import com.google.android.exoplayer.*; import android.content.Context; import android.media.MediaCodec; import android.net.Uri; class ExampleExoplayer { ExoPlayer exoPlayer = null; void play(String strUri, Surface surface) { Uri uri = Uri.parse(strUri); final int numRenderers = 2; // Build the sample source SampleSource sampleSource = new FrameworkSampleSource(mContext, uri, /* headers */ null, numRenderers); // Build the track renderers TrackRenderer videoRenderer = new MediaCodecVideoTrackRenderer(sampleSource, MediaCodec.VIDEO_SCALING_MODE_SCALE_TO_FIT); TrackRenderer audioRenderer = new MediaCodecAudioTrackRenderer(sampleSource); // Build the ExoPlayer and start playback exoPlayer = ExoPlayer.Factory.newInstance(numRenderers); exoPlayer.prepare(videoRenderer, audioRenderer); // Pass the surface to the video renderer. exoPlayer.sendMessage(videoRenderer, MediaCodecVideoTrackRenderer.MSG_SET_SURFACE, surface); exoPlayer.setPlayWhenReady(true); } // Don't forget to release when done! void release() { if (exoPlayer != null) { exoPlayer.release(); } } }
