Steps

1. Create a new Activity, for your player(fullscreen) screen with menu options. Run the mediaplayer and UI in different threads.

2. For playing media - In general to play audio/video there is mediaplayer api in android. FILE_PATH is the path of file - may be url(youtube) stream or local file path

    MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();     mp.setDataSource(FILE_PATH);     mp.prepare();     mp.start();
