Android multimedia framework
• Android support for playing several media types from media file stored inside the
application (raw resources, standalone files) or for OTT streaming.
• Documentation of the media framework is enough just for simple test case.
• Underneath MediaPlayer Framework documentation is kind of nightmare (lot of
events and error are not documented at all).

Supported type
HttpLiveStreaming Protocol 3 is supported by Android 4.0. Best implementation is in Kitkat.
Google seems putting all his efforts to support new media type ( SmoothStreaming, Dynamic adaptive streaming)

Playing a video
VideoView
Three different approaches
Mediaplayer &
SurfaceView
ExoPlayer
Droidcon London – 2014 – Matteo Bonifazi & Alessandro Martellucci
//1. Find the view from the layout VideoView myVideoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.myvideoview); //2. Setup video url myVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(SrcPath)); //3. Setup Video controller myVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); //4. Start playing myVideoView.requestFocus(); myVideoView.start();
android.widget.VideoView
MediaPlayer code example
Programmer doesn’t directly handle the MediaPlayer
Droidcon London – 2014 – Matteo Bonifazi & Alessandro Martellucci
//0. Get SurfaceView and its holder mPreview = (SurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.surfaceView); holder = mPreview.getHolder(); //1. Create MediaPlayer object: mp = new MediaPlayer(); //2. Add SurfaceHolder callback - Aware when SurfaceView is created holder.addCallback(new SurfaceHolder.Callback(){ .... @Override public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) { //3. Attach the surface to the player mp.setDisplay(holder); try { mp.setDataSource(filepath);
//4. Prepare the Mediaplayer in sync or async mode ( prepareAsync() ) mp.prepare(); } catch (Exception e) {// Catch the exception} //5. Start the player mp.start(); }... });
android.media.Mediaplayer &
android.view.SurfaceView
MediaPlayer code example
Application creates SurfaceView and MediaPlayer. More control on MediaPlayer state
Droidcon London – 2014 – Matteo Bonifazi e Alessandro Martellucci
// 1. Instantiate the player. player = ExoPlayer.Factory.newInstance(RENDERER_COUNT); // 2. Construct renderers. MediaCodecVideoTrackRenderer videoRenderer = … MediaCodecAudioTrackRenderer audioRenderer = ... // 3. Inject the renderers through prepare. player.prepare(videoRenderer, audioRenderer); // 4. Pass the surface to the video renderer. player.sendMessage(videoRenderer, MediaCodecVideoTrackRenderer.MSG_SET_SURFACE, surface); // 5. Start playback. player.setPlayWhenReady(true); ... player.release(); // Release when everything is done!
ExoPlayer
MediaPlayer code example
Pre-built player that can be extend. Implement features not currently
supported in the normal mediaplayer.
