MidiDevice

public final class MidiDevice
extends Object implements Closeable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.media.midi.MidiDevice


This class is used for sending and receiving data to and from a MIDI device Instances of this class are created by MidiManager#openDevice.

Summary

Nested classes

class MidiDevice.MidiConnection

This class represents a connection between the output port of one device and the input port of another. 

Public methods

void close()

Closes this stream and releases any system resources associated with it.

MidiDevice.MidiConnection connectPorts(MidiInputPort inputPort, int outputPortNumber)

Connects the supplied MidiInputPort to the output port of this device with the specified port number.

MidiDeviceInfo getInfo()

Returns a MidiDeviceInfo object, which describes this device.

MidiInputPort openInputPort(int portNumber)

Called to open a MidiInputPort for the specified port number.

MidiOutputPort openOutputPort(int portNumber)

Called to open a MidiOutputPort for the specified port number.

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Protected methods

void finalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

Inherited methods

Public methods

close

Added in API level 23
public void close ()

Closes this stream and releases any system resources associated with it. If the stream is already closed then invoking this method has no effect.

As noted in AutoCloseable#close(), cases where the close may fail require careful attention. It is strongly advised to relinquish the underlying resources and to internally mark the Closeable as closed, prior to throwing the IOException.

Throws
IOException

connectPorts

Added in API level 23
public MidiDevice.MidiConnection connectPorts (MidiInputPort inputPort, 
                int outputPortNumber)

Connects the supplied MidiInputPort to the output port of this device with the specified port number. Once the connection is made, the MidiInput port instance can no longer receive data via its MidiReceiver#onSend method. This method returns a MidiDevice.MidiConnection object, which can be used to close the connection.

Parameters
inputPort MidiInputPort: the inputPort to connect

outputPortNumber int: the port number of the output port to connect inputPort to.

Returns
MidiDevice.MidiConnection MidiDevice.MidiConnection object if the connection is successful, or null in case of failure.

getInfo

Added in API level 23
public MidiDeviceInfo getInfo ()

Returns a MidiDeviceInfo object, which describes this device.

Returns
MidiDeviceInfo the MidiDeviceInfo object

openInputPort

Added in API level 23
public MidiInputPort openInputPort (int portNumber)

Called to open a MidiInputPort for the specified port number. An input port can only be used by one sender at a time. Opening an input port will fail if another application has already opened it for use. A MidiDeviceStatus can be used to determine if an input port is already open.

Parameters
portNumber int: the number of the input port to open

Returns
MidiInputPort the MidiInputPort if the open is successful, or null in case of failure.

openOutputPort

Added in API level 23
public MidiOutputPort openOutputPort (int portNumber)

Called to open a MidiOutputPort for the specified port number. An output port may be opened by multiple applications.

Parameters
portNumber int: the number of the output port to open

Returns
MidiOutputPort the MidiOutputPort if the open is successful, or null in case of failure.

toString

Added in API level 23
public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

Protected methods

finalize

Added in API level 23
protected void finalize ()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the Java virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Throws
Throwable
