# 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.

[OkHttp]: https://square.github.io/okhttp/
## 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.
[Apache 2.0]: https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/blob/release-v2/LICENSE
## Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
```gradle
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(...));
```
