❗ Please note this project is deprecated, please see Kaltura Player for Android.
Note: A new version of the Kaltura Player SDK (V3) will be available for beta very soon. The new SDK is fully native and introduces significant performance improvements.
If you are planning to begin a new project based on the SDK, you may want to wait for the new version.
The Kaltura player-sdk-native component enables embedding the kaltura player into native environments. This enables full HTML5 player platform, without limitations of HTML5 video tag API in Android platforms. Currently for Android this enables:
- Inline playback with HTML controls ( disable controls during ads etc. )
- Widevine DRM support
- AutoPlay
- Volume Control
- Full player.kaltura.com feature set for themes and plugins
- HLS Playback
- DFP IMA SDK
For a full list of native embed advantages see native controls table within the player toolkit basic usage guide.
The Kaltura player-sdk-native component can be embedded into both native apps, and hybrid native apps ( via standard dynamic embed syntax )
Future support will include:
- PlayReady DRM
- Multiple stream playback
- Offline viewing
1. git clone https://github.com/kaltura/player-sdk-native-android.git to the same folder of your app.
2. Add reference to PlayerSDK module from your project:
#####Select settings.gradle and add:
include ':googlemediaframework'
project(':googlemediaframework').projectDir=new File('../player-sdk-native-android/googlemediaframework')
include ':playerSDK'
project(':playerSDK').projectDir=new File('../player-sdk-native-android/playerSDK')
#####Right click on your app folder ->Open Module Settings.
#####Select Dependencies tab -> click on the + button and choos the playerSDK module:
Now, you are linked to the playerSDK by reference. Be sure that you cloned the playerSDK to the same folder of your project.
Make sure that you cloned the player-sdk-native-android project to the same folder of your project, if you prefer to clone it else where, you should update the settings.gradle.
###Loading Kaltura player into Fragment - OVP:
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
if(mFragmentView == null) {
mFragmentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_fullscreen, container, false);
}
mPlayerView = (PlayerViewController) mFragmentView.findViewById(R.id.player);
mPlayerView.loadPlayerIntoActivity(getActivity());
KPPlayerConfig config = new KPPlayerConfig("http://cdnapi.kaltura.com", "26698911", "1831271");
config.setEntryId("1_o426d3i4");
mPlayerView.initWithConfiguration(config); mPlayerView.addEventListener(new KPEventListener() {
@Override
public void onKPlayerStateChanged(PlayerViewController playerViewController, KPlayerState state) {
Log.d("KPlayer State Changed", state.toString());
}
@Override
public void onKPlayerPlayheadUpdate(PlayerViewController playerViewController, float currentTime) {
Log.d("KPlayer State Changed", Float.toString(currentTime));

@Override
public void onKPlayerFullScreenToggeled(PlayerViewController playerViewController, boolean isFullscreen) {

###Fetching duration: For fetching the duration of a video, the player must be in READY state:
mPlayerView.addEventListener(new KPEventListener() {
@Override
public void onKPlayerStateChanged(PlayerViewController playerViewController, KPlayerState state) {
Log.d("KPlayer State Changed", state.toString());
if (state == KPlayerState.READY) {
Log.d("Duration", Double.toString(playerViewController.getDurationSec()) );
}
}
@Override
public void onKPlayerPlayheadUpdate(PlayerViewController playerViewController, float currentTime) {
Log.d("KPlayer State Changed", Float.toString(currentTime));
}
@Override
public void onKPlayerFullScreenToggeled(PlayerViewController playerViewController, boolean isFullscreen) {
Log.d("KPlayer toggeled", Boolean.toString(isFullscreen));
}
});
