Worked on the android/compose-samples repository to deliver a podcast audio playback feature, integrating ExoPlayer with Media3 UI Compose components for a seamless user experience. Extended the Episode model to support media URLs, enabling direct streaming within the app. Developed end-to-end playback controls, including play, pause, and seek functionality, and ensured these controls were fully integrated into the PlayerScreen using Jetpack Compose and Kotlin. Implemented lifecycle-aware playback handling and media session integration to maintain smooth operation across app state changes. This work established a scalable foundation for podcast playback and enhanced the app’s media capabilities for future development.
