ExoPlayer OkHttp extension
The OkHttp extension is 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.
License note
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.
Getting the module
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 the ExoPlayer repository and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in ExoPlayer's top level README.
Using the module
ExoPlayer requests 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(...));
