OpenSLMediaPlayer

Re-implementation of Android's MediaPlayer and audio effect classes based on OpenSL ES APIs.

Android Arsenal

Motivation

I decided to develop this library to solve these frustrations.

Features

Advantages

  • Provides both C++ and Java API sets
  • Smooth fade in/out when starts/pauses playback
  • High quality resampler
  • 10 bands graphic equalizer & pre. amplifier
  • High quality Visualizer class (floating point, stereo, 32k samples/capture, 60 sampling/second)

Disadvantages

  • Does not support video playback, audio only ( Please use MediaPlayer or ExoPlayer for video playback)
  • Consumes more CPU resources than standard MediaPlayer and other AudioTrack/OpenSL based audio player products (ex. PowerAmp)

Misc.

  • Highly compatibility with standard MediaPlayer and audio effect classes
  • Implements a lot of workarounds, more better behavior and well-tested (Standard* prefixed API classes)
  • Provides Hybrid media player factory which is a player using OpenSL ES for decoding audio and using AudioTrack for playback. This is the most recommended MediaPlayer because it provides more tolerance for audio glitches than OpenSLMediaPlayer but it can use all features of OpenSLMediaPlayer!
  • Provides some compatibility class or methods for older devices
  • NEON/SSE optimized

Target platforms

  • Android API level 14+ (since this library depends decoding feature introduced from API level 14)

Latest version

  • Version 0.7.5 (May 6, 2017)

Demo application (pre-built example apps)

See GitHub Pages site of this project.

Getting started

Use pre-built library (for Android Studio only)

  1. Add these lines to build.gradle of your project
dependencies {
    compile 'com.h6ah4i.android:openslmediaplayer:0.7.5'
}
  1. That's all ;)
