Limitations

Setting requirements for downloads is currently only possible if you are using the exoPlayerDownload module as your download implementation.

Setting ExoPlayer download requirements

ExoPlayer provides a way to set certain requirements that need to be fulfilled for a download to progress. These can be set by calling setRequirements on the DownloadManager being used. The exoPlayerDownload module keeps a reference to it's DownloadManager in it's context: ExoPlayerDownloadContext.

After the Enigma River Android SDK has been initialized this DownloadManager can be retrieved, and requirements can be set.

public class MyApplication extends Application {
...
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        ...
        // Initialize Enigma River Android SDK
        EnigmaRiverContext.initialize(this, initialization);

        //Set download requirements
        DownloadManager downloadManager = ExoPlayerDownloadContext.getDownloadManager();
    }
...
}

Only download while on wifi networks

By adding the requirement Requirements.NETWORK_UNMETERED we limit downloads to only progress when on unmetered networks such as wifi.

downloadManager.setRequirements(new Requirements(Requirements.NETWORK_UNMETERED));

For more available requirement options, see ExoPlayers documentation.
