Class LayerManager

com.google.android.libraries.mediaframework.layeredvideo.LayerManager

public class LayerManager
extends java.lang.Object

This is the basis for building a layered video player (i.e. a video player with views overlaid on top of it).

Given a FrameLayout, a Video, and a set of Layer objects, the LayerManager will create an ExoplayerWrapper for the Video object and create each Layer object's view and overlay it on the FrameLayout object.
