MediaItemStatus

public final class MediaItemStatus
extends Object

Describes the playback status of a media item.

This class is part of the remote playback protocol described by the MediaControlIntent class.

As a media item is played, it transitions through a sequence of states including: pending, buffering, playing, paused, finished, canceled, invalidated, and error. Refer to the documentation of each state for an explanation of its meaning.

While the item is playing, the playback status may also include progress information about the content position and content duration although not all route destinations will report it.

To monitor playback status, the application should supply a PendingIntent to use as the item status update receiver for a given playback request. Note that the status update receiver will only be invoked for major status changes such as a transition from playing to finished.

The status update receiver will not be invoked for minor progress updates such as changes to playback position or duration. If the application wants to monitor playback progress, then it must use the get status request to poll for changes periodically and estimate the playback position while playing. Note that there may be a significant power impact to polling so the application is advised only to poll when the screen is on and never more than about once every 5 seconds or so.

This object is immutable once created using a MediaItemStatus.Builder instance.
