Editing the MainActivity file

Use this to add the minimum amount of code to enable playback of a single clear stream (identified by a hard-coded string) as soon as the app starts.

Expand app > src > main > java > filename and open the MainActivity file.

1. Add the following imports:

   Java

       import nagra.otv.sdk.OTVSDK;
       import nagra.otv.sdk.OTVVideoView;
   

2. Below the line public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { add:

       static final String  TAG = "MainActivity";
       private OTVVideoView mOTVVideoView = null;
       private int          mPausePos = 0;
       private String       mVideoURI = "https://d3bqrzf9w11pn3.cloudfront.net/basic_dash_bbb_clear/bbb_public.mpd";
   

3. Replace the contents of the onCreate method with the following to set a reference to the video view and load the SDK.

   Java

       @Override
       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         OTVSDK.load(this);
         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
         mOTVVideoView = findViewById(R.id.otvVideoView);
       }
   

   OTVSDK.load(Context context); must be called before accessing any SDK 5 methods as it starts up the libraries. The method needs to be called only once; either at application start-up or before the first use of the SDK.

4. Add the following Android onStart method to set and start the stream.

   Java

   	@Override
   	public void onStart()
   	{
   	super.onStart();
   	mOTVVideoView.setVideoPath(mVideoURI);
   	mOTVVideoView.start();
   	}
   

5. Add the following Android onPause method to save the current position and pause the playback.

   Java

       @Override
       public void onPause()
       {
         super.onPause();
         if(mOTVVideoView != null)
         {
           mPausePos = mOTVVideoView.getCurrentPosition();
           mOTVVideoView.pause();
         }
       }
   

6. Add the following Android onResume method to seek to the paused position and start playback.

   Java

       @Override
       public void onResume()
       {
         super.onResume();
         if(mOTVVideoView != null && mPausePos > 0)
         {
           mOTVVideoView.seekTo(mPausePos);
           mPausePos = 0;
         }
       }
   

Next step: Add a video view element to the layout.
