why I can't stream an audio stored in dropbox using Android Exoplayer?
I can use an exoplayer like this
lateinit var player : SimpleExoPlayer!
val mediaItem = MediaItem.fromUri("https://www.soundhelix.com/examples/mp3/SoundHelix-Song-1.mp3")
player = SimpleExoPlayer.Builder(mContext).build()
player.setMediaItem(mediaItem)
playerView.player = player
I can stream the audio without any use if I use the code above.
but if I want to use an audio file that have in dropbox, the sound will never play, the code and link is like this
val mediaItem = MediaItem.fromUri("https://www.dropbox.com/s/lbe1kod9t6yuh5j/sample1.m4a")
how to solve this ?

You're not pointing media file but a preview page (i.e. HTML)! One alternative is download link:
val mediaItem = MediaItem.fromUri("https://www.dropbox.com/s/lbe1kod9t6yuh5j/sample1.m4a?dl=1")Or might be better raw shared link:
val mediaItem = MediaItem.fromUri("https://www.dropbox.com/s/lbe1kod9t6yuh5j/sample1.m4a?raw=1")Good luck!
