# Brightcove (Android)
This guide walks through integration with Brightcove's Android player to collect video performance metrics with Mux data.
## Features

The following data can be collected by the Mux Data SDK when you use the \{featureDef.name} SDK, as described
        below.

## 1. Install the Mux Data SDK

Brightcove's native SDK for Android has support for both the native `MediaPlayer` as well as `ExoPlayer`. In the case that you utilize `ExoPlayer` (via a class such as `BrightcoveExoPlayerVideoView`), monitoring basic video playback is relatively simple.

# Requirements

* Brightcove SDK for Android 6.x
* ExoPlayer-based Brightcove Player (e.g. `BrightcoveExoPlayerVideoView`)

# Integration Instructions

Brightcove's SDK for Android encapsulates an underlying `SimpleExoPlayer` instance. In order to integrate, you need to create an instance of `MuxStats` for each new video loaded into the player. This is best done by listening for the `didSetVideo` event that the `EventEmitter` emits.

Brightcove's current Android SDK (6.2.x) uses ExoPlayer r2.7.x, so you should include the appropriate AAR file from our releases page and in our [Monitor ExoPlayer guide](/docs/guides/monitor-exoplayer).

Note: `didSetVideo` is used in order to get the updated `Video` in the case that a playlist of `Video` objects, so that you can retrieve the updated metadata.

```java
// MainFragment.java (or MainActivity.java, wherever
// you have access to your `BrightcoveExoPlayerVideoView`

import com.mux.stats.sdk.core.model.CustomerPlayerData;
import com.mux.stats.sdk.core.model.CustomerVideoData;
import com.mux.stats.sdk.muxstats.MuxStatsExoPlayer;

public class MainFragment extends BrightcovePlayerFragment implements EventListener {

  public static final String TAG = MainFragment.class.getSimpleName();
  private MuxStatsExoPlayer muxStatsExoPlayer;

  @Override
  public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View result = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
    baseVideoView = (BrightcoveExoPlayerVideoView) result.findViewById(R.id.brightcove_video_view);
    super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
    baseVideoView.getEventEmitter().on("didSetVideo", this);

    // Set up your videos for playback here
    Video video = Video.createVideo("https://path/to/video.mp4", DeliveryType.HLS);

    baseVideoView.add(video);
    baseVideoView.start();
    return result;
  }

  @Override
  public void processEvent(Event event) {
    ExoPlayerVideoDisplayComponent videoDisplayComponent = (ExoPlayerVideoDisplayComponent) baseVideoView.getVideoDisplay();
    Video video = baseVideoView.getCurrentVideo();
    ExoPlayer exoPlayer = videoDisplayComponent.getExoPlayer();

    CustomerPlayerData customerPlayerData = new CustomerPlayerData();
    CustomerVideoData customerVideoData = new CustomerVideoData();
    customerVideoData.setVideoTitle(video.getId());
    CustomerData customerData = new CustomerData(customerPlayerData, customerVideoData, null)

    if (muxStatsExoPlayer != null) {
      muxStatsExoPlayer.release();
      muxStatsExoPlayer = null;
    }

    muxStatsExoPlayer = new MuxStatsExoPlayer(this, "YOUR_ENV_KEY_HERE", exoPlayer, baseVideoView, customerData);
  }
}
```
