androidvideocache's Introduction

Video cache support for Android

Why AndroidVideoCache?

Because android MediaPlayer doesn't cache video while streaming.

How to use?

Just add link to repository and dependency:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/alexeydanilov/maven' }
}
dependencies {
    compile 'com.danikula:videocache:1.0.1'
}

and use proxy for caching video:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    ...
    try {
        Cache cache = new FileCache(new File(getExternalCacheDir(), VIDEO_CACHE_NAME));
        HttpUrlSource source = new HttpUrlSource(VIDEO_URL);
        proxyCache = new HttpProxyCache(source, cache);
        videoView.setVideoPath(proxyCache.getUrl());
        videoView.start();
    } catch (ProxyCacheException e) {
        Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error playing video", e);
    }
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();

    if (proxyCache != null) {
        proxyCache.shutdown();
    }
}

See sample app for details.
