Media3Player-Android(V1.3.0) MediaMelon SDK with Google IMA
This procedure describes the MediaMelon SDK(with Google IMA) Integration with a Media3 Android . This is a sample integration done with the sample application from the Google IMA.
The below steps describe the procedure to integrate the MediaMelon SDK into the application.
Note - Only the code written inside the <MediaMelon Integration> tag is to be added for MediaMelon-specific integration, the rest of the code above and below the <MediaMelon Integration> tag is shown just to give a context, as shown below:-
private void initPlayer() { // this is the function that creates/initialises the EXO player
release();
simpleExoPlayer = new SimpleExoPlayer.Builder(context).build();
playerView.setPlayer(simpleExoPlayer);
.
.
//<MediaMelon Integration>
ContentMetadata cm = new ContentMetadata();
cm.videoId="VIDEO_ID";
cm.seriesTitle="TITLE";
cm.season="SEASON";
cm.genre="GENRE";
cm.episodeNumber="EPISODE_NUMBER";
cm.drmProtection="DRM_PROTECTION";
cm.contentType="CONTENT_TYPE";
cm.assetName="ASSET_NAME";
cm.assetId="ASSET_ID";
cm.videoType = "VIDEO_TYPE";
JSONObject ContentMetadataAsJSON = cm.getJSONObject();
boolean isLive = false; //Set this to true for a live stream or to false for a VoD stream
MMSmartStreamingExo2.getInstance().initializeSession(simpleExoPlayer, MMQBRMode.QBRModeDisabled, streamUrl, ContentMetadataAsJSON, isLive); //isLive is an optional field here
MMSmartStreamingExo2.getInstance().reportCustomMetadata("key","value"); //(optional) add custom tags
MMSmartStreamingExo2.getInstance().reportUserInitiatedPlayback();
//<MediaMelon Integration>
};
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
.
.
//<MediaMelon Integration>
Log.d("SmartStreamingIntgr", MMSmartStreamingExo2.getVersion());
MMSmartStreamingExo2.enableLogTrace(true); //set to "false" before releasing player to production
if (MMSmartStreamingExo2.getRegistrationStatus() == false){ //Check if it is the first time Registration process is done
MMSmartStreamingExo2.registerMMSmartStreaming("PLAYER_NAME", "CUSTOMER_ID", "SUBSCRIBER_ID", "DOMAIN_NAME", "SUBSCRIBER_TYPE", "SUBSCRIBER_TAG");
MMSmartStreamingExo2.reportPlayerInfo("PLAYER_BRAND", "PLAYER_MODEL", "PLAYER_VERSION");
MMSmartStreamingExo2.getInstance().setContext(getApplicationContext()); //Please make sure to provide the application's context here, and not the activity's context
}
//<MediaMelon Integration>
.

}

//<MediaMelon Integration>
MMAnalyticsBridge analyticsBridgeObject; // Declaration of Analytics Bridge object, wherever the IMA AdsLoader and IMA StreamManager are declared in your application
//<MediaMelon Integration>
private void createAdsLoader() { // this functions creates the Google IMA DAI ads loader (which is preferably a singleton - only one ads loader for the entire lifecyle)
ImaSdkSettings settings = sdkFactory.createImaSdkSettings();
//<MediaMelon Integration>
analyticsBridgeObject = MMSmartStreamingExo2.getInstance().getAnalyticsBridge(); // get the Analytics Bridge Object ,this should be done wherever in your application the Google IMA adsLoader is created
//<MediaMelon Integration>

adsLoader = sdkFactory.createAdsLoader(context, settings, displayContainer);
}
public void requestAndPlayAds() {
.
.
//<MediaMelon Integration>
adsLoader.addAdErrorListener(analyticsBridgeObject); // pass the Analytics Bridge object to the ads error listeners

Step 4: AD Event callbacks from the SDK.
A list of all Google IMA DAI AD events can be found here.
@Override
public void onAdEvent(AdEvent event) { // this is a callback which gets called whenever a AD event occurs
switch (event.getType()) {
// Access all ad events here , this method will be automatically called whenever an ad event occurs
case AD_PROGRESS:
// write your own logic inside each case
break;
case FIRST_QUARTILE:
// write your own logic inside each case
break;
case MIDPOINT:
// write your own logic inside each case
break;
case THIRD_QUARTILE:
// write your own logic inside each case
break;
case COMPLETED:
// write your own logic inside each case
break;
default:
log(String.format("Event: %s\n", event.getType()));
break;
}
