Hello Randal,

We will be fixing the open source Android Studio demo application soon. However that is not where you would find our SDK package. I see here you already have a trial account and you should follow the instructions on our Developer Guide to setup your first project.
https://developer.jwplayer.com/sdk/android/docs/developer-guide/

If you need further assistance please contact us via email at support+sdk@jwplayer.com

If you give support, then we will purchase key and integrate to our application.

Hello Randal,

I’ve tested the open source demo project and it seems to run well for me. Please make sure you are following the readme instructions as you’ll need to clone recursively.
git clone —recursive git@github.com:jwplayer/jwplayer-sdk-android-demo.git

Also for Maven, make sure you add the Maven repository to all projects
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url ‘https://mvn.jwplayer.com/content/repositories/releases/’
}
}
}

Hi George,

And one more thing is we identified in the github sdk as below files are missing

" Select Import .JAR/.AAR Package from the list
Navigate to the JW Player SDK for Android .aar file, select it, and click OK
"

The above steps mentioned files we can't find any where in your sdk. So can you please let me know where we get this files in the androdi sdk in your JWPlayer.

Thanks

HI George,

Can you please let me know, Where we get the license key for this account. I search in the account section i can't find any License key there. So can you please create one dummy License key for us. So we will test our app videos. If it is working fine then we will purchase the custom License key for your web site. First of all we need to test our app using your SDK.

Thanks,

HI George,

We trying the below url . It's successfully build and working fine in the demo. We place our NH1 videos it's playing correct manner. But our project we developed on Eclipse version.

https://github.com/jwplayer/jwplayer-android-best-practice-apps/tree/master/movable-player


So, we try to convert the above project should be library or jar format. But we can't succeed. The jar file is not created.

And our project have multiple library files we are using for different animation things in the app.
We try to convert our existing project to android studio, it's give lot of error's for us. So in the current situation, we can't migrate our whole project to android studio.

So please give the JWPlayer SDK as library or Jar file for us. So we will easily integrate your JWplayer sdk in our project.

Thanks,
Lakshman kumar.M

Hello,

I had received your email and I was expecting a response regarding our video meeting. However, I’m glad you were able to resolve the initial issue.

Unfortunately we must use an .aar file when shipping our SDK since our software is built with additional resource files which a .jar format would not allow.

As mentioned in our developer guide you must use Android Studio with our SDK, as Android Studio can handle the .aar correctly.
https://developer.jwplayer.com/sdk/android/docs/developer-guide/getting-started/library-project-setup/

Eclipse has a hard time with .aar files and we do not officially support Eclipse for this reason.

Please follow up with me via email if you have any further questions.
