`Step-1` `-` `Connect the player with the session`

overview

Here we prepare the Exoplayer instance
Pass its instance to the MediaSession and create a session instance
There is no need to handle the callbacks using the connector since it is taken care of by the library internally

// Prepare the player instance
player = Exoplayer.Builder(context).build()
// Prepare the media session
mediaSession = MediaSession.Builder(context,player).build()

`Step-2` `-` `Connect MediaController to the MediaSession Service`

overview

In the Activity where we will display the UI, We need to establish the link to the session in the onStart() method.

val sessionToken = SessionToken(/* ... */ PlayerService.class::java)
mediaControllerFuture = MediaController.Builder(context, sessionToken).buildAsync()

`Step-4` `-` `Connect MediaController to UI`

overview

mediaControllerFuture.addListener(
  { playerView.Player = mediaControllerFutureget() }, MoreExecuters.directExecutor()
)
