MediaController


@DoNotMock
public class MediaController implements Player

Known direct subclasses
MediaBrowser

Browses media content offered by a MediaLibraryService in addition to the functions.


A controller that interacts with a MediaSession, a MediaSessionService hosting a MediaSession, or a MediaLibraryService hosting a . The MediaSession typically resides in a remote process like another app but may be in the same process as this controller. It implements and the player commands are sent to the underlying Player of the connected . It also has session-specific commands that can be handled by .

Topics covered here:

  1. Controller Lifecycle
  2. Threading Model
  3. Package Visibility Filter
  4. Backward Compatibility with legacy media sessions

Controller Lifecycle

When a controller is created with the SessionToken for a MediaSession (i.e. session token type is TYPE_SESSION), the controller will connect to the specific session.

When a controller is created with the SessionToken for a MediaSessionService (i.e. session token type is TYPE_SESSION_SERVICE or TYPE_LIBRARY_SERVICE), the controller binds to the service for connecting to a MediaSession in it. MediaSessionService will provide a session to connect.

When you're done, use releaseFuture or release to clean up resources. This also helps the session service to be destroyed when there's no controller associated with it. Releasing the controller will still deliver all pending commands sent to the session and only unbind from the session service once these commands have been handled, or after a timeout of RELEASE_UNBIND_TIMEOUT_MS.

Threading Model

Methods of this class should be called from the application thread associated with the application looper. Otherwise, IllegalStateException will be thrown. Also, the methods of Player.Listener and Listener will be called from the application thread.

Package Visibility Filter

The app targeting API level 30 or higher must include a <queries> element in their manifest to connect to a service component of another app like MediaSessionService, MediaLibraryService, or androidx.media.MediaBrowserServiceCompat). See the following example and this guide for more information.

<!-- As intent actions -->
<intent>
  <action android:name="androidx.media3.session.MediaSessionService" />
</intent>
<intent>
  <action android:name="androidx.media3.session.MediaLibraryService" />
</intent>
<intent>
  <action android:name="android.media.browse.MediaBrowserService" />
</intent>
<!-- Or, as a package name -->
<package android:name="package_name_of_the_other_app" />

Backward Compatibility with legacy media sessions

In addition to MediaSession, the controller also supports connecting to a legacy media session - framework session and AndroidX session compat.

To request legacy sessions to play media, use one of the setMediaItem methods and set either mediaId, mediaUri or searchQuery. Once the controller is prepared, the controller triggers one of the following callbacks depending on the provided information and the value of getPlayWhenReady:

Other playlist change methods, like addMediaItem or removeMediaItem, trigger the onAddQueueItem and onRemoveQueueItem onRemoveQueueItem} callbacks. Check getAvailableCommands to see if playlist modifications are supported by the legacy session.

Constants

KEY_MEDIA_NOTIFICATION_CONTROLLER_FLAG

@UnstableApi
public static final String KEY_MEDIA_NOTIFICATION_CONTROLLER_FLAG = "androidx.media3.session.MediaNotificationManager"

Key to mark the connection hints of the media notification controller.

For a controller to be recognized by the session as the media notification controller, this key needs to be used to set a boolean flag in the connection hints to true. Only an internal controller that has the same package name as the session can be used as a media notification controller.

When using a session within a MediaSessionService or MediaLibraryService, the service connects a media notification controller automatically. Apps can do this for standalone session to configure the platform session in the same way.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_CHANGE_MEDIA_ITEMS is available.

Parameters
List<MediaItem> mediaItems

The new media items.

boolean resetPosition

Whether the playback position should be reset to the default position in the first Timeline.Window. If false, playback will start from the position defined by getCurrentMediaItemIndex and getCurrentPosition.

setMediaItems

public final void setMediaItems(
    List<MediaItem> mediaItems,
    int startIndex,
    long startPositionMs
)

Clears the playlist and adds the specified media items.

To replace a span of media items (possibly seamlessly) without clearing the playlist, use replaceMediaItems.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_CHANGE_MEDIA_ITEMS is available.

Parameters
List<MediaItem> mediaItems

The new media items.

int startIndex

The MediaItem index to start playback from. If INDEX_UNSET is passed, the current position is not reset.

long startPositionMs

The position in milliseconds to start playback from. If TIME_UNSET is passed, the default position of the given MediaItem is used. In any case, if startIndex is set to INDEX_UNSET, this parameter is ignored and the position is not reset at all.

Throws
androidx.media3.common.IllegalSeekPositionException

If the provided startIndex is not within the bounds of the list of media items.

setPlayWhenReady

public final void setPlayWhenReady(boolean playWhenReady)

Sets whether playback should proceed when getPlaybackState == STATE_READY.

If the player is already in the ready state then this method pauses and resumes playback.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_PLAY_PAUSE is available.

Parameters
boolean playWhenReady

Whether playback should proceed when ready.

setPlaybackParameters

public final void setPlaybackParameters(PlaybackParameters playbackParameters)

Attempts to set the playback parameters. Passing DEFAULT resets the player to the default, which means there is no speed or pitch adjustment.

Playback parameters changes may cause the player to buffer. onPlaybackParametersChanged will be called whenever the currently active playback parameters change.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_SPEED_AND_PITCH is available.

Parameters
PlaybackParameters playbackParameters

The playback parameters.

setPlaybackSpeed

public final void setPlaybackSpeed(float speed)

Changes the rate at which playback occurs. The pitch is not changed.

