It seems that there are several instances where deprecated examples are used, the developer guide seems the best place to see how it should be done now.

The way to create a MediaSource is also deprecated. This is the example from the developer guide:

// Produces DataSource instances through which media data is loaded.
DataSource.Factory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(context,
    Util.getUserAgent(context, "applicationName"));
// This is the MediaSource representing the media to be played.
MediaSource videoSource = new ExtractorMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory)
    .createMediaSource(mp4VideoUri);
// Prepare the player with the source.
player.prepare(videoSource);
