tonihei b8ec05aea1 Handle gzip in DefaultHttpDataSource.
Setting the requested encoding in all cases ensures we receive the relevant
response headers indicating whether gzip was used. Doing that allows to
detect the content length in cases where gzip was requested, but the server
replied with uncompressed content.

ExoPlayer Cronet extension

The Cronet extension is an HttpDataSource implementation using Cronet.

Getting the extension

The easiest way to use the extension is to add it as a gradle dependency:

implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:extension-cronet:2.X.X'

where 2.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the ExoPlayer library being used.

Alternatively, you can clone the ExoPlayer repository and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in ExoPlayer's top level README.

Using the extension

ExoPlayer requests data through DataSource instances. These instances are either instantiated and injected from application code, or obtained from instances of DataSource.Factory that are instantiated and injected from application code.

If your application only needs to play http(s) content, using the Cronet extension is as simple as updating any DataSources and DataSource.Factory instantiations in your application code to use CronetDataSource and CronetDataSourceFactory respectively. If your application also needs to play non-http(s) content such as local files, use

new DefaultDataSource(
    ...
    new CronetDataSource(...) /* baseDataSource argument */);

and

new DefaultDataSourceFactory(
    ...
    new CronetDataSourceFactory(...) /* baseDataSourceFactory argument */);

respectively.
