Compares the contents of this object to another MediaMetadata object. It does not compare Bitmaps and Ratings as the media player can choose to forgo these fields depending on how you retrieve the MediaMetadata.

Parameters
o Object: The Metadata object to compare this object against
Returns
boolean Whether or not the two objects have matching fields (excluding Bitmaps and Ratings)

getBitmap

Returns
Bitmap A Bitmap or null

getBitmapDimensionLimit

Added in API level 31 
public int getBitmapDimensionLimit ()

Gets the width/height limit (in pixels) for the bitmaps when this metadata was created. This method always returns a positive value.

If it returns Integer#MAX_VALUE, then no scaling down was applied to the bitmaps when this metadata was created.

If it returns another positive value, then all the bitmaps in this metadata has width/height not greater than this limit. Bitmaps may have been scaled down according to the limit.

Returns
int Value is 1 or greater

getDescription

getString

Added in API level 21 
public String getString (String key)

Returns the text value associated with the given key as a String, or null if no mapping of the desired type exists for the given key or a null value is explicitly associated with the key. This is equivalent to calling getText().toString() if the value is not null.

Parameters
key String: The key the value is stored under Value is METADATA_KEY_TITLE, METADATA_KEY_ARTIST, METADATA_KEY_ALBUM, METADATA_KEY_AUTHOR, METADATA_KEY_WRITER, METADATA_KEY_COMPOSER, METADATA_KEY_COMPILATION, METADATA_KEY_DATE, METADATA_KEY_GENRE, METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ARTIST, METADATA_KEY_ART_URI, METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ART_URI, METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_TITLE, METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_SUBTITLE, METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_DESCRIPTION, METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_ICON_URI, METADATA_KEY_MEDIA_ID, or METADATA_KEY_MEDIA_URI

key String: The key the value is stored under Value is METADATA_KEY_TITLE, METADATA_KEY_ARTIST, METADATA_KEY_ALBUM, METADATA_KEY_AUTHOR, METADATA_KEY_WRITER, METADATA_KEY_COMPOSER, METADATA_KEY_COMPILATION, METADATA_KEY_DATE, METADATA_KEY_GENRE, METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ARTIST, METADATA_KEY_ART_URI, METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ART_URI, METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_TITLE, METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_SUBTITLE, METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_DESCRIPTION, METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_ICON_URI, METADATA_KEY_MEDIA_ID, or METADATA_KEY_MEDIA_URI
Returns
CharSequence a CharSequence value, or null

hashCode

Added in API level 21 
public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

Returns
int a hash code value for this object.

keySet

Added in API level 21 
public Set<String> keySet ()

Returns a Set containing the Strings used as keys in this metadata.

Returns
Set<String> a Set of String keys

size

Added in API level 21

int The number of fields in the metadata.

writeToParcel

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written. This value cannot be null.
flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
