| This package is part of the Android[support library](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library)which is no longer maintained. The support library has been superseded by[AndroidX](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx)which is part of[Jetpack](https://developer.android.com/jetpack). We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider[migrating](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate)existing projects to AndroidX.

*** ** * ** ***
A convenience class to access[TvContractCompat.Channels](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/media/tv/TvContractCompat.Channels)entries in the system content provider.
This class makes it easy to insert or retrieve a channel from the system content provider, which is defined in[TvContractCompat](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/media/tv/TvContractCompat).
Usage example when inserting a channel:
```
Channel channel = new Channel.Builder()
.setDisplayName("Channel Name")
.setDescription("Channel description")
.setType(Channels.TYPE_PREVIEW)
// Set more attributes...
.build();
Uri channelUri = getContentResolver().insert(Channels.CONTENT_URI, channel.toContentValues());
```
Usage example when retrieving a channel:
```
Channel channel;
try (Cursor cursor = resolver.query(channelUri, null, null, null, null)) {
if (cursor != null && cursor.getCount() != 0) {
cursor.moveToNext();
channel = Channel.fromCursor(cursor);
}
}
```
Usage example when updating an existing channel:
```
Channel updatedChannel = new Channel.Builder(channel)
.setDescription("New channel description")
.build();
getContentResolver().update(TvContractCompat.buildChannelUri(updatedChannel.getId()),
updatedChannel.toContentValues(), null, null);
```
Usage example when deleting a channel:
```
getContentResolver().delete(
TvContractCompat.buildChannelUri(existingChannel.getId()), null, null);
```
