How to play m3u8 on Android?

Question

As i understood, Android 3.0 and above are able for play radio streaming m3u8 - http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

I put this link - http://content.mobile-tv.sky.com/content/ssna/live/ssnraudio.m3u8 into MediaPlayer but in LogCat i get:

06-01 09:04:44.287: INFO/LiveSession(33): onConnect 'http://content.mobile-tv.sky.com/content/ssna/live/ssnraudio.m3u8'

06-01 09:04:45.967: INFO/HTTPLiveSource(33): input data EOS reached.

This is my source code:

    mp = new MediaPlayer();        
    start.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub              
            try {

                mp.setDataSource("http://content.mobile-tv.sky.com/content/ssna/live/ssnraudio.m3u8");
                mp.prepare();
                mp.start();

            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } 
        }
    });

    stop.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            try {

                mp.stop(); 
                mp.reset();

            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } 
        }
    });
}

Try ExoMedia, streaming is as easy as:

emVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("https://archive.org/download/Popeye_forPresident/Popeye_forPresident_512kb.mp4"));

I works well with m3u8.
