Integrating VLC or any other third-party video player in Android app

I have an Android app which stream video from the Internet. The owners of the app doesn't want to use the native Android video player. What they want is to have any third-party (preferably Open-source) video player to be integrated in this app.

I don't really know what its implications could be.

I came to know that Dolphin and VLC, they both are open-source, but what I don't know is, if they provide their SDK for integration into an app or not.

So, I have the following questions -

  • Do we have some third-party player (their SDK) to be integrated into an app?
  • Do we have tutorials of how-to implement them?

    I've searched a lot for this but didn't get anything.
