Storm Android Library installation

In order to use create a player compatible with Storm Streaming Server in an Android application, Storm Library is required. It can be obtained in two ways:

Installation with the Gradle tool (recommended)

1. Create/open your application in Android Studio
2. In file project build.gradle add new repository jitpack.io:

                                   
   implementation 'com.github.StormStreaming:stormlibrary-android:vx.y.z'
   implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-core:2.13.2'
   implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-ui:2.13.2'
                               

   Don't forget to replace x.y.z form the sample with valid major, minor, patch version. The current version can be found at: https://github.com/StormStreaming/stormlibrary-android/releases.
3. In file build.gradle add the following dependency:

                                   
   allprojects {
       repositories {
           …
           maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
       }
   }
                               

4. In file build.gradle configure compileOptions, so the application uses Java 8. Also set multiDexEnabled to true

                                   
   android {
       defaultConfig {
           ...
           minSdkVersion 21
           multiDexEnabled true
       }
       ...
       compileOptions {
           sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
           targetCompatibility = '1.8'
       }
   }
                               

5. In gradle.properties set both android.useAndroidX and android.enableJetifier to true

                                   
   # Project-wide Gradle settings.
   
   android.useAndroidX=true
   android.enableJetifier=true
   
                           

6. Synchronize Gradle

10. In file app build.gradle configure compileOptions, that the application uses Java 8. Also set multiDexEnabled to true.

                                    
    android {

            multiDexEnabled true
        }
        ...
        compileOptions {
            sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
            targetCompatibility = '1.8'
        }
    }
