@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    context = getApplicationContext();
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    //change the live streaming URL with yours. 
    contentUri = "http://abclive.abcnews.com/i/abc_live4@136330/index_1200_av-b.m3u8?sd=10&b=1200&rebase=on";
    // contentType = DemoUtil.TYPE_HLS;
    final Intent intent = new Intent(context, VideoPlayerActivity.class).setData(Uri.parse(contentUri))
            .putExtra(VideoPlayerActivity.CONTENT_ID_EXTRA, -1)
            //Change the type according to the live streaming extension.
            .putExtra(VideoPlayerActivity.CONTENT_TYPE_EXTRA, DemoUtil.TYPE_HLS);
    liveStreamingTv =(TextView)findViewById(R.id.mainActivity_liveStreamingTv);
    liveStreamingTv.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });
