Godot OpenXR Android Surface Example (using a Godot Android plugin)

This repository contains a Godot example project showing OpenXR composition layers based on Android surfaces for Godot 4.4+.

It plays a short, looping video clip, using Android's MediaPlayer which should take advantage of hardware video decoding if it's available on the device.

Watch a video of the project running.

This example uses a Godot Android plugin

In order to run custom Kotlin code, this example uses a Godot Android plugin.

So, before you can export it, you need to run:

./gradlew assemble

Using a Godot Android plugin allows you to do anything that's possible in an Android app, using Android's native tools.

However, if you'd like to only use GDScript, please take a look at this alternative example, which may be enough for simple video file playback.
