MediaController.Builder

Kotlin |Java

public static final class MediaController.Builder
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	androidx.media2.session.MediaController.Builder

Builder for MediaController.

To set the token of the session for the controller to connect to, one of the setSessionToken(SessionToken) or setSessionCompatToken(MediaSessionCompat.Token) should be called. Otherwise, the build() will throw an IllegalArgumentException.

Any incoming event from the MediaSession will be handled on the callback executor.

Public constructors

Builder

public Builder (Context context)

Parameters
`context`	`Context`

Public methods

build

public MediaController build ()

Builds a MediaController.

Returns
`MediaController`	a new controller

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if both `SessionToken` and `MediaSessionCompat.Token` are not set.

setConnectionHints

public MediaController.Builder setConnectionHints (Bundle connectionHints)

Sets the connection hints for the controller.

connectionHints is a session-specific argument to send to the session when connecting. The contents of this bundle may affect the connection result.

The hints specified here are only used when when connecting to the MediaSession. They will be ignored when connecting to MediaSessionCompat.

Parameters
`connectionHints`	`Bundle`: a bundle which contains the connection hints

Returns
`MediaController.Builder`	the Builder to allow chaining

setControllerCallback

public MediaController.Builder setControllerCallback (Executor executor, 
                MediaController.ControllerCallback callback)

Sets the callback for the controller and its executor.

Parameters
`executor`	`Executor`: callback executor
`callback`	`MediaController.ControllerCallback`: controller callback.

Returns
`MediaController.Builder`	the Builder to allow chaining

setSessionCompatToken

public MediaController.Builder setSessionCompatToken (MediaSessionCompat.Token compatToken)

Sets the MediaSessionCompat.Token for the controller to connect to.

When this method is called, the SessionToken which was set by calling ERROR(/#setSessionToken(SessionToken)) is removed.

Parameters
`compatToken`	`MediaSessionCompat.Token`: token to connect to

Returns
`MediaController.Builder`	the Builder to allow chaining

setSessionToken

public MediaController.Builder setSessionToken (SessionToken token)

Sets the SessionToken for the controller to connect to.

When this method is called, the MediaSessionCompat.Token which was set by calling ERROR(/#setSessionCompatToken) is removed.

Detailed behavior of the MediaController differs according to the type of the token as follows.

Connected to a SessionToken.TYPE_SESSION token
The controller connects to the specified session directly. It's recommended when you're sure which session to control, or a you've got token directly from the session app.
This can be used only when the session for the token is running. Once the session is closed, the token becomes unusable.
Connected to a SessionToken.TYPE_SESSION_SERVICE or SessionToken.TYPE_LIBRARY_SERVICE
The controller connects to the session provided by the MediaSessionService.onGetSession(ControllerInfo). It's up to the service's decision which session would be returned for the connection. Use the ERROR(/#getConnectedSessionToken()) to know the connected session.
This can be used regardless of the session app is running or not. The controller would bind to the service while connected to wake up and keep the service process running.

Parameters
`token`	`SessionToken`: token to connect to

Returns
`MediaController.Builder`	the Builder to allow chaining
