Set up the MediaPlayer

TVSDK provides tools for creating an advanced video player application (your Primetime player), that you can integrate with other Primetime components. It also provides a number of features designed to maximize the quality of video playback.

Instantiate a MediaPlayer and place a view of it into a frame layout.

1. Instantiate MediaPlayer, passing an android.content.Context object to the constructor:

   MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(context);
   

2. Provide a frame layout ( android.widget.FrameLayout) to hold a ViewGroup of mediaPlayer:

   FrameLayout playerFrame = (FrameLayout) _viewGroup.findViewById(R.id.playerFrame);
   

   Below is the code snippet to create _viewGroup.

   @Override
    public ViewGroup onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
      Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     _viewGroup = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(
       R.layout.fragment_player, container, false);
     return _viewGroup;
    }
   

3. Place a view of mediaPlayer inside the frame layout:

   playerFrame.addView(mediaPlayer.getView());
   

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