Lumen^®Mesh Delivery for Streaming: Android & Android TV

Mesh Delivery can be integrated with your Android app to deliver video content using Mesh Delivery Android SDK or plugin, which can be used to build an application for Android smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, STBs, consoles, etc.

Step 1: Integrate

First steps? Our plugins make the integration simple

The Mesh Delivery plugin for ExoPlayer is an Android archive Maven artifact that automatically pulls the right version of the SDK, the right version of ExoPlayer, and also embeds all the required classes. By using Mesh Delivery via the plugin, you can avoid unwanted integration issues since it automatically binds them all together, thus reducing the boilerplate and guaranteeing an up-to-date and compatible integration.

Power user? Integrate our SDK instead for more control

Instead of our plugin, you can directly integrate the Mesh Delivery SDK, which is player agnostic and gives you more control over the integration. You can use Mesh Delivery with any player but you need to embed and connect several classes together to make it work.

Step 2: Validate

Now that you have a working integration. learn how you can verify and validate that indeed Mesh Delivery is working, and also how well it is working.
