SessionPlayer

public abstract class SessionPlayer
extends Object implements AutoCloseable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ androidx.media2.common.SessionPlayer

Base interface for all media players that want media session.

APIs that return ListenableFuture should be the asynchronous calls and shouldn't block the calling thread. This guarantees the APIs are safe to be called on the main thread.

Topics covered here are:

  1. Best practices
  2. Player states
  3. Invalid method calls

Best practices

Here are best practices when implementing/using SessionPlayer:
  • When updating UI, you should respond to SessionPlayer.PlayerCallback invocations instead of SessionPlayer.PlayerResult objects since the player can be controlled by others.
  • When a SessionPlayer object is no longer being used, call AutoCloseable.close() as soon as possible to release the resources used by the internal player engine associated with the SessionPlayer. For example, if a player uses hardware decoder, other player instances may fallback to software decoders or fail to play. You cannot use SessionPlayer instance after you call AutoCloseable.close(). There is no way to reuse the instance.
  • The current playback position can be retrieved with a call to getCurrentPosition(), which is helpful for applications such as a music player that need to keep track of the playback progress.
  • The playback position can be adjusted with a call to seekTo(long). Although the asynchronous seekTo(long) call returns right away, the actual seek operation may take a while to finish, especially for audio/video being streamed.
  • You can call seekTo(long) from the PLAYER_STATE_PAUSED. In these cases, if you are playing a video stream and the requested position is valid, one video frame may be displayed.

Player states

The playback control of audio/video files is managed as a state machine. The SessionPlayer defines four states:
  1. PLAYER_STATE_IDLE: Initial state after the instantiation.

    While in this state, you should call setMediaItem(MediaItem) or setPlaylist(List, MediaMetadata). Check returned ListenableFuture for potential error.

    Calling prepare() transfers this object to PLAYER_STATE_PAUSED.

  2. PLAYER_STATE_PAUSED: State when the audio/video playback is paused.

    Call play() to resume or start playback from the position where it paused.

  3. PLAYER_STATE_PLAYING: State when the player plays the media item.

    In this state, SessionPlayer.PlayerCallback.onBufferingStateChanged(SessionPlayer, MediaItem, int) will be called regularly to tell the buffering status.

    Playback state would remain PLAYER_STATE_PLAYING when the currently playing media item is changed.

    When the playback reaches the end of stream, the behavior depends on repeat mode, set by setRepeatMode(int). If the repeat mode was set to REPEAT_MODE_NONE, the player will transfer to the PLAYER_STATE_PAUSED. Otherwise, the SessionPlayer object remains in the PLAYER_STATE_PLAYING and playback will be ongoing.

  4. PLAYER_STATE_ERROR: State when the playback failed and player cannot be recovered by itself.

    In general, playback might fail due to various reasons such as unsupported audio/video format, poorly interleaved audio/video, resolution too high, streaming timeout, and others. In addition, due to programming errors, a playback control operation might be performed from an invalid state. In these cases the player may transition to this state.

Subclasses may have extra methods to reset the player state to PLAYER_STATE_IDLE from other states. Take a look at documentations of specific subclass that you're interested in.

Invalid method calls

The only method you safely call from the PLAYER_STATE_ERROR is AutoCloseable.close(). Any other methods might return meaningless data.

Subclasses of the SessionPlayer may have extra methods that are safe to be called in the error state and/or provide a method to recover from the error state. Take a look at documentations of specific subclass that you're interested in.

Most methods can be called from any non-Error state. In case they're called in invalid state, the implementation should ignore and would return SessionPlayer.PlayerResult with SessionPlayer.PlayerResult.RESULT_ERROR_INVALID_STATE. The following table lists the methods that aren't guaranteed to successfully running if they're called from the associated invalid states.

Method Name Invalid States
setAudioAttributes {Paused, Playing}
prepare {Paused, Playing}
play {Idle}
pause {Idle}
seekTo {Idle}

Removes the media item from the playlist

The implementation may not change the currently playing media item even when it's removed.

The implementation must notify registered callbacks with SessionPlayer.PlayerCallback.onPlaylistChanged(SessionPlayer, List, MediaMetadata) when it's completed.

