| java.lang.Object | |
| ↳ | android.media.quality.EqualizerBand |
Represents a single band in an equalizer.
An equalizer is composed of multiple bands, each targeting a specific frequency range in the audio spectrum. This parcelable defines the properties of one such band.

EqualizerBand
public EqualizerBand (int frequencyHz,
int gainDb,
float qFactor)Constructs an EqualizerBand.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
frequencyHz |
int: The center frequency of this band in Hertz (Hz).
Value is 1 or greater |
gainDb |
int: The gain (level) for this band in decibels (dB). |
qFactor |
float: The Quality Factor (Q).
Value is 0.0f or greater |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
IllegalArgumentException |
if any parameter is out of its supported range. |
Public methods
describeContents
public int describeContents ()
Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable
instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will
include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(Parcel,int),
the return value of this method must include the
CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int |
a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled
by this Parcelable object instance.
Value is either 0 or
|
getFrequencyHz
public int getFrequencyHz ()
Gets the center frequency of the band in Hertz.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int |
Value is 1 or greater |
getGainDb
public int getGainDb ()
Gets the gain for the band in decibels (dB). The range is determined by hardware capabilities. (e.g., -50 to 50 or -100 to 100)
Negative means the signal in this frequency band is reduced, so the output is quieter than the input. (This is used to remove unwanted frequencies like "mud" or "hiss")
Positive means the signal in this frequency band is amplified, so the output is louder than the input.
0 means the signal is unchanged and this is the default state of an equalizer.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int |
|
getQFactor
public float getQFactor ()
Gets the Quality Factor (Q).
The Q factor controls the bandwidth (width) of the frequency range affected by this filter It is inversely proportional to bandwidth:
- High Q (e.g., > 2.0): Creates a narrow, sharp curve. Used for precise adjustments (e.g., removing a specific resonant frequency).
- Low Q (e.g., < 0.7): Creates a wide, broad curve. Used for general tonal shaping (e.g., "boosting the bass").
| Returns | |
|---|---|
float |
Value is 0.0f or greater |
writeToParcel
public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, int flags)
Flatten this object in to a Parcel.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
dest |
Parcel: This value cannot be null. |
flags |
int: Additional flags about how the object should be written.
May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE.
Value is either 0 or a combination of the following:
