UI Customization

These samples show how to customize the Brightcove Player Controls: swap Font Awesome icons, restyle the controller to mirror the Brightcove web player, recolor the seek bar, and add controls such as a rewind button.

Requirements

• Platform: Android phone and tablet.
• Minimum OS: Android 5.0 (API 21).
• Toolchain: Android Studio, JDK 17, Gradle 8.13.
• Extra SDKs: none — the Brightcove Player Controls are part of the core SDK.

Setup

The samples play from the shared Brightcove demo account (5420904993001). Controls are defined in layout XML loaded by resource id, so these samples customize the BrightcoveMediaController through layouts and code rather than data binding.
