Android - ExoPlayer2 subtitles

Question

How to set subtitles on ExoPlayer2? I have tried this tu bild MergingMediaSource:

    SingleSampleMediaSource singleSampleSource = new SingleSampleMediaSource(Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard/Download/a.vtt")), mediaDataSourceFactory,
        Format.createTextSampleFormat(null, MimeTypes.TEXT_VTT, null, Format.NO_VALUE, C.SELECTION_FLAG_DEFAULT, "se", null, 0),
        50000 //in us
         );
return new MergingMediaSource(new ExtractorMediaSource(uri, mediaDataSourceFactory, new DefaultExtractorsFactory(),
        mainHandler, eventLogger), singleSampleSource);

but I got this error:

                                                         java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to get length of null array

Answer 1

Format textFormat = Format.createTextSampleFormat(null, MimeTypes.APPLICATION_SUBRIP,
                            null, Format.NO_VALUE, Format.NO_VALUE, "ar", null);

MediaSource subtitleSource = new SingleSampleMediaSource("link srt url",
                                    mediaDataSourceFactory, textFormat, C.TIME_UNSET);

MergingMediaSource mergedSource = new MergingMediaSource(mediaSource, subtitleSource);

That's because a bug in your Exoplayer version in class SourceLoadable, you can fix it changing this line:

private byte[] sampleData;

to

private byte[] sampleData = new byte[INITIAL_SAMPLE_SIZE];

Or using Exoplayer latest version.
