Hi Roja,

This is Hyunjoo from the Android Support Team. How are you?

Our library uses Exoplayer2 v2.6.1, I see that you are trying to override the version to 2.7.2 which is probably causing the dex issues.

  1. I’ve created a sample project that worked for me while using your given build.gradle(app), the changes I made are below, but if you would also like the demo of the app, please click on this link and download the zipped file, build the app, add your license key and then run the app.
  2. I was unable to fix the JUnit test problem, but I was able to override the library version. If it’s okay with you, I would recommend using the current version, V 2.6.1.

Changes are below:

build.gradle(Project: 281-multidex)


// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
	repositories {
		jcenter()
		google()
	}
	dependencies {
		classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
		// in the individual module build.gradle files
	}
}

allprojects {
	repositories {
		jcenter()
		google()
		maven {
            url 'https://mvn.jwplayer.com/content/repositories/releases/https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/'
        }
		maven {
			url 'https://mvn.jwplayer.com/content/repositories/releases/'
		}
	}
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
	delete rootProject.buildDir
}

build.gradle(Module:app)

	compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'

    defaultConfig {

import android.content.Context;

import android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication;
import android.util.Log;
import com.longtailvideo.jwplayer.cast.CastManager;

import java.io.IOException;
public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication {

    private static final String MEASURE_TAG = "JWMeasure";

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        Log.i(MEASURE_TAG, "" + Time.currentTime() + " MyApplication onCreate: start");

        // Initialize the CastManager.
        // The CastManager must be initialized in the Application's context to prevent
        // issues with garbage collection.
        CastManager.initialize(this);
    }
    @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this);
    }
}

Please let me know if that helped!

Hi Hyunjoo Kim, the above solution is working and build is successful. But when I am using SimpleExoPlayerView of exoplayer for playing encrypted video in my activity, app is crashing and throwing error/exception. Below is my code:

Hi Roja,

Did you call your activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn’t find class “com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.R$layout”
on path: DexPathList[[zip file “/data/app/com.aadhan.videos-1/base.apk”…

This error, I see here, SimpleExoPlayerView is a deprecated class, please see here: https://google.github.io/ExoPlayer/doc/reference/com/google/android/exoplayer2/ui/SimpleExoPlayerView.html

OK, but for using PlayerView, I need to import 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.7.2'
But when im importing it again throwing below error:

Hi Roja,

I’ve noticed you’ve put

implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.7.2'

in your build.grade(Module:app), that is unnecessary because you’ve already forced it here:


                configurations.all {
                   resolutionStrategy {
                      force "com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.7.2"
                  }
                }

This is also unnecessary:


                repositories {
                        mavenCentral()
                }

You are getting the maven repo from build.gradle(Project:281-multidex)


                allprojects {
                    repositories {
                          jcenter()
		          google()
		          maven {
			          url 'https://mvn.jwplayer.com/content/repositories/releases/'
		           }
		           maven {
			           url 'https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/'
                            }
		           maven {
			           url 'https://mvn.jwplayer.com/content/repositories/releases/'
		            }
                     }
                }

Can you try going to gradle.properties and uncomment (remove the “#”):


#org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
to
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
