TvContentRating

public final class TvContentRating
extends Object

A class representing a TV content rating. When a TV input service inserts the content rating information on a program into the database, this class can be used to generate the formatted string for TvContract.Programs.COLUMN_CONTENT_RATING. To create a TvContentRating object, use the TvContentRating.createRating method with valid rating system string constants.

It is possible for an application to define its own content rating system by supplying a content rating system definition XML resource (see example below) and declaring a broadcast receiver that filters TvInputManager#ACTION_QUERY_CONTENT_RATING_SYSTEMS in its manifest.

Example: Rating system definition for the TV Parental Guidelines

System defined rating strings

For example, to create an object that represents TV-PG rating with suggestive dialogue and coarse language from the TV Parental Guidelines in the United States, one can use the following code snippet:

 TvContentRating rating = TvContentRating.createRating(
         "com.android.tv",
         "US_TV",
         "US_TV_PG",
         "US_TV_D", "US_TV_L");
 

System defined string for domains

System defined strings for rating systems

System defined strings for ratings

System defined strings for sub-ratings
