Control content playback (Android v3)

Playback Using TextureView

We give developers the ability to use either TextureView or SurfaceView. However, TextureView should be used only if SurfaceView does not meet your needs. One example is where smooth animations or scrolling of the video surface is required prior to Android N version. In this case, please ensure that SDK_INT is less than 24 (Android N), otherwise use SurfaceView. SurfaceView is a default option and you don't need to make any extra configurations. To use TextureView please see the example below:

// Create a new PlayerConfig using the Builder
PlayerConfig playerConfig = new PlayerConfig.Builder()
     .useTextureView(true)
     .build();

// Load the PlaylistItem into the player
player.load(item);

Playback Rate

float[] playbackRates = new float[] { 0.5f, 1f, 2f };

// To setup custom playback rates
PlayerConfig playerConfig = new PlayerConfig.Builder()
     .playbackRates(PlaybackRateConfig.Factory.createPlaybackRateConfig(playbackRates))
     .build();
        
// To use default playback rates
 PlayerConfig playerConfig = new PlayerConfig.Builder()
     .playbackRates(PlaybackRateConfig.Factory.createPlaybackRateConfig(true))
     .build();
     
getPlayer().setup(playerConfig);
