*** ** * ** ***

Bass boost is an audio effect to boost or amplify low frequencies of the sound. It is comparable to a simple equalizer but limited to one band amplification in the low frequency range.

An application creates a BassBoost object to instantiate and control a bass boost engine in the audio framework.

The methods, parameter types and units exposed by the BassBoost implementation are directly mapping those defined by the OpenSL ES 1.0.1 Specification (http://www.khronos.org/opensles/) for the SLBassBoostItf interface. Please refer to this specification for more details.

To attach the BassBoost to a particular AudioTrack or MediaPlayer, specify the audio session ID of this AudioTrack or MediaPlayer when constructing the BassBoost.

NOTE: attaching a BassBoost to the global audio output mix by use of session 0 is deprecated.

See `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer#getAudioSessionId()` for details on audio sessions.

See `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect` class for more details on controlling audio effects.

## Public methods

### getProperties

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public BassBoost.Settings getProperties ()
```

Gets the bass boost properties. This method is useful when a snapshot of current bass boost settings must be saved by the application.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiofx/BassBoost.Settings` | a BassBoost.Settings object containing all current parameters values <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
|   | java.lang.IllegalArgumentException |
|   | java.lang.IllegalStateException |
|   | java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException |

### getRoundedStrength

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public short getRoundedStrength ()
```

Gets the current strength of the effect.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `short` | the strength of the effect. The valid range for strength is \[0, 1000\], where 0 per mille designates the mildest effect and 1000 per mille the strongest <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
|   | java.lang.IllegalArgumentException |
|   | java.lang.IllegalStateException |
|   | java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException` |   |

### getStrengthSupported

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public boolean getStrengthSupported ()
```

Indicates whether setting strength is supported. If this method returns false, only one strength is supported and the setStrength() method always rounds to that value.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | true is strength parameter is supported, false otherwise <br /> |

### setParameterListener

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public void setParameterListener (BassBoost.OnParameterChangeListener listener)
```

Registers an OnParameterChangeListener interface.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `listener` | `BassBoost.OnParameterChangeListener`: OnParameterChangeListener interface registered <br /> |

### setProperties

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

Sets the bass boost properties. This method is useful when bass boost settings have to be applied from a previous backup.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `settings` | `BassBoost.Settings`: a BassBoost.Settings object containing the properties to apply <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|

### setStrength

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public void setStrength (short strength)
```

If the implementation does not support per mille accuracy for setting the strength, it is allowed to round the given strength to the nearest supported value. You can use the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiofx/BassBoost#getRoundedStrength()` method to query the (possibly rounded) value that was actually set.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `strength` | `short`: strength of the effect. The valid range for strength strength is \[0, 1000\], where 0 per mille designates the mildest effect and 1000 per mille designates the strongest. <br /> |
