• JDK - use the version provided with Android Studio.

Download the Android SDK pack, which supplies all the files needed to launch the player and start streaming content.

  This package contains the application projects which demonstrate how to use the player features.

• opy-sdk-android-5.9.x-example-prm.zip
  This package demonstrates how to work with PRM-encrypted streams.

• opy-sdk-android-5.9.x-example-kotlin.zip
  This package demonstrates how to implement the same features in the Kotlin language.

• opy-sdk-android-5.9.x-sdk-integration.aar
  The SDK binary file used for integration purposes.

• opy-sdk-android-5.9.x-sdk-prm-integration.aar
