versionCode*10000000 + abiCodes.get(abiName, 0)
    }
}
