通过“资产”文件夹中的文件夹使用 ExoPlayer 播放视频

Question

I'm trying to play a video with the use of ExoPlayer API and by using the exoplayer library of version: 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.8.1' . I want to play a video called video.mp4 which is in a folder called folder1 and this folder in inside the folder assets in the res ( res/assets/folder1/video.mp4 ). I cannot get my code to play the video. Please help me.

My MainActivity.java :

package com.example.amandeep.example2;

    MediaSource mediaSource;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

        player_screen = findViewById (R.id.player_screen);
        player_screen.requestFocus();

        TrackSelection.Factory video_track_selection_factory = new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory(band_width_meter);
        track_selector = new DefaultTrackSelector(video_track_selection_factory);
        video_player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this, track_selector);

        player_screen.setPlayer(video_player);
        video_player.setPlayWhenReady(true);

        DataSource.Factory data_source_factory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(this, Util.getUserAgent(this, "Application Name"), new DefaultBandwidthMeter());
        Uri url = Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/folder/video.mp4");
        mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource.Factory(data_source_factory).createMediaSource(url);

        video_player.prepare(mediaSource);
    }
}

My activity_main.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Note: I want to use the Uri.parse method.

IF SOMEONE CANNOT UNDERSTAND MY QUESTION PROPERLY, PLEASE COMMENT BELOW.

IF URI.PARSE METHOD CANNOT USE FILES FROM ASSETS THEN PLEASE TELL ME

Answer 1

This is my code to play audio file, hope it helps you.

    private void prepareExoPlayerFromAssetResourceFile(int current_file) {
    exoPlayer = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this, new DefaultTrackSelector((TrackSelection.Factory) null), new DefaultLoadControl());
    exoPlayer.addListener(eventListener);

    //DataSpec dataSpec = new DataSpec(uri);
    //DataSpec dataSpec = new DataSpec(Uri.parse("asset:///001.mp3"));
    DataSpec dataSpec = new DataSpec(Uri.parse("asset:///" + current_file +".mp3"));
    final AssetDataSource assetDataSource = new AssetDataSource(this);
    try {
        assetDataSource.open(dataSpec);
    } catch (AssetDataSource.AssetDataSourceException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    DataSource.Factory factory = new DataSource.Factory() {
        @Override
        public DataSource createDataSource() {
            //return rawResourceDataSource;
            return assetDataSource;
        }
    };

    MediaSource audioSource = new ExtractorMediaSource(assetDataSource.getUri(),
            factory, new DefaultExtractorsFactory(), null, null);

    exoPlayer.prepare(audioSource);
    initMediaControls();

}

Answer 2

ExoPlayer 2.12 introduces the MediaItem class so you can do:

val firstVideoUri = Uri.parse("asset:///localfile.mp4")
val firstItem = MediaItem.fromUri(firstVideoUri)
player.addMediaItem(firstItem)

Note that the URI should start with asset:/// not assets:///

Answer 3

Try a uri of this format:

file:///android_asset/

For your example that would need to be:

Uri url = Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/folder1/video.mp4");

Answer 4

I'm using similar code for playing video from my assets folder with ExoPlayer and it works good.
But I noticed you mentioned diferent folders in description and code. You are saying the folder in assets is named folder1 but in code you have folder .
So make sure you have correct path to video.

Answer 6

I write this answer because some methods on old answers deprecated:

fun prepareExoPlayerFromAssetResource(
 uri: String = "asset://example.mp3") 
{
  val dataSourceFactory = DataSource.Factory {AssetDataSource(context)}
  val mediaSource = ProgressiveMediaSource
                     .Factory(dataSourceFactory)
                     .createMediaSource(MediaItem.fromUri(Uri.parse(uri)))
        
  exoPlayer.addMediaSource(audioSource)
  exoPlayer.prepare()
  exoPlayer.play()
}

I hope this is useful for someone:)
