How to run azure media player on android

I have a requirement to integrate azure media player in an android app.

All I can see in the documentation is sample and information on how to add this in an HTML file.

I have a "...mainfest" file, and I need to play it from the android app.

I need to know if there is any SDK available for android, or do i need to host a page on server, which can play these videos?

Edited

I checked sample player here, when I pass my video URL to it, it loads video fine with or without "(format=m3u8-aapl-v3)"

But I am still unable to play it from android app.

I also tried to create an HTML page, but its also not playing the video.

This is what I did in HTML file.

<head>
</head>
<body>

   <video id="vid1" autoplay controls width="640" height="400" >
        <source src=".....ism/manifest(format=m3u8-aapl-v3)" />     
    </video>
</body>

  • UPDATE

    If you want play it in HTML, I recommend you use official sample code, like below.

    For more details, you can refer to the code.

    You can concatenate (format=m3u8-aapl-v3) at the end of the URL, can play this url with any video player.
