| <p>Playing videos and music is a popular activity on Android devices. The Android framework |
| provides {@link android.media.MediaPlayer} as a quick solution for playing media with minimal |
| code, and the {@link android.media.MediaCodec} and {@link android.media.MediaExtractor} classes |
| are provided for building custom media players. The open source project, ExoPlayer, is a |
| solution between these two options, providing a pre-built player that you can extend.</p> |
| |
| <p>ExoPlayer supports features not currently provided by {@link android.media.MediaPlayer}, |
| including Dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH), SmoothStreaming and Common Encryption. It's |
| designed to be easy to customize and extend, allowing many components to be replaced with custom |
| implementations. Because ExoPlayer is a library that you include in your application, it can be |
| easily updated along with your app.</p> |

| <strong>Note:</strong> ExoPlayer is an open source project that is not part of the Android |
| framework and is distributed separately from the Android SDK. Visit the links below to find out |
