This sample shows how to implement a media app that allows playback of video from local storage (assets folder in the APK) or remote sources over HTTP(S).
- It supports playlists, so that multiple videos can be strung together to play one after the other, and skip between them.
- It supports
MediaSessionso that external Bluetooth headphones can control your media (play, pause, skip to next, etc), and see what media is currently playing (like from a car's Bluetooth head unit). - It supports Audio Focus, so that you can respect Android's audio focus system and pause playback if something else is playing.
- It supports picture in picture (PIP) so that the app's video
playback can continue in a minimized window while the user is
in other apps.

ExoPlayer,MediaSession, Audio Focus, and PIP, please read this series of articles on Medium that goes into the details of these APIs.
