To support Google Assistant media apps need to support the action ACTION_SET_RATING. Before this change developers have to use a QueueEditor for this which does not have any other mandatory actions required for Assistant. With this change developers can implement the rating action with the PlaybackPreparer which they need to implement anyway to support Assistant. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media-apps/interacting-with-assistant.html#transport_controls ------------- Created by MOE: https://github.com/google/moe MOE_MIGRATED_REVID=188056722
ExoPlayer MediaSession extension
The MediaSession extension mediates between a Player (or ExoPlayer) instance and a MediaSession. It automatically retrieves and implements playback actions and syncs the player state with the state of the media session. The behaviour can be extended to support other playback and custom actions.
Getting the extension
The easiest way to use the extension is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:extension-mediasession: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.