On success, a SessionPlayer.PlayerResult should be returned with item removed.

Parameters
index int: the index of the item you want to remove in the playlist
Returns

On success, a SessionPlayer.PlayerResult should be returned with item set.

Parameters
index int: the index of the item to replace in the playlist
item MediaItem: the new item
Returns
ListenableFuture<SessionPlayer.PlayerResult>

seekTo

public abstract ListenableFuture<SessionPlayer.PlayerResult> seekTo (long position)

Seeks to the specified position. Moves the playback head to the specified position.

On success, a SessionPlayer.PlayerResult should be returned with the current media item when the command completed.

Parameters
attributes AudioAttributesCompat: non-null AudioAttributes.

Returns
ListenableFuture<SessionPlayer.PlayerResult>

setMediaItem

public abstract ListenableFuture<SessionPlayer.PlayerResult> setMediaItem (MediaItem item)

Sets a MediaItem for playback. Use this or setPlaylist(List, MediaMetadata) to specify which items to play. If you want to change current item in the playlist, use one of skipToPlaylistItem(int), skipToNextPlaylistItem(), or skipToPreviousPlaylistItem() instead of this method.

This can be called multiple times in any states other than PLAYER_STATE_ERROR. This would override previous setMediaItem(MediaItem) or setPlaylist(List, MediaMetadata) calls.

It's recommended to fill MediaMetadata in MediaItem especially for the duration information with the key MediaMetadata.METADATA_KEY_DURATION. Without the duration information in the metadata, session will do extra work to get the duration and send it to the controller.

The implementation must notify registered callbacks with SessionPlayer.PlayerCallback.onPlaylistChanged(SessionPlayer, List, MediaMetadata) and SessionPlayer.PlayerCallback.onCurrentMediaItemChanged(SessionPlayer, MediaItem) when it's completed. The current item would be the item given here.

The implementation must close the ParcelFileDescriptor in the FileMediaItem if the given media item is a FileMediaItem.

On success, a SessionPlayer.PlayerResult should be returned with item set.

Parameters
item MediaItem: the descriptor of media item you want to play
Returns
ListenableFuture<SessionPlayer.PlayerResult> a ListenableFuture which represents the pending completion of the command.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the given item is null.

setPlaybackSpeed

public abstract ListenableFuture<SessionPlayer.PlayerResult> setPlaybackSpeed (float playbackSpeed)

Sets the playback speed. 1.0f is the default, negative values indicate reverse playback and 0.0f is not allowed.

The supported playback speed range depends on the underlying player implementation, so it is recommended to query the actual speed of the player via getPlaybackSpeed() after the operation completes. In particular, please note that player implementations may not support reverse playback.

On success, a SessionPlayer.PlayerResult should be returned with the current media item when the command completed.

Parameters
playbackSpeed float: The requested playback speed.
Returns
ListenableFuture<SessionPlayer.PlayerResult> A ListenableFuture representing the pending completion of the command.

setPlaylist

public abstract ListenableFuture<SessionPlayer.PlayerResult> setPlaylist (List<MediaItem> list, 
                MediaMetadata metadata)

Sets a list of MediaItem with metadata. Use this or setMediaItem(MediaItem) to specify which items to play.

This can be called multiple times in any states other than PLAYER_STATE_ERROR. This would override previous setMediaItem(MediaItem) or setPlaylist(List, MediaMetadata) calls.

Ensure uniqueness of each MediaItem in the playlist so the session can uniquely identity individual items. All MediaItems shouldn't be null as well.

It's recommended to fill MediaMetadata in each MediaItem especially for the duration information with the key MediaMetadata.METADATA_KEY_DURATION. Without the duration information in the metadata, session will do extra work to get the duration and send it to the controller.

The implementation must notify registered callbacks with SessionPlayer.PlayerCallback.onPlaylistChanged(SessionPlayer, List, MediaMetadata) and SessionPlayer.PlayerCallback.onCurrentMediaItemChanged(SessionPlayer, MediaItem) when it's completed. The current media item would be the first item in the playlist.
