BassBoost

open class BassBoost : AudioEffect
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.media.audiofx.AudioEffect
   ↳ android.media.audiofx.BassBoost

Bass boost is an audio effect to boost or amplify low frequencies of the sound. It is comparable to a simple equalizer but limited to one band amplification in the low frequency range.

An application creates a BassBoost object to instantiate and control a bass boost engine in the audio framework.

The methods, parameter types and units exposed by the BassBoost implementation are directly mapping those defined by the OpenSL ES 1.0.1 Specification (http://www.khronos.org/opensles/) for the SLBassBoostItf interface. Please refer to this specification for more details.

To attach the BassBoost to a particular AudioTrack or MediaPlayer, specify the audio session ID of this AudioTrack or MediaPlayer when constructing the BassBoost.

NOTE: attaching a BassBoost to the global audio output mix by use of session 0 is deprecated.

See android.media.MediaPlayer#getAudioSessionId() for details on audio sessions.

See android.media.audiofx.AudioEffect class for more details on controlling audio effects.

Summary

Nested classes
abstract

The OnParameterChangeListener interface defines a method called by the BassBoost when a parameter value has changed.

open

The Settings class regroups all bass boost parameters.

Constants
static Int

Bass boost effect strength.

static Int

Is strength parameter supported by bass boost engine.

Inherited constants
Public constructors
BassBoost(priority: Int, audioSession: Int)

Class constructor.

Public methods
open BassBoost.Settings!

Gets the bass boost properties.

open Short

Gets the current strength of the effect.

open Boolean

Indicates whether setting strength is supported.

open Unit

Registers an OnParameterChangeListener interface.

open Unit

Sets the bass boost properties.

open Unit
setStrength(strength: Short)

Sets the strength of the bass boost effect.

Constants

PARAM_STRENGTH

Added in API level 9
static val PARAM_STRENGTH: Int

Bass boost effect strength. Parameter ID for android.media.audiofx.BassBoost.OnParameterChangeListener

Value: 1

PARAM_STRENGTH_SUPPORTED

Added in API level 9
static val PARAM_STRENGTH_SUPPORTED: Int

Is strength parameter supported by bass boost engine. Parameter ID for getParameter().

Value: 0

Public constructors

BassBoost

Added in API level 9
BassBoost(
    priority: Int,
    audioSession: Int)

Class constructor.

Parameters
priority Int: the priority level requested by the application for controlling the BassBoost engine. As the same engine can be shared by several applications, this parameter indicates how much the requesting application needs control of effect parameters. The normal priority is 0, above normal is a positive number, below normal a negative number.
audioSession Int: system wide unique audio session identifier. The BassBoost will be attached to the MediaPlayer or AudioTrack in the same audio session.

Public methods

getProperties

Added in API level 9
open fun getProperties(): BassBoost.Settings!

Gets the bass boost properties. This method is useful when a snapshot of current bass boost settings must be saved by the application.

Return
BassBoost.Settings! a BassBoost.Settings object containing all current parameters values
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalStateException
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

getRoundedStrength

Added in API level 9
open fun getRoundedStrength(): Short

Gets the current strength of the effect.

Return
Short the strength of the effect. The valid range for strength is [0, 1000], where 0 per mille designates the mildest effect and 1000 per mille the strongest
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalStateException
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

getStrengthSupported

Added in API level 9
open fun getStrengthSupported(): Boolean

Indicates whether setting strength is supported. If this method returns false, only one strength is supported and the setStrength() method always rounds to that value.

Return
Boolean true is strength parameter is supported, false otherwise

setParameterListener

Added in API level 9
open fun setParameterListener(listener: BassBoost.OnParameterChangeListener!): Unit

Registers an OnParameterChangeListener interface.

Parameters
listener BassBoost.OnParameterChangeListener!: OnParameterChangeListener interface registered

setProperties

Added in API level 9
open fun setProperties(settings: BassBoost.Settings!): Unit

Sets the bass boost properties. This method is useful when bass boost settings have to be applied from a previous backup.

Parameters
settings BassBoost.Settings!: a BassBoost.Settings object containing the properties to apply
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalStateException
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

setStrength

Added in API level 9
open fun setStrength(strength: Short): Unit

Sets the strength of the bass boost effect. If the implementation does not support per mille accuracy for setting the strength, it is allowed to round the given strength to the nearest supported value. You can use the getRoundedStrength() method to query the (possibly rounded) value that was actually set.

Parameters
strength Short: strength of the effect. The valid range for strength strength is [0, 1000], where 0 per mille designates the mildest effect and 1000 per mille designates the strongest.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalStateException
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
