Adding to your project

To start using this library, add these lines to the build.gradle of your project:

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.novoda:no-player:<latest-version>'
}

From no-player 4.5.0 this is also needed in the android section of your build.gradle

compileOptions {
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

Simple usage

Create a Player:

Player player = new PlayerBuilder()
  .withPriority(PlayerType.EXO_PLAYER)
  .withWidevineModularStreamingDrm(drmHandler)
  .build(this);

Create the PlayerView:

<com.novoda.noplayer.NoPlayerView
  android:id="@+id/player_view"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_gravity="center" />

Attach to a PlayerView:

PlayerView playerView = findViewById(R.id.player_view);
player.attach(playerView);

Play some content:

player.getListeners().addPreparedListener(playerState -> player.play());

Uri uri = Uri.parse(mpdUrl);
player.loadVideo(uri, ContentType.DASH);

Snapshots

Snapshot builds from develop are automatically deployed to a repository that is not synced with JCenter. To consume a snapshot build add an additional maven repo as follows:

repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://dl.bintray.com/novoda-oss/snapshots/'
    }
}

You can find the latest snapshot version following this link.
