Using cache in ExoPlayer

Question

I'm looking for any example of implementing cache in ExoPlayer.

ExoPlayer has in its library different classes concerning cache and Google explain in this video that we can implement it with the CacheDataSource class, but Google doesn't provide any demo on it. Unfortunately this seems pretty complicated to use, so I'm currently looking for examples (no success on Google).

Does anyone succeed or has any info that would help ? Thanks.

I've implemented it like this in the renderer builder

private static final int BUFFER_SEGMENT_SIZE = 64 * 1024;
private static final int BUFFER_SEGMENT_COUNT = 160;

final String userAgent = Util.getUserAgent(mContext, appName);
final DefaultBandwidthMeter bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter();
final Allocator allocator = new DefaultAllocator(BUFFER_SEGMENT_SIZE);*

Cache cache = new SimpleCache(context.getCacheDir(), new LeastRecentlyUsedCacheEvictor(1024 * 1024 * 10));
DataSource dataSource = new DefaultUriDataSource(context, bandwidthMeter, userAgent);
CacheDataSource cacheDataSource = new CacheDataSource(cache, dataSource, false, false);
ExtractorSampleSource sampleSource = new ExtractorSampleSource(uri
                , cacheDataSource
                , allocator
                , BUFFER_SEGMENT_COUNT * BUFFER_SEGMENT_SIZE
                , new Mp4Extractor());
