MediaRouteDescriptor

public final class MediaRouteDescriptor


Describes the properties of a route.

canDisconnectAndKeepPlaying

Added in 1.1.0
public boolean canDisconnectAndKeepPlaying()

Gets whether the route can be disconnected without stopping playback.

The route can normally be disconnected without stopping playback when the destination device on the route is connected to two or more source devices. The route provider should update the route immediately when the number of connected devices changes.

To specify that the route should disconnect without stopping use unselect with UNSELECT_REASON_DISCONNECTED.

Parameters
@Nullable Bundle bundle

Returns
@Nullable MediaRouteDescriptor

The new instance, or null if the bundle was null.

getAllowedPackages

Added in 1.6.0
public @NonNull Set<StringgetAllowedPackages()

Gets the set of allowed packages which are able to see the route or an empty set if only the route provider's package is allowed to see this route. This applies only when isVisibilityPublic returns false.

getConnectionState

public int getConnectionState()

Gets the connection state of the route.

Returns
int

The connection state of this route: CONNECTION_STATE_DISCONNECTED, CONNECTION_STATE_CONNECTING, or CONNECTION_STATE_CONNECTED.

Two routes are considered to come from the same receiver device if any of their respective deduplication ids match.

getDescription

Added in 1.1.0
public @Nullable String getDescription()

isDynamicGroupRoute

Returns if this route is a dynamic group route.

MediaRouteProvider creates a dynamic group route when onCreateDynamicGroupRouteController is called. It happens when a single route or a single static group is selected.

If a single device or a static group is selected, the associated dynamic group route should not be seen by any client app because there is already one for the device. After user added more devices into the session, it should be seen by the client app. The provider can treat this by not setting the media intent for the dynamic group route if it contains only one member.

>
Returns
boolean

true if this route is a dynamic group route.

public boolean isEnabled()

Gets whether the route is enabled.

public boolean isSystemRoute()

System routes are routes controlled by the system, like the device's built-in speakers, wired headsets, and bluetooth devices.

To use system routes, your application should write media sample data to a media framework API, typically via Exoplayer.
