HybridMediaPlayer

Android music player from URL. Uses ExoPlayer and MediaPlayer for lower APIs.

Installation

To use the library, first include it your project using Gradle.

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

    allprojects {
        repositories {
            jcenter()
            maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        }
    }

If not enabled already, you also need to turn on Java 8 support in all build.gradle files depending on ExoPlayer, by adding the following to the android section:

compileOptions {
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

Add it as a dependency in your app's build.gradle file:

    dependencies {
        compile 'com.github.mkaflowski:HybridMediaPlayer:${version}' //CHANGE IT TO CURRENT VERSION
    }

How to use

        HybridMediaPlayer mediaPlayer = HybridMediaPlayer.getInstance(context);
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
	mediaPlayer.prepare();
	
	mediaPlayer.setPlayerView(this, playerView);
	
	//it goes to STATE_IDLE on the end of sources in Chromecast 
        mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
        mediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(this);
        mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
        
        mediaPlayer.play();
        mediaPlayer.seekTo(1500);
        mediaPlayer.pause();
	
	mediaPlayer.setVolume(0.5f);
        
        mediaPlayer.release();

Methods for ExoPlayer only

        ExoMediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new ExoMediaPlayer(this)
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url1, url2, url3, ...);
	mediaPlayer.prepare();
	
	//for proper Chromecast handling
	mediaPlayer.setInitialWindowNum(1); // start track number
	mediaPlayer.setDataSource(mediaSourceInfoList);
	mediaPlayer.setCastPlayer(castContext);
	
	mediaPlayer.isCasting()
	
	//setting video view:
	mediaPlayer.setPlayerView(this, playerView);
	
        mediaPlayer.setOnPositionDiscontinuityListener(this);
	mediaPlayer.setOnTracksChangedListener(this);
        
	mediaPlayer.hasVideo();
        mediaPlayer.seekTo(trackNum,time);
	
	mediaPlayer.setSupportingSystemEqualizer(true);
	//FOR EDITING PLAYLIST
	mediaPlayer.getMediaSource();
	
        mediaPlayer.release();

Creating MediaSourceInfo for proper Chromecast handling example

        MediaSourceInfo source1 = new MediaSourceInfo.Builder().setUrl(url)
                .setTitle("Podcast Stream")
                .setImageUrl("https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/20781/screenshots/573506/podcast_logo.jpg")
                .build();
        MediaSourceInfo source2 = new MediaSourceInfo.Builder().setUrl(url3)
                .setTitle("Movie")
                .setImageUrl("http://www.pvhc.net/img29/amkulkkbogfvmihgspru.png")
                .isVideo(true)
                .build();

        List<MediaSourceInfo> sources = new ArrayList<>();
        sources.add(source1);
        sources.add(source2);

        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(sources);
	mediaPlayer.setCastPlayer(castContext);

Register your CastOptionProvider (or default) in manifest file:

   <meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.cast.framework.OPTIONS_PROVIDER_CLASS_NAME"
    android:value="com.google.android.exoplayer2.ext.cast.DefaultCastOptionsProvider" />
