Can anyone guide me through the steps about embeding libvlc in my android app?

This may look like a duplicate question, but all the previous answers were too much confusing for a ameature developer like me. I have never used NDK before and I am working with android studio and windows PC. Previous answers(1,2) and other sources are suggesting to use linux to compile. I couldn't understand what to do. Can anyone guide me through the steps about embeding libvlc in my android app

If you're on Windows 10, you should be able to follow the wiki at https://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile/ using WSL (and google/use the videolan forum for what you don't know).

If you don't want to compile, another way could be to download the apk of the official vlc-android app, unzip it, extract the libs you want (namely libvlcjni.so and probably libjniloader.so) and add it to your project (which means making gradle happy).

vlc-android is a fully opensource app that does exactly what you want to do. Feel free to have a look.

Good luck

If you are having trouble with compiling vlc , then you can use the following library , thou it is unofficial , but I worked with it and it worked fine .

Unofficial VLC Android SDK