This is equivalent to setPlaybackParameters(getPlaybackParameters().withSpeed(speed)).

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_SPEED_AND_PITCH is available.

Parameters
float speed

The linear factor by which playback will be sped up. Must be higher than 0. 1 is normal speed, 2 is twice as fast, 0.5 is half normal speed.

setPlaylistMetadata

public final void setPlaylistMetadata(MediaMetadata playlistMetadata)

Sets the playlist MediaMetadata.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_PLAYLIST_METADATA is available.

setRating

public final ListenableFuture<SessionResultsetRating(Rating rating)

Requests that the connected MediaSession rates the current media item. This will cause the rating to be set for the current user. The rating style must follow the user rating style from the session. You can get the rating style from the session through the userRating.

If the user rating was null, the media item does not accept setting user rating.

Parameters
Rating rating

The rating to set.

Returns
ListenableFuture<SessionResult>

A ListenableFuture of SessionResult representing the pending completion.

setRating

public final ListenableFuture<SessionResultsetRating(String mediaId, Rating rating)

Requests that the connected MediaSession rates the media. This will cause the rating to be set for the current user. The rating style must follow the user rating style from the session. You can get the rating style from the session through the userRating.

If the user rating was null, the media item does not accept setting user rating.

Parameters
String mediaId

The non-empty mediaId.

Rating rating

The rating to set.

Returns
ListenableFuture<SessionResult>

A ListenableFuture of SessionResult representing the pending completion.

setRepeatMode

public final void setRepeatMode(@Player.RepeatMode int repeatMode)

Sets the RepeatMode to be used for playback.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_REPEAT_MODE is available.

Parameters
@Player.RepeatMode int repeatMode

The repeat mode.

setShuffleModeEnabled

public final void setShuffleModeEnabled(boolean shuffleModeEnabled)

Sets whether shuffling of media items is enabled.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_SHUFFLE_MODE is available.

Parameters
boolean shuffleModeEnabled

Whether shuffling is enabled.

setTrackSelectionParameters

public final void setTrackSelectionParameters(TrackSelectionParameters parameters)

Sets the parameters constraining the track selection.

Unsupported parameters will be silently ignored.

Use getTrackSelectionParameters to retrieve the current parameters. For example, the following snippet restricts video to SD whilst keep other track selection parameters unchanged:

player.setTrackSelectionParameters(
  player.getTrackSelectionParameters()
        .buildUpon()
        .setMaxVideoSizeSd()
        .build())

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_TRACK_SELECTION_PARAMETERS is available.

setVideoSurface

public final void setVideoSurface(@Nullable Surface surface)

Sets the Surface onto which video will be rendered. The caller is responsible for tracking the lifecycle of the surface, and must clear the surface by calling setVideoSurface(null) if the surface is destroyed.

If the surface is held by a SurfaceView, TextureView or then it's recommended to use setVideoSurfaceView, setVideoTextureView or setVideoSurfaceHolder rather than this method, since passing the holder allows the player to track the lifecycle of the surface automatically.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_VIDEO_SURFACE is available.

Parameters
@Nullable Surface surface

The Surface.

setVideoSurfaceHolder

public final void setVideoSurfaceHolder(@Nullable SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder)

Sets the SurfaceHolder that holds the Surface onto which video will be rendered. The player will track the lifecycle of the surface automatically.

The thread that calls the SurfaceHolder.Callback methods must be the thread associated with getApplicationLooper.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_VIDEO_SURFACE is available.

Parameters
@Nullable SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder

The surface holder.

setVideoSurfaceView

public final void setVideoSurfaceView(@Nullable SurfaceView surfaceView)

Sets the SurfaceView onto which video will be rendered. The player will track the lifecycle of the surface automatically.

The thread that calls the SurfaceHolder.Callback methods must be the thread associated with getApplicationLooper.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_VIDEO_SURFACE is available.

Parameters
@Nullable SurfaceView surfaceView

The surface view.

setVideoTextureView

public final void setVideoTextureView(@Nullable TextureView textureView)

Sets the TextureView onto which video will be rendered. The player will track the lifecycle of the surface automatically.

Consider using SurfaceView via setVideoSurfaceView instead of . SurfaceView generally causes lower battery consumption, and has better handling for HDR and secure content. See Choosing a surface type for more information.

The thread that calls the TextureView.SurfaceTextureListener methods must be the thread associated with getApplicationLooper.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_VIDEO_SURFACE is available.

Parameters
@Nullable TextureView textureView

The texture view.

setVolume

public final void setVolume(@FloatRange(from = 0, to = 1) float volume)

Sets the audio volume, valid values are between 0 (silence) and 1 (unity gain, signal unchanged), inclusive.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_SET_VOLUME is available.

Parameters
@FloatRange(from = 0, to = 1) float volume

Linear output gain to apply to all audio channels.

stop

public final void stop()

Stops playback without resetting the playlist. Use pause rather than this method if the intention is to pause playback.

Calling this method will cause the playback state to transition to STATE_IDLE and the player will release the loaded media and resources required for playback. The player instance can still be used by calling prepare again, and release must still be called on the player if it's no longer required.

Calling this method does not clear the playlist, reset the playback position or the playback error.

This method must only be called if COMMAND_STOP is available.
