This module provides an HttpDataSource implementation that uses Square's OkHttp.
OkHttp is a modern network stack that's widely used by many popular Android applications. It supports the HTTP and HTTP/2 protocols.
Please note that whilst the code in this repository is licensed under Apache 2.0, using this extension requires depending on OkHttp, which is licensed separately.
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:extension-okhttp:2.X.X'where 2.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the other media
modules being used.
Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.
Media components request data through DataSource instances. These instances
are obtained from instances of DataSource.Factory, which are instantiated and
injected from application code.
If your application only needs to play http(s) content, using the OkHttp
extension is as simple as updating any DataSource.Factory instantiations in
your application code to use OkHttpDataSource.Factory. If your application
also needs to play non-http(s) content such as local files, use:
new DefaultDataSourceFactory(
...
/* baseDataSourceFactory= */ new OkHttpDataSource.Factory(...));
