🚀 Big news for Android devs using Jetpack Compose! Media3 just dropped version 1.6.0, and it includes a brand new artifact: media3-ui-compose! Finally, seamless and customizable video playback directly in your Compose apps. 🎬 #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose #Media3
🚀 Media3 1.6.0 is here with a host of new features and improvements!
✅ HLS interstitials
✅ Pre-warming decoders
✅ media3-ui-compose artifact
✅ Effects demo
✅ MediaExtractorCompat

Why this approach? We're giving you the flexibility you need. Instead of a pre-built UI, you get robust, tested state logic. This ensures your custom controls are perfectly synced with playback. Reliability of Media3 + creative freedom of Compose = 🤩

Do you know about the different #JetpackCompose phases? 🤔
Make a t-shirt with me while I explain them 👕 #androiddev
When should you choose a MediaSession over a plain Exoplayer instance for your video or audio use case?
We added a section to the Android documentation with more opinionated best practices. Do you agree with them?

LMK if you're looking for someone like me!
