- The dev guide has moved to Github, where we can easily maintain it together with the code. - I'd like us to still keep this page on the Android site, to direct developers toward using ExoPlayer. - I have no idea what branch this should be on, but can easily cherry-pick to another one as required.

|
|
<p>Playing videos and music is a popular activity on Android devices. The Android framework
|
|
provides {@link android.media.MediaPlayer} as a quick solution for playing media with minimal
|
|
code, and the {@link android.media.MediaCodec} and {@link android.media.MediaExtractor} classes
|
|
are provided for building custom media players. The open source project, ExoPlayer, is a
|
|
solution between these two options, providing a pre-built player that you can extend.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>ExoPlayer supports features not currently provided by {@link android.media.MediaPlayer},
|
|
including Dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH), SmoothStreaming and Common Encryption. It's
|
|
designed to be easy to customize and extend, allowing many components to be replaced with custom
|
|
implementations. Because ExoPlayer is a library that you include in your application, it can be
|
|
easily updated along with your app.</p>

<strong>Note:</strong> ExoPlayer is an open source project that is not part of the Android
|
|
framework and is distributed separately from the Android SDK. Visit the links below to find out
