ExoPlayer2 Sample Project

This repo updated for r2.5.1 version.

You can play videos and musics with ExoPlayer. This demo shows you how to use ExoPlayer. You can play mp3s or radio stream links with RadioActivity.

I wrote a article about ExoPlayer.

I changed playback controls for custom ui demo. If you want to use default controls, you can delete exoplayer layout files. You can find more details under Custom UI heading.

Playing Audio

        player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(getApplicationContext(), trackSelector, loadControl);

        bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter();
        dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(this, Util.getUserAgent(this, "mediaPlayerSample"), (TransferListener<? super DataSource>) bandwidthMeter);
        extractorsFactory = new DefaultExtractorsFactory();
        mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource(Uri.parse(radioUrl), dataSourceFactory, extractorsFactory, null, null);
        player.prepare(mediaSource);

You can play and pause audio with this method setPlayWhenReady(boolean);

play audio

player.setPlayWhenReady(true);

pause audio

player.setPlayWhenReady(false);

Playing Video

We need to SimpleExoPlayerView for playing videos.

        simpleExoPlayerView = (SimpleExoPlayerView) findViewById(R.id.player_view);
        simpleExoPlayerView.requestFocus();

        TrackSelection.Factory videoTrackSelectionFactory =
                new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory(bandwidthMeter);

        trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(videoTrackSelectionFactory);

        player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this, trackSelector);

        simpleExoPlayerView.setPlayer(player);

        player.setPlayWhenReady(shouldAutoPlay);
/*        MediaSource mediaSource = new HlsMediaSource(Uri.parse("https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8"),
                mediaDataSourceFactory, mainHandler, null);*/

        DefaultExtractorsFactory extractorsFactory = new DefaultExtractorsFactory();

        MediaSource mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource(Uri.parse("http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4"),
                mediaDataSourceFactory, extractorsFactory, null, null);

        player.prepare(mediaSource);

If you use hls or dash formats, you need to use HlsMediaSource as a MediaSource.

For hls

MediaSource mediaSource = new HlsMediaSource(Uri.parse("https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8"),
                mediaDataSourceFactory, mainHandler, null);
player.prepare(mediaSource);

For dash

MediaSource mediaSource = new DashMediaSource(uri, buildDataSourceFactory(false),
            new DefaultDashChunkSource.Factory(mediaDataSourceFactory), mainHandler, null);
player.prepare(mediaSource);

If you use mp4, flv, mkv or other formats, you need to use ExtractorMediaSource as a MediaSource. Also we are using the ExtractorMediaSource for playing audio formats.Supported formats; mkv, mp4, mp3, ogg, ac3, flv, wav, flac.

extractorsFactory = new DefaultExtractorsFactory();
MediaSource mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource(Uri.parse("http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4"),
                mediaDataSourceFactory, extractorsFactory, null, null);
player.prepare(mediaSource);

Custom UI

You can build custom players by overriding layout files. You need to create to files in your layout folder. Necessary files are given below. But first we can look how to do it. There it is two layout files enough for the building a custom player. This is an easy and good way for developers.
