BiddingStack Video Player for Android

Play BiddingStack video, either single videos or playlists, in your Android app with the native VideoPlayerView, including ads and fullscreen out of the box.

Requirements

Note: The video player requires an internet connection.

Installation

The SDK is distributed privately while in early access. Contact the BiddingStack team to get the SDK package.

Add the internet permission to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Usage

Add the view to your layout with an explicit height:

<com.biddingstack.videoplayer.VideoPlayerView
    android:id="@+id/videoPlayer"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="220dp" />

Load a video:

val videoPlayer = findViewById<VideoPlayerView>(R.id.videoPlayer)
videoPlayer.load(
    pubId = "YOUR_PUBLISHER_ID",
    videoId = "YOUR_VIDEO_ID",
)

To play a playlist instead of a single video:

videoPlayer.load(
    pubId = "YOUR_PUBLISHER_ID",
    playlistId = "YOUR_PLAYLIST_ID",
)

Release the player when the host is destroyed:

override fun onDestroy() {
    videoPlayer.destroy()
    super.onDestroy()
}

load() Parameters

Video Content

The Video ID and Playlist ID identify content hosted on SyncCMS. A SyncCMS account is required to upload and manage videos and playlists; copy the IDs from the SyncCMS UI.
