# Video cache support for Android [![Android Arsenal](https://img.shields.io/badge/Android%20Arsenal-AndroidVideoCache-brightgreen.svg?style=flat)](http://android-arsenal.com/details/1/1751) ## Why AndroidVideoCache? Because android MediaPlayer doesn't cache video while streaming. ## How to use? Just add link to repository and dependency: ``` repositories { maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/alexeydanilov/maven' } } dependencies { compile 'com.danikula:videocache:1.0.1' } ``` and use proxy for caching video: ```java @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); ... try { Cache cache = new FileCache(new File(getExternalCacheDir(), VIDEO_CACHE_NAME)); HttpUrlSource source = new HttpUrlSource(VIDEO_URL); proxyCache = new HttpProxyCache(source, cache); videoView.setVideoPath(proxyCache.getUrl()); videoView.start(); } catch (ProxyCacheException e) { Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error playing video", e); } } @Override public void onDestroy() { super.onDestroy(); if (proxyCache != null) { proxyCache.shutdown(); } } ``` See `sample` app for details. ## Where published?
