Quick Start

Using THEOplayer distribution from public repository

This project is already set up to use THEOplayer from jitpack.io so you need to check it out and build. Below is a short explanation about how to include THEOplayer in the project. For the more comprehensive explanation please refer to THEOplayer documentation.

To use THEOplayer from jitpack.io, you need to include it in the build.gradle file on the project level:

  allprojects {
      repositories {
          ...
          maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
          ...
      }
  }

Then, to use the library, specify the following in the module's level build.gradle file:

  dependencies {
      ...
      // THEOplayer required dependencies.
       implementation 'com.theoplayer.theoplayer-sdk-android:basic-minapi21:4.12.0'
      ...
  }

Using library downloaded from [THEO Portal]

To use THEOplayer from a library downloaded from THEO Portal, follow these steps:

Obtain THEOplayer Android SDK and unzip it.

Please visit THEOplayer documentation to get required THEOplayer Android SDK.
Copy theoplayer-android-[name]-[version]-minapi21-release.aar file from unzipped SDK into application libs folder and rename it to theoplayer.aar.

Project is configured to load SDK with such name, for using other name please change implementation ':theoplayer@aar' dependency in app-level build.gradle file accordingly.
Open THEO Custom UI application in Android Studio.

Android Studio should automatically synchronize and rebuild project. If this won't happen please select File > Sync Project with Gradle Files menu item to do it manually. Please note, that in very rare cases it will be required to synchronize project twice.

Select Run > Run 'app' menu item to run application on a device selected by default.
