AndroidX Media3 migration guide

I'm currently in the process of migrating from ExoPlayer (com.google.android.exoplayer2 version 2.19.1) to Media3 (1.1.1) in my Android app. I've followed the migration instructions provided in the official Android documentation.

I've made the necessary code and dependency changes, but I'm encountering an error when inflating the androidx.media3.ui.PlayerView in my XML layout. Specifically, I'm getting the following error:

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #16 in 
com.xxx.xx:layout/mpeg_player: Binary XML file line #16 in 
com.xxxx.xx:layout/mpeg_player: Error inflating class 
androidx.media3.ui.PlayerView

and further

Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML 
file line #78 in com.xxx.xx:layout/exo_player_control_view: 
Binary XML file line #78 in com.xxx.xx:layout/exo_player_control_view:

                                                                                                Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #78 in com.xxx.xxx:layout/exo_player_control_view: Error inflating class com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.DefaultTimeBar
                                                                                                    Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.DefaultTimeBar
                                                                                                   

here is my xml

<androidx.media3.ui.PlayerView
        android:id="@+id/video_view"
        app:show_buffering="always"
        app:show_subtitle_button="true"
        android:focusable="false"
        app:use_controller="true"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

and added all dependencies

implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer:1.1.1'
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer-dash:1.1.1'
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-ui:1.1.1'
implementation "androidx.media3:media3-session:1.1.1"

also added this to my build.gradle

 compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this issue and successfully migrate to Media3. Thank you!

Looks like you still using com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.DefaultTimeBar in one of your layouts.

So, can you try to update the DefaultTimeBar to androidx.media3.ui.DefaultTimeBar in your layout.
