//Add dependency in manifest file 
    implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.7.3'


// Add exoplayer in your layout(xml) file 
 

    
        
    




// open video with below code

// initialise varible 
 PlayerView videoFullScreenPlayer;
    SimpleExoPlayer player;
    ProgressBar spinnerVideoDetails;


// find Id 
 videoFullScreenPlayer = findViewById(R.id.videoFullScreenPlayer);
