Set up the MediaPlayer

The MediaPlayer interface for Android encapsulates the functionality and behavior of a media player.

TVSDK provides one implementation of the MediaPlayer interface, the DefaultMediaPlayer class. When you need video playback functionality, instantiate DefaultMediaPlayer.

1. Instantiate a MediaPlayer using the public DefaultMediaPlayer.create factory method, passing a Java Android application context object.

   public static MediaPlayer create(Context context)
   
   

2. Call MediaPlayer.getView to get a reference to the MediaPlayerView instance.

   MediaPlayerView getView() throws IllegalStateException;
   
   

3. Place the MediaPlayerView instance in a FrameLayout instance, which places the video on the device’s screen.

   FrameLayout playerFrame = (FrameLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.playerFrame);
   playerFrame.addView(mediaPlayer.getView());
   
   

The MediaPlayer instance is now available and properly configured to display video content on the device screen.
