2. Create view to display video in:
<uk.co.jakelee.vidsta.VidstaPlayer
        android:id="@+id/player"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
3. Configure video source, and other options:
        VidstaPlayer player = (VidstaPlayer) findViewById(R.id.player);
        player.setVideoSource("http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4");
        player.setAutoLoop(true);
        player.setAutoPlay(true);
4. That's it! You're done!

        app:videoSource = "http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4" <!-- Setting a remote video source -->
        app:textColor = "@color/colorPrimary" <!-- Setting colour for duration / progress text -->
        app:playVideoDrawable = "@drawable/custom_video_play" <!-- Setting drawable for play button -->
        app:pauseVideoDrawable = "@drawable/custom_video_pause" <!-- Setting drawable for pause button -->
        app:retryVideoDrawable = "@drawable/custom_video_retry" <!-- Setting drawable for retry button -->
        app:nextVideoDrawable = "@drawable/custom_video_next" <!-- Setting drawable for next button -->
        app:previousVideoDrawable = "@drawable/custom_video_previous" <!-- Setting drawable for previous button -->
        app:buttonTintColor = "@color/colorAccent" <!-- Setting tint colour for above buttons -->
        app:autoPlay = "true" <!-- Enabling autoplay -->

Programmatically:
# Setting video source to a remote video
player.setVideoSource("http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4");

# Enabling fullscreen mode
player.setFullScreen(true);
player.setFullScreenButtonVisible(true);

# Adding coloured tint to text / buttons
player.setTextColor(intent.getIntExtra("textColour", Color.WHITE));
player.setButtonTintColor(intent.getIntExtra("iconTint", Color.WHITE));

# Setting new drawables
player.setPlayButtonDrawable(R.drawable.custom_video_play);
player.setPauseButtonDrawable(R.drawable.custom_video_pause);
player.setRetryButtonDrawable(R.drawable.custom_video_retry);
player.setFullscreenEnterDrawable(R.drawable.custom_video_screen_fullscreen_enter);
player.setFullscreenExitDrawable(R.drawable.custom_video_screen_fullscreen_exit);
player.setPreviousButtonDrawable(R.drawable.custom_video_previous);
player.setNextButtonDrawable(R.drawable.custom_video_next);

# Setting up autoloop & autoplay
player.setAutoLoop(true);
player.setAutoPlay(true);

# Setting up custom listeners for events
player.setOnVideoBufferingListener(new VideoStateListeners.OnVideoBufferingListener());
player.setOnVideoErrorListener(new VideoStateListeners.OnVideoErrorListener());
player.setOnVideoFinishedListener(new VideoStateListeners.OnVideoFinishedListener());
player.setOnVideoPausedListener(new VideoStateListeners.OnVideoPausedListener());
player.setOnVideoRestartListener(new VideoStateListeners.OnVideoRestartListener());
player.setOnVideoStartedListener(new VideoStateListeners.OnVideoStartedListener());
player.setOnVideoStoppedListener(new VideoStateListeners.OnVideoStoppedListener());

# Setting a fullscreen listener. Note that starting a new fullscreen activity must be handled in your application for now
player.setOnFullScreenClickListener(new FullScreenClickListener());
