ExoPlayer initialize player deprecated

Question

I'm currently working with the latest ExoPlayer update and I'm getting calls that it is deprecated, could someone help me?

private fun initializePlayer () {

    if (simpleExoPlayer == null) {
        val trackSelector = DefaultTrackSelector(this)
        val loadControl = DefaultLoadControl()
        simpleExoPlayer = E̶x̶o̶P̶l̶a̶y̶e̶r̶F̶a̶c̶t̶o̶r̶y̶.̶n̶e̶w̶S̶i̶m̶p̶l̶e̶I̶n̶s̶t̶a̶n̶c̶e̶(this, trackSelector, loadControl)
    }
}

the docs just say you should use ``SimpleExoPlayer.Builder`` or ``ExoPlayer.Builder`` instead of that Factory: https://exoplayer.dev/doc/reference/com/google/android/exoplayer2/ExoPlayerFactory.html — cactustictacs, Aug 23 '20 at 01:07

Setting Up Exoplayer version(2.11.8) :
Sep 2020 Update:

//Setting Up Exoplayer
private void SetupPlayer(){
        SimpleExoPlayer simpleExoPlayer;
// Create a data source factory.
        dataSourceFactory =
                new DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory(Util.getUserAgent(this
                        , getApplicationInfo().loadLabel(getPackageManager()).toString()));
// Passing Load Control
        loadControl = new DefaultLoadControl.Builder()
                .setBufferDurationsMs(25000, 50000, 1500, 2000).createDefaultLoadControl();

        @DefaultRenderersFactory.ExtensionRendererMode int extensionRendererMode = DefaultRenderersFactory.EXTENSION_RENDERER_MODE_PREFER;

        renderersFactory = new DefaultRenderersFactory(this) .setExtensionRendererMode(extensionRendererMode);

// Create a progressive media source pointing to a stream uri.
         mediaSource = new ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory)
                .createMediaSource(Uri.parse(url_to_stream));
// Create a player instance.
        simpleExoPlayer =  new SimpleExoPlayer.Builder(this,renderersFactory).setLoadControl(loadControl).build();
// Prepare the player with the media source.
        simpleExoPlayer.prepare(mediaSource, true, true);
}

any further information on this? please add source also for read full source . Thanks — Bhavin Patel, Sep 18 '20 at 05:29

It's worked. You should use this version:

implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.18.2'

exoPlayer = ExoPlayer.Builder(this).build()
        exoPlayer?.playWhenReady = true
        binding.playerView.player = exoPlayer
        val defaultHttpDataSourceFactory = DefaultHttpDataSource.Factory()
        val mediaItem =
            MediaItem.fromUri(URL)
        val mediaSource =
            HlsMediaSource.Factory(defaultHttpDataSourceFactory).createMediaSource(mediaItem)
        exoPlayer?.setMediaSource(mediaSource)
        exoPlayer?.seekTo(playbackPosition)
        exoPlayer?.playWhenReady = playWhenReady
        exoPlayer?.prepare()
