ExoPlayer SurfaceControl demo
This app demonstrates how to use the SurfaceControl API to redirect video
output from ExoPlayer between different views or off-screen. SurfaceControl
is new in Android 10, so the app requires minSdkVersion 29.
The app layout has a grid of SurfaceViews. Initially video is output to one
of the views. Tap a SurfaceView to move video output to it. You can also tap
the buttons at the top of the activity to move video output off-screen, to a
full-screen SurfaceView or to a new activity.
When using SurfaceControl, the MediaCodec always has the same surface
attached to it, which can be freely 'reparented' to any SurfaceView (or
off-screen) without any interruptions to playback. This works better than
calling MediaCodec.setOutputSurface to change the output surface of the codec
because MediaCodec does not re-render its last frame when that method is
called, and because you can move output off-screen easily (setOutputSurface
can't take a null surface, so the player has to use a DummySurface, which
doesn't handle protected output on all devices).
Please see the demos README for instructions on how to build and run this demo.
