Getting Started

To integrate ExoPlayer into your Android project, follow these steps:

  1. Add the library to your project dependencies:

     implementation("androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer:1.2.1")
 implementation("androidx.media3:media3-ui:1.2.1")
 implementation("androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer-dash:1.2.1")implementation 'com.github.PriyaSindkar:CustomExoPlayer:1.0.0'

  2. Use just one call to build an entire customizable player

VideoPlayer(
                context = LocalContext.current,
                modifier = Modifier
                    .fillMaxSize(),
                videoUrl = videoPlayerUiState.extractedVideoUrl,
                lastPaused = lastPaused,
                returnToHomeScreen = returnToHomeScreen,  // go back
                showSurvey = showSurvey
            )
  1. Build media item from URL
val mediaItem = remember(videoUrl) {
        MediaItem.Builder()
            .setUri(videoUrl)
            .setMimeType(MimeTypes.APPLICATION_MP4)
            .build()
    }

    val player = remember(context) {
        ExoPlayer.Builder(context)
            .build()
    }.apply {
        setMediaItem(mediaItem)
        prepare()
        playWhenReady = true
    }

Work in progress

  • Manage orientation changes while playing the video
