## Using the extension ##
To play a media item with an ad tag URI, you need to customize the
`DefaultMediaSourceFactory`
as
[
documented in the Developer Guide
](
https://exoplayer.dev/media-sources.html#customizing-media-source-creation
)
.
This way the player will build an
`AdsMediaSource`
and configure it with the
`ImaAdsLoader`
and an
`AdViewProvider`
automatically.
[
Pass an ad tag URI
](
https://exoplayer.dev/media-items.html#ad-insertion
)
from
your ad campaign to the
`MediaItem.Builder`
when building your media item. The
IMA documentation includes some
[
sample ad tags
][]
for testing. Note that the
IMA extension only supports players which are accessed on the application's main
thread.
To use the extension, follow the instructions on the
[
Ad insertion page
](
https://exoplayer.dev//ad-insertion.html#declarative-ad-support
)
of the developer guide, passing an
`AdsLoaderProvider`
that returns an
`ImaAdsLoader`
when configuring the player's
`DefaultMediaSourceFactory`
. Note
that the IMA extension only supports players which are accessed on the
application's main thread.
Resuming the player after entering the background requires some special handling
when playing ads. The player and its media source are released on entering the
background, and are recreated when the player returns to the foreground. When
playing ads it is necessary to persist ad playback state while in the background
by keeping a reference to the
`ImaAdsLoader`
. Reuse this instance when your
callback
`AdsLoaderProvider.getAdsLoader(Uri adTagUri)`
is called by the player
to get an
`ImaAdsLoader`
for the same content/ads to be resumed. It is also
important to persist the player position when entering the background by storing
the value of
`player.getContentPosition()`
. On returning to the foreground, seek
to that position before preparing the new player instance. Finally, it is
important to call
`ImaAdsLoader.release()`
when playback of the content/ads has
finished and will not be resumed.
background, and are recreated when returning to the foreground. When playing ads
it is necessary to persist ad playback state while in the background by keeping
a reference to the
`ImaAdsLoader`
. When re-entering the foreground, pass the
same instance back when
`AdsLoaderProvider.getAdsLoader(Uri adTagUri)`
is called
to restore the state. It is also important to persist the player position when
entering the background by storing the value of
`player.getContentPosition()`
.
On returning to the foreground, seek to that position before preparing the new
player instance. Finally, it is important to call
`ImaAdsLoader.release()`
when
playback has finished and will not be resumed.
You can try the IMA extension in the ExoPlayer demo app, which has test content
in the "IMA sample ad tags" section of the sample chooser. The demo app's
`PlayerActivity`
also shows how to persist the
`ImaAdsLoader`
instance and the
player position when backgrounded during ad playback.
