------ Work in progress ------

Here is the documentation of the Android port of VLC media player.

Preliminary Notes

VLC for Android is a little different from VLC on desktops. In some ways, you can do more; in other ways, you can do less. VLC for Android only does media playback. Active streaming or file / stream to file conversations are not supported for usability and performance reasons. This walk-through does only include screenshots of a phone interface for size reasons. However, all features are also available on tablets with a similar appearance.

Installation

There are many ways to install VLC on Android, essentially because of your device processor, but you may also want to install it at your way.

From the Play Store

The normal way, but for ARMv7 and x86 processors only. You don't know your processors ? Don't worry, if you can download it, well you have a ARMv7 or x86.
