Android Play Vimeo Video

Question

I want to play my Vimeo videos and I've followed the steps in https://github.com/vimeo/vimeo-networking-java.

I used this method to get the Video object and then load it into a WebView.

VimeoClient.getInstance().fetchNetworkContent(String uri, ModelCallback callback) 

However, when I logged the result, it seems to indicate that it fails.

Here are my 2 Java files.

MyVimeoApplication.java

import android.app.Application;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.pm.PackageInfo;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.os.Build;
import android.util.Log;

import com.vimeo.networking.Configuration;
import com.vimeo.networking.Vimeo;
import com.vimeo.networking.VimeoClient;

public class MyVimeoApplication extends Application
{
private static final String SCOPE = "private public interact";

private static final boolean IS_DEBUG_BUILD = false;
// Switch to true to see how access token auth works.
private static final boolean ACCESS_TOKEN_PROVIDED = false;
private static Context mContext;

@Override
public void onCreate()
{
    super.onCreate();
    mContext = this;

    Configuration.Builder configBuilder;
    // This check is just as for the example. In practice, you'd use one technique or the other.
    if (ACCESS_TOKEN_PROVIDED)
    {
        configBuilder = getAccessTokenBuilder();
        Log.d("ACCESS_TOKEN", "PROVIDED");
    }
    else
    {
        configBuilder = getClientIdAndClientSecretBuilder();
        Log.d("ACCESS_TOKEN", "NOT PROVIDED");
    }
    if (IS_DEBUG_BUILD) {
        // Disable cert pinning if debugging (so we can intercept packets)
        configBuilder.enableCertPinning(false);
        configBuilder.setLogLevel(Vimeo.LogLevel.VERBOSE);
    }
    VimeoClient.initialize(configBuilder.build());
}

public Configuration.Builder getAccessTokenBuilder() {
    // The values file is left out of git, so you'll have to provide your own access token
    String accessToken = getString(R.string.access_token);
    return new Configuration.Builder(accessToken);
}

public Configuration.Builder getClientIdAndClientSecretBuilder() {
    // The values file is left out of git, so you'll have to provide your own id and secret
    String clientId = getString(R.string.client_id);
    String clientSecret = getString(R.string.client_secret);
    String codeGrantRedirectUri = getString(R.string.deeplink_redirect_scheme) + "://" +
            getString(R.string.deeplink_redirect_host);
    Configuration.Builder configBuilder =
            new Configuration.Builder(clientId, clientSecret, SCOPE, null,
                    null);
//        configBuilder.setCacheDirectory(this.getCacheDir())
//                .setUserAgentString(getUserAgentString(this)).setDebugLogger(new NetworkingLogger())
//                // Used for oauth flow
//                .setCodeGrantRedirectUri(codeGrantRedirectUri);

    return configBuilder;
}

public static Context getAppContext() {
    return mContext;
}

public static String getUserAgentString(Context context) {
    String packageName = context.getPackageName();

    String version = "unknown";
    try {
        PackageInfo pInfo = context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(packageName, 0);
        version = pInfo.versionName;
    } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
        System.out.println("Unable to get packageInfo: " + e.getMessage());
    }

    String deviceManufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER;
    String deviceModel = Build.MODEL;
    String deviceBrand = Build.BRAND;

    String versionString = Build.VERSION.RELEASE;
    String versionSDKString = String.valueOf(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT);

    return packageName + " (" + deviceManufacturer + ", " + deviceModel + ", " + deviceBrand +
            ", " + "Android " + versionString + "/" + versionSDKString + " Version " + version +
            ")";
}
}

}

                    {
                        // html is in the form "<iframe .... ></iframe>"
                        // load the html, for instance, if using a WebView on Android, you can perform the following:

Answer 1

You can achive this by using external library VimeoExtractor. (my example in kotlin) https://github.com/ed-george/AndroidVimeoExtractor

1. Step one.

Add lib to gradle.

2. Step Two - get stream url

private fun initializePlayer() {
    progressBar.visible() //optional show user that video is loading.
    VimeoExtractor.getInstance().fetchVideoWithURL(VIMEO_VIDEO_URL, null, object : OnVimeoExtractionListener {
        override fun onSuccess(video: VimeoVideo) {
            val videoStream = video.streams["720p"] //get 720p or whatever
            videoStream?.let{
                playVideo(videoStream)
            }
        }

        override fun onFailure(throwable: Throwable) {
            Timber.e("Error durning video stream fetch")
        }
    })
}

3. Step three - play when ready

fun playVideo(videoStream: String) {
    runOnUiThread {
        progressBar.gone() //hide progressBar
        videoView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.splash_backgorund)
        videoView.setVideoPath(videoStream)
        videoView.requestFocus()
        videoView.setOnPreparedListener { mp ->
            mp.isLooping = true
            videoView.start()
        }
    }
}
