FreeWheel

These samples demonstrate ad insertion with FreeWheel through the Brightcove FreeWheel plugin, including FreeWheel ads combined with Widevine DRM content.

Requirements

• Platform: Android phone and tablet.
• Minimum OS: Android 5.0 (API 21).
• Toolchain: Android Studio, JDK 17, Gradle 8.13.
• Extra SDKs: the FreeWheel AdManager.aar (v6.28.0), which Brightcove does not distribute. Obtain it from FreeWheel and place it in a libs/ folder in your home directory (~/libs/AdManager.aar).

Setup

The samples play from the shared Brightcove demo account (5420904993001) with FreeWheel ad configuration. The build only includes the Java FreeWheel samples when ~/libs/AdManager.aar is present; the Kotlin samples are always included and also require the AAR to build.
