Add media playback controls to your app
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
If your app plays back audio and video, you must add UI components for displaying media and controlling playback.
AndroidX Media3 offers a
PlayerView that displays playback
controls, video, subtitles, and album art during playback. To make it work
properly, connect PlayerView to a
Player instance such as
ExoPlayer.
