Public constructors

MediaBrowser

Added in API level 21

public MediaBrowser (Context context, 
                ComponentName serviceComponent, 
                MediaBrowser.ConnectionCallback callback, 
                Bundle rootHints)

Creates a media browser for the specified media browser service.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: The context.
`serviceComponent`	`ComponentName`: The component name of the media browser service.
`callback`	`MediaBrowser.ConnectionCallback`: The connection callback.
`rootHints`	`Bundle`: An optional bundle of service-specific arguments to send to the media browser service when connecting and retrieving the root id for browsing, or null if none. The contents of this bundle may affect the information returned when browsing.

Public methods

connect

Added in API level 21

public void connect ()

Connects to the media browser service.

The connection callback specified in the constructor will be invoked when the connection completes or fails.

disconnect

Added in API level 21

public void disconnect ()

Disconnects from the media browser service. After this, no more callbacks will be received.

getExtras

Added in API level 21

public Bundle getExtras ()

Gets any extras for the media service.

Returns
`Bundle`	This value may be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalStateException`	if not connected.

getItem

Added in API level 23

public void getItem (String mediaId, 
                MediaBrowser.ItemCallback cb)

Retrieves a specific MediaItem from the connected service. Not all services may support this, so falling back to subscribing to the parent's id should be used when unavailable.

Parameters
`mediaId`	`String`: The id of the item to retrieve. This value cannot be `null`.
`cb`	`MediaBrowser.ItemCallback`: The callback to receive the result on. This value cannot be `null`.

getRoot

Added in API level 21

public String getRoot ()

Gets the root id.

Note that the root id may become invalid or change when the browser is disconnected.

Returns
`String`	This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalStateException`	if not connected.

getServiceComponent

Added in API level 21

public ComponentName getServiceComponent ()

Gets the service component that the media browser is connected to.

Returns
`ComponentName`	This value cannot be `null`.

getSessionToken

Added in API level 21

public MediaSession.Token getSessionToken ()

Gets the media session token associated with the media browser.

Note that the session token may become invalid or change when the browser is disconnected.

Returns
`MediaSession.Token`	The session token for the browser, never null.

Throws
`IllegalStateException`	if not connected.

isConnected

Added in API level 21

public boolean isConnected ()

Returns whether the browser is connected to the service.

Returns
`boolean`

Added in API level 24

public void subscribe (String parentId, 
                Bundle options, 
                MediaBrowser.SubscriptionCallback callback)

Queries with service-specific arguments for information about the media items that are contained within the specified id and subscribes to receive updates when they change.

The list of subscriptions is maintained even when not connected and is restored after the reconnection. It is ok to subscribe while not connected but the results will not be returned until the connection completes.

If the id is already subscribed with a different callback then the new callback will replace the previous one and the child data will be reloaded.

Parameters
`parentId`	`String`: The id of the parent media item whose list of children will be subscribed. This value cannot be `null`.
`options`	`Bundle`: The bundle of service-specific arguments to send to the media browser service. The contents of this bundle may affect the information returned when browsing. This value cannot be `null`.
`callback`	`MediaBrowser.SubscriptionCallback`: The callback to receive the list of children. This value cannot be `null`.

Added in API level 21

public void subscribe (String parentId, 
                MediaBrowser.SubscriptionCallback callback)

Queries for information about the media items that are contained within the specified id and subscribes to receive updates when they change.

If the id is already subscribed with a different callback then the new callback will replace the previous one and the child data will be reloaded.

Parameters
`parentId`	`String`: The id of the parent media item whose list of children will be subscribed. This value cannot be `null`.
`callback`	`MediaBrowser.SubscriptionCallback`: The callback to receive the list of children. This value cannot be `null`.

unsubscribe

Added in API level 21

public void unsubscribe (String parentId)

Unsubscribes for changes to the children of the specified media id.

The query callback will no longer be invoked for results associated with this id once this method returns.

Parameters
`parentId`	`String`: The id of the parent media item whose list of children will be unsubscribed. This value cannot be `null`.

unsubscribe

Added in API level 24

public void unsubscribe (String parentId, 
                MediaBrowser.SubscriptionCallback callback)

Unsubscribes for changes to the children of the specified media id through a callback.

The query callback will no longer be invoked for results associated with this id once this method returns.

Parameters
`parentId`	`String`: The id of the parent media item whose list of children will be unsubscribed. This value cannot be `null`.
`callback`	`MediaBrowser.SubscriptionCallback`: A callback sent to the media browser service to subscribe. This value cannot be `null`.
