Build a Video Streaming Application in Android

Video players or video streaming from online resources is seen in most applications such as Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube. This application fetches the video file from the server and displays it to the users through a simple video player. In this video, we will be building a simple video streaming application.

In this application, we will be displaying videos from YouTube inside our application. We will get to learn How we can use YouTube Player API to play YouTube videos inside any Android application. Apart from this, we will be using Firebase as a database in which we will be adding all our video-related data such as video title, video description, and others.

We will be using Firebase firestore paging which is used for adding dynamic data inside the recycler view in the Android application. Along with that, we will take a look at using the Picasso image loading library in the Android application. This will be used for loading the video thumbnail inside an Image view using the image thumbnail URL. We will also take a look at using indexing inside the Firebase firestore. The indexing is used for querying a specific set of data through filtering. This index will help us to filter videos based on different categories. We will be using an Android studio as an IDE for building this project and we will be using java as a programming language.

This project will surely help beginner to intermediate level Android developers to brush up and enhance their Android development skills.
