#Google Media Framework for Android

##Introduction The Google Media Framework (GMF) is a lightweight media player designed to make video playback and integration with the Google Interactive Media Ads (IMA) SDK on Android easier.

The framework is currently in beta, allowing interested developers to try it out and send feedback before we finalize the APIs and features.

##Features

• A customizable video player UI for video playback on Android
  • Logo and branding colors
  • Action buttons within video UI for other actions (ex. share or download)
  • Subtitle support
• Easily integrate the Google IMA SDK to enable advertising on your video content
• Built on top of ExoPlayer
  • Plays MPEG DASH, HLS and mp4, and easily extended to other video formats

##Getting started

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/googleads/google-media-framework-android.git GoogleMediaFramework

Then import the project in Android Studio (or build using Gradle via ./gradlew).

##Documentation

Please see the Javadoc

##Wiki For a detailed description of the project, please see the wiki.

##Where do I report issues? Please report issues on the issues page.

##Support If you have questions about the framework, you can ask them in our google group.

##How do I contribute? See CONTRIBUTING.md for details.

##I want to use a newer version of Exoplayer The Exoplayer library is located in the libs folder of the googlemediaframework module of this project as exoplayer.jar. If you want to update Exoplayer, you need to replace this with a new JAR.

To make a new JAR, please do the following:

1. Clone Exoplayer.

2. Run the ./gradlew jarRelease command in the Exoplayer project.

3. Look in the build folder of the library module, there should be a file called library.jar. Again, this must be done in the Exoplayer project.

Then, rename library.jar to exoplayer.jar and put it into the libs folder of the googlemediaframework module of this project.
