AudioAttributesCompat

public class AudioAttributesCompat
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.v4.media.AudioAttributesCompat

A class to encapsulate a collection of attributes describing information about an audio stream.

AudioAttributesCompat supersede the notion of stream types (see for instance STREAM_MUSIC or STREAM_ALARM) for defining the behavior of audio playback. Attributes allow an application to specify more information than is conveyed in a stream type by allowing the application to define:

  • usage: "why" you are playing a sound, what is this sound used for. This is achieved with the "usage" information. Examples of usage are USAGE_MEDIA and USAGE_ALARM. These two examples are the closest to stream types, but more detailed use cases are available. Usage information is more expressive than a stream type, and allows certain platforms or routing policies to use this information for more refined volume or routing decisions. Usage is the most important information to supply in AudioAttributesCompat and it is recommended to build any instance with this information supplied, see AudioAttributesCompat.Builder for exceptions.
  • content type: "what" you are playing. The content type expresses the general category of the content. This information is optional. But in case it is known (for instance CONTENT_TYPE_MOVIE for a movie streaming service or CONTENT_TYPE_MUSIC for a music playback application) this information might be used by the audio framework to selectively configure some audio post-processing blocks.
  • flags: "how" is playback to be affected, see the flag definitions for the specific playback behaviors they control.

AudioAttributesCompat instance is built through its builder, AudioAttributesCompat.Builder. Also see AudioAttributes for the framework implementation of this class.
