I have a basic Android app nearly finished which will be used for Android TV devices (For example: Nexus Player from Google by ASUS).
PLEASE RESPOND EXPLAINING: if you have developed for Android TV before and whether you have worked with VAST ads before. Please send me examples to Android apps you have completed.
CURRENT APP:
The apps uses the default Leanback theme for Android TV apps. It's not much different then the default version. I changed some colors and added in XML feeds for the content. This is all the client requires. I do not need anything fancier.
The main page is a grid with rows of posters. When you click a poster it takes you to single videos with detailed info. Then you click "PLAY VIDEO" and the video starts playing. Look up "Building Applications for Android TV" online to see example screen shots of this basic theme in action.
WHAT I NEED:
I need to add VAST advertisement support to the app. I have an array list containing times in seconds when the video needs to stop and play ads. For example: 500, 800, 1000, 1200. So the video would stop at 500 seconds and play the ad. I have logic completed that monitors the playing time. Once the video hits the first ad, it stops the video, then should query the VAST advertisement URL, play an ad, and then return to the video after the ad is done.
REQUIREMENT:
The app uses VideoView's and MUST continue to do so. I do not want you to re-build anything. I just want the VAST ads to play and then restart the video.
PROCESS:
Similar to how normal TV works.
1) Video starts playing
2) Once the video hits the first ad, it stops the video, plays an ad, and then restarts the video after the ad is done.
3) The video keeps playing until the next ad time hits.
4) Repeat this process until the video ends.
I have to start on another project so I don't have the time to get the VAST piece working right now.
This app needs to meet all requirements for Android TV. [login to view URL]
Once you are finished, you will zip up the app and send it back over to me.
Thanks!
