The libVLC is provided by the official VideoLAN project hosted on BinTray. You can directly use the library as a dependency without having to compile it.

add maven url "https://dl.bintray.com/videolan/Android" to your project-level Gradle file as shown below:

allprojects {
 repositories {
      google()
      jcenter()
      maven {
        url "https://maven.google.com";
        }
      maven { url "https://dl.bintray.com/videolan/Android" }
  }
}

and in your app-level Gradle file, add the libVLC dependency

implementation 'org.videolan.android:libvlc-all:'

Get the latest libVLC version from the below official VLC GitHub repository.

find the string "libvlcVersion" to get the latest version.
