Exoplayer: Pause/Resume download with HlsDownloader or DashDownloader

[pmunizferreira]

Hi, I'm using exoplayer2.source.hls.offline.HlsDownloader and exoplayer2.source.dash.offline.DashDownloader to download videos that will be played offline later. I do not need an instance of Exoplayer at this time, just Downloader classes.
Are there ways to pause and resume the download?

A simple code to start download (working fine):

 val tempFolder = Util.createTempDirectory(context, "tempFolder");
 val cache = SimpleCache(tempFolder, NoOpCacheEvictor())
 val dataSourceFactory = CacheDataSourceFactory(context, 100 * 1024 * 1024, 5 * 1024 * 1024)

 val hlsDownloader = HlsDownloader(Uri.parse(videoUrl), DownloaderConstructorHelper(cache, dataSourceFactory))

 hlsDownloader.download(object: Downloader.ProgressListener {
    override fun onDownloadProgress(downloader: Downloader?, downloadPercentage: Float, downloadedBytes: Long) {
       ...
    }
  })

I've also tried the exoplayer2.upstream.CacheUtil class, but it also has no way to pause/resume downloads.
Maybe another class should be used to download videos? vov
thanks.

It's recommended to use recently released DownloadManager and DownloadService instead of Downloaders directly. DownloadManager has stopDownloads and startDownloads methods.

For Downloaders: You can interrupt the thread which the downloader or CacheUtil method is running:
thread.interrupt();
then the method will throw an InterruptedException. Next time you call the same method, it will continue from where it left.
