EffectFactory

Kotlin |Java

public class EffectFactory
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.media.effect.EffectFactory

The EffectFactory class defines the list of available Effects, and provides functionality to inspect and instantiate them. Some effects may not be available on all platforms, so before creating a certain effect, the application should confirm that the effect is supported on this platform by calling isEffectSupported(java.lang.String).

createEffect

Added in API level 14

public Effect createEffect (String effectName)

Instantiate a new effect with the given effect name.

The effect's parameters will be set to their default values.

Parameters
`effectName`	`String`: The name of the effect to create.

Returns
`Effect`	A new Effect instance.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if the effect with the specified name is not supported or not known.

isEffectSupported

Added in API level 14

public static boolean isEffectSupported (String effectName)

Check if an effect is supported on this platform.

Some effects may only be available on certain platforms. Use this method before instantiating an effect to make sure it is supported.

Parameters
`effectName`	`String`: The name of the effect.

Returns
`boolean`	true, if the effect is supported on this platform.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if the effect name is not known.
