Public constructors

Builder

public Builder(Context context, Player player)

Creates a builder for MediaSession.

Parameters
Context context

The context.

Player player

The underlying player to perform playback and handle player commands.

Public methods

build

public MediaSession build()

Builds a MediaSession.

Returns
MediaSession

A new session.

Throws
java.lang.IllegalStateException

if a MediaSession with the same ID already exists in the package.

setBitmapLoader

@UnstableApi
public MediaSession.Builder setBitmapLoader(BitmapLoader bitmapLoader)

Sets a BitmapLoader for the MediaSession to decode bitmaps from compressed binary data or load bitmaps from Uri.

The provided instance will likely be called repeatedly with the same request, so it would be best if any provided instance does some caching. Simple caching can be added to any implementation by wrapping it in CacheBitmapLoader before passing it to this method.

If no instance is set, a CacheBitmapLoader with a DataSourceBitmapLoader inside will be used.

Parameters
BitmapLoader bitmapLoader

The bitmap loader BitmapLoader.

Returns
MediaSession.Builder

The builder to allow chaining.

setCallback

public MediaSession.Builder setCallback(MediaSession.Callback callback)

Sets a callback for the MediaSession to handle incoming requests from {link MediaController}.

Apps that want to allow controllers to set or add media items to the playlist, must use a callback and override its onSetMediaItems or onSetMediaItems methods.

Parameters
MediaSession.Callback callback

The callback.

Returns
MediaSession.Builder

The builder to allow chaining.

setCommandButtonsForMediaItems

@UnstableApi
public MediaSession.Builder setCommandButtonsForMediaItems(List<CommandButton> commandButtons)

Sets command buttons that can be added as supported media item commands.

Parameters
List<CommandButton> commandButtons

The command buttons.

setCustomLayout

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public MediaSession.Builder setCustomLayout(List<CommandButton> customLayout)

Sets the custom layout of the session.

This method will be deprecated, prefer to use setMediaButtonPreferences. Note that the media button preferences use slots to define the allowed button placement.

The button are converted to custom actions in the legacy media session playback state for legacy controllers (see PlaybackStateCompat.Builder#addCustomAction(PlaybackStateCompat.CustomAction)). When converting, the custom extras of the session command is used for the extras of the legacy custom action.

Controllers that connect have the custom layout of the session available with the initial connection result by default. A custom layout specific to a controller can be set when the controller connects by using an .

Use MediaSession.setCustomLayout(..) to update the custom layout during the life time of the session.

On the controller side, the enabled flag is set to false if the available commands of a controller do not allow to use a button.

Parameters
List<CommandButton> customLayout

The ordered list of command buttons.

Returns
MediaSession.Builder

The builder to allow chaining.

setExtras

public MediaSession.Builder setExtras(Bundle tokenExtras)

Sets an extras Bundle for the session token. If not set, EMPTY is used.

A controller has access to these extras through the connected token.

Parameters
Bundle tokenExtras

The extras Bundle.

Returns
MediaSession.Builder

The builder to allow chaining.

setId

public MediaSession.Builder setId(String id)

Sets an ID of the MediaSession. If not set, an empty string will be used.

Use this if and only if your app supports multiple playback at the same time and also wants to provide external apps to have finer-grained controls.

Parameters
String id

The ID. Must be unique among all sessions per package.

Returns
MediaSession.Builder

The builder to allow chaining.

setMediaButtonPreferences

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
@UnstableApi
public MediaSession.Builder setMediaButtonPreferences(List<CommandButton> mediaButtonPreferences)

Sets the media button preferences.

When converting, the custom extras of the session command is used for the extras of the legacy custom action.

Controllers that connect have the media button preferences of the session available with the initial connection result by default. Media button preferences specific to a controller can be set when the controller connects by using an ConnectionResult.AcceptedResultBuilder.

Use MediaSession.setMediaButtonPreferences(..) to update the media button preferences during the life time of the session.

On the controller side, the enabled flag is set to false if the available commands of a controller do not allow to use a button.

Parameters
List<CommandButton> mediaButtonPreferences

The ordered list of command buttons.

Returns
MediaSession.Builder

The builder to allow chaining.

setPeriodicPositionUpdateEnabled

@UnstableApi

setSessionActivity

public MediaSession.Builder setSessionActivity(PendingIntent pendingIntent)

Sets a PendingIntent to launch an android.app.Activity for the . This can be used as a quick link to an ongoing media screen.

A client can use this pending intent to start an activity belonging to this session. On API levels below 33 the pending intent can be used as the content intent.

For API levels starting with 33, the media notification reads the pending intent directly from the session.

Parameters
PendingIntent pendingIntent

The pending intent.

Returns
MediaSession.Builder

The builder to allow chaining.

setSessionExtras
