Integrating the Spotify Android library

Question

So I wanted to integrate the spotify library into an android app. I went to https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/libspotify/ and downloaded their lib libspotify-12.1.5

Answer 1

Spotify have published a SDK BETA version for android.

https://github.com/spotify/android-sdk

They have a few examples of initializing a player and playing a track using TRACK_CHANGE event (Only available from Beta10). Here is one that doesn't use TRACK_CHANGE:

           mPlayer = Spotify.getPlayer(playerConfig, this, new Player.InitializationObserver() {
            @Override
            public void onInitialized(Player player) {
                mPlayer.addConnectionStateCallback(MainActivity.this);
                mPlayer.addPlayerNotificationCallback(MainActivity.this);
                mPlayer.play("spotify:track:2TpxZ7JUBn3uw46aR7qd6V");
            }

            @Override
            public void onError(Throwable throwable) {
                Log.e("MainActivity", "Could not initialize player: " + throwable.getMessage());
            }
        });
