ExoPlayer.Builder

public Builder(Context context)

Creates a builder.

Use Builder, Builder or Builder instead, if you intend to provide a custom RenderersFactory, or DefaultMediaSourceFactory. This is to ensure that ProGuard or R8 can remove ExoPlayer's DefaultRenderersFactory, DefaultExtractorsFactory and DefaultMediaSourceFactory from the APK.

The builder uses the following default values:

• RenderersFactory: DefaultRenderersFactory
• TrackSelector: DefaultTrackSelector
• MediaSource.Factory: DefaultMediaSourceFactory
• LoadControl: DefaultLoadControl

• AnalyticsCollector: AnalyticsCollector with DEFAULT
• PriorityTaskManager: null (not used)
• AudioAttributes: DEFAULT, not handling audio focus
• C.WakeMode: WAKE_MODE_NONE
• handleAudioBecomingNoisy: false
• skipSilenceEnabled: false
• C.VideoScalingMode: VIDEO_SCALING_MODE_DEFAULT
• C.VideoChangeFrameRateStrategy: VIDEO_CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_STRATEGY_ONLY_IF_SEAMLESS
• useLazyPreparation: true
• SeekParameters: DEFAULT
• seekBackIncrementMs: DEFAULT_SEEK_BACK_INCREMENT_MS
• seekForwardIncrementMs: DEFAULT_SEEK_FORWARD_INCREMENT_MS
• releaseTimeoutMs: DEFAULT_RELEASE_TIMEOUT_MS
• detachSurfaceTimeoutMs: DEFAULT_DETACH_SURFACE_TIMEOUT_MS
• pauseAtEndOfMediaItems: false
• usePlatformDiagnostics: true

public ExoPlayer build()

Builds an ExoPlayer instance.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder experimentalSetForegroundModeTimeoutMs(long timeoutMs)

Sets a limit on the time a call to setForegroundMode can spend. If a call to setForegroundMode takes more than timeoutMs milliseconds to complete, the player will raise an error via onPlayerError.

This method is experimental, and will be renamed or removed in a future release.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setAnalyticsCollector(AnalyticsCollector analyticsCollector)

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public ExoPlayer.Builder setAudioAttributes(
    AudioAttributes audioAttributes,
    boolean handleAudioFocus
)

Sets AudioAttributes that will be used by the player and whether to handle audio focus.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setLivePlaybackSpeedControl(
    LivePlaybackSpeedControl livePlaybackSpeedControl
)

Sets the LivePlaybackSpeedControl that will control the playback speed when playing live streams, in order to maintain a steady target offset from the live stream edge.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setLoadControl(LoadControl loadControl)

Sets the LoadControl that will be used by the player.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setLooper(Looper looper)

Sets the Looper that must be used for all calls to the player and that is used to call listeners on.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public ExoPlayer.Builder setMediaSourceFactory(MediaSource.Factory mediaSourceFactory)

Sets the MediaSource.Factory that will be used by the player.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setPauseAtEndOfMediaItems(boolean pauseAtEndOfMediaItems)

Sets whether to pause playback at the end of each media item.

This means the player will pause at the end of each window in the current timeline. Listeners will be informed by a call to onPlayWhenReadyChanged with the reason PLAY_WHEN_READY_CHANGE_REASON_END_OF_MEDIA_ITEM when this happens.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setPlaybackLooper(Looper playbackLooper)

Sets the Looper that will be used for playback.

The backing thread should run with priority THREAD_PRIORITY_AUDIO and should handle messages within 10ms.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setPriorityTaskManager(
    @Nullable PriorityTaskManager priorityTaskManager
)

Sets an PriorityTaskManager that will be used by the player.

The priority PRIORITY_PLAYBACK will be set while the player is loading.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setReleaseTimeoutMs(long releaseTimeoutMs)

Sets a timeout for calls to release and setForegroundMode.

If a call to release or setForegroundMode takes more than timeoutMs to complete, the player will report an error via onPlayerError.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setRenderersFactory(RenderersFactory renderersFactory)

Sets the RenderersFactory that will be used by the player.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setSeekBackIncrementMs(@IntRange(from = 1) long seekBackIncrementMs)

Sets the seekBack increment.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setSeekForwardIncrementMs(@IntRange(from = 1) long seekForwardIncrementMs)

Sets the seekForward increment.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setSeekParameters(SeekParameters seekParameters)

Sets the parameters that control how seek operations are performed.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setSkipSilenceEnabled(boolean skipSilenceEnabled)

Sets whether silences silences in the audio stream is enabled.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setSuppressPlaybackOnUnsuitableOutput(
    boolean suppressPlaybackOnUnsuitableOutput
)

Sets whether the player should suppress playback that is attempted on an unsuitable output. An example of an unsuitable audio output is the built-in speaker on a Wear OS device (unless it is explicitly selected by the user).

If called with suppressPlaybackOnUnsuitableOutput = true, then a playback attempt on an unsuitable audio output will result in calls to onPlaybackSuppressionReasonChanged with the value PLAYBACK_SUPPRESSION_REASON_UNSUITABLE_AUDIO_OUTPUT.

Callers of this may also want to enable setHandleAudioBecomingNoisy to prevent playback from continuing on the built-in speaker when a headset is disconnected.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setTrackSelector(TrackSelector trackSelector)

Sets the TrackSelector that will be used by the player.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setUseLazyPreparation(boolean useLazyPreparation)

Sets whether media sources should be initialized lazily.

If false, all initial preparation steps (e.g., manifest loads) happen immediately. If true, these initial preparations are triggered only when the player starts buffering the media.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setUsePlatformDiagnostics(boolean usePlatformDiagnostics)

Sets whether the player reports diagnostics data to the Android platform.

If enabled, the player will use the android.media.metrics.MediaMetricsManager to create a android.media.metrics.PlaybackSession and forward playback events and performance data to this session. This helps to provide system performance and debugging information for media playback on the device. This data may also be collected by Google if sharing usage and diagnostics data is enabled by the user of the device.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setVideoChangeFrameRateStrategy(
    @C.VideoChangeFrameRateStrategy int videoChangeFrameRateStrategy
)

Sets a C.VideoChangeFrameRateStrategy that will be used by the player when provided with a video output Surface.

The strategy only applies if a MediaCodec-based video Renderer is enabled. Applications wishing to use CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_ALWAYS should set the mode to VIDEO_CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_STRATEGY_OFF to disable calls to setFrameRate from ExoPlayer, and should then call setFrameRate directly from application code.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public ExoPlayer.Builder setVideoScalingMode(@C.VideoScalingMode int videoScalingMode)

Sets the C.VideoScalingMode that will be used by the player.

The scaling mode only applies if a MediaCodec-based video Renderer is enabled and if the output surface is owned by a SurfaceView.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public ExoPlayer.Builder setWakeMode(@C.WakeMode int wakeMode)

Sets the C.WakeMode that will be used by the player.

Enabling this feature requires the WAKE_LOCK permission. It should be used together with a foreground android.app.Service for use cases where playback occurs and the screen is off (e.g. background audio playback). It is not useful when the screen will be kept on during playback (e.g. foreground video playback).

When enabled, the locks (android.os.PowerManager.WakeLock / ) will be held whenever the player is in the STATE_READY or STATE_BUFFERING states with playWhenReady = true. The locks held depend on the specified C.WakeMode.
