ExoPlayer OkHttp extension

Description

The OkHttp extension is an HttpDataSource implementation using Square's OkHttp.

Getting the extension

The easiest way to use the extension is to add it as a gradle dependency:

compile 'com.google.android.exoplayer:extension-okhttp:rX.X.X'

where rX.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the ExoPlayer library 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 extension

ExoPlayer requests data through DataSource instances. These instances are either instantiated and injected from application code, or obtained from instances of DataSource.Factory that 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 DataSources and DataSource.Factory instantiations in your application code to use OkHttpDataSource and OkHttpDataSourceFactory respectively. If your application also needs to play non-http(s) content such as local files, use

new DefaultDataSource(
    ...
    new OkHttpDataSource(...) /* baseDataSource argument */);

and

new DefaultDataSourceFactory(
    ...
    new OkHttpDataSourceFactory(...) /* baseDataSourceFactory argument */);

respectively.
