Installing the sample apps

Currently, all of the sample app projects must be installed together as a bundle. Individual sample app projects also have specific dependencies. For those specific dependencies, see the individual project descriptions above for details.

To install the sample apps into Android Studio, please make sure you have the latest version. You can obtain and install the latest version from: Android Studio After Android Studio is installed, please follow the following steps:

From Android Studio using VCS installation:

  1. Select the Checkout From Version Control option in the new project dialog,
  2. Pick the GITHUB menu entry
  3. Use https://github.com/BrightcoveOS/android-player-samples.git for the URL
  4. Click on SUBMIT and use default values on subsequent screens.

From Android Studio using Import

  1. Clone this repo to your file system.
  2. In the File menu, select the Import Project... option in the new project dialog,
  3. Using the file selector dialog, select the top level build.gradle file from the cloned repo on your system,
  4. Click on OK and use default values on subsequent screens.

Android Studio will now download, import and build all of the sample apps. At this point the samples will be in your instance of Android Studio where you can observe the snippets in action on a physical or virtual device, walk through the code using the Android Studio debugger, search on keywords or just browse Android source code.

Overriding the default build behavior

By default, the sample apps will build with the most recent Brightcove Android Native Player version at build time. To override this behavior with a specific version, create a file named .gradle/gradle.properties in your home directory and set the value of the property anpVersion to the desired version. An invalid version will cause no sample app projects to be configured.

Building with Gradle on the command line

These sample apps now build with the latest released version of Gradle, 7.4.1. Please note that when building these apps from the command line, that the Gradle daemon is started, and will continue to run after the build completes.

To stop the daemon after the build completes, run the following: ./gradlew --stop

Running a sample app

  1. To run a sample app on an Android 5.0 or later device, plug the device into the computer and ensure that USB debugging is enabled.
  2. Select a sample app from the Run/Debug Configuration selector and click on the run (green button) icon to start the sample.
