public interface Codec.EncoderFactory

Known direct subclasses

DefaultEncoderFactory

DefaultEncoderFactory

A default implementation of Codec.EncoderFactory.

A factory for encoder instances.

Summary

Public methods
`default boolean`	`audioNeedsEncoding()` Returns whether the audio needs to be encoded because of encoder specific configuration.
`abstract Codec`	`createForAudioEncoding(Format format)` Returns a `Codec` for audio encoding.
`abstract Codec`	`createForVideoEncoding(Format format)` Returns a `Codec` for video encoding.
`default boolean`	`videoNeedsEncoding()` Returns whether the video needs to be encoded because of encoder specific configuration.

Public methods

audioNeedsEncoding

default boolean audioNeedsEncoding()

Returns whether the audio needs to be encoded because of encoder specific configuration.

createForAudioEncoding

abstract Codec createForAudioEncoding(Format format)

Returns a Codec for audio encoding.

The caller should ensure the MIME type is supported on the device before calling this method.

codecs contains the codec string for the original input media that has been decoded and processed. This is provided only as a hint, and the factory may encode to a different format.

Parameters
`Format format`	The `Format` (of the output data) used to determine the underlying encoder and its configuration values. `sampleMimeType`, `sampleRate`, `channelCount` and `bitrate` are set to those of the desired output video format.

Returns
`Codec`	A `Codec` for encoding audio to the requested `MIME type`.

Throws
`androidx.media3.transformer.ExportException`	If no suitable `Codec` can be created.

createForVideoEncoding

abstract Codec createForVideoEncoding(Format format)

Returns a Codec for video encoding.

The caller should ensure the MIME type is supported on the device before calling this method. If encoding to HDR, the caller should also ensure the color characteristics are supported.

codecs contains the codec string for the original input media that has been decoded and processed. This is provided only as a hint, and the factory may encode to a different format.

Parameters

Parameters
`Format format`	The `Format` (of the output data) used to determine the underlying encoder and its configuration values. `sampleMimeType`, `width` and `height` are set to those of the desired output video format. `frameRate` is set to the requested output frame rate, if available. `colorInfo` is set to the requested output color characteristics, if available. `rotationDegrees` is 0 and `width>=height`, therefore the video is always in landscape orientation.

Format format

The Format (of the output data) used to determine the underlying encoder and its configuration values. sampleMimeType, width and height are set to those of the desired output video format. frameRate is set to the requested output frame rate, if available. colorInfo is set to the requested output color characteristics, if available. rotationDegrees is 0 and width>=height, therefore the video is always in landscape orientation.

Returns
`Codec`	A `Codec` for encoding video to the requested `MIME type`.

Throws
`androidx.media3.transformer.ExportException`	If no suitable `Codec` can be created.

videoNeedsEncoding

default boolean videoNeedsEncoding()

Returns whether the video needs to be encoded because of encoder specific configuration.
