## What it is
ExoMedia is an Android library that wraps ExoPlayer to simplify audio and video playback with straightforward APIs. It provides a drop-in VideoView-like widget and simple functions/callbacks that minimize the configuration ExoPlayer normally requires.

## Use cases
- play video in an android app without complex exoplayer setup
- simplify audio playback on android
- replace android videoview with a better media player
- add a video player widget to an android layout
- stream mp4 media in an android app
- wrap exoplayer with simple callbacks

## When to choose
- you want simple audio/video playback on Android with minimal configuration
- you like the standard Android VideoView API but need ExoPlayer's format support
- you need quick setup and are okay trading some ExoPlayer customizability

## When to avoid
- you need deep ExoPlayer customization or advanced playback features
- you are not building an Android app
- you want a full-featured media player UI out of the box
