MediaBrowser.Builder

public Builder(Context context, SessionToken token)

Creates a builder for MediaBrowser.

The type of SessionToken for a browser would typically be a TYPE_LIBRARY_SERVICE but it may be other types. The detailed behavior depending on the type is described in Builder.

public ListenableFuture<MediaBrowser> buildAsync()

Builds a MediaBrowser asynchronously.

The browser instance can be obtained like the following example:

MediaBrowser.Builder builder = new MediaBrowser.Builder(context, sessionToken);
ListenableFuture<MediaBrowser> future = builder.buildAsync();
future.addListener(() -> {
  try {
    MediaBrowser browser = future.get();
    // The session accepted the connection.
  } catch (ExecutionException | InterruptedException e) {
    if (e.getCause() instanceof SecurityException) {
      // The session rejected the connection.
    }
  }
}, ContextCompat.getMainExecutor(context));

The future must be kept by callers until the future is complete to get the controller instance. Otherwise, the future might be garbage collected and the listener added by addListener would never be called.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public MediaBrowser.Builder setApplicationLooper(Looper looper)

Sets a Looper that must be used for all calls to the Player methods and that is used to call Player.Listener methods on. The myLooper current looper} at that time this builder is created will be used if not specified. The main looper will be used if the current looper doesn't exist.

@UnstableApi
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public MediaBrowser.Builder setBitmapLoader(BitmapLoader bitmapLoader)

Sets a BitmapLoader for the MediaBrowser to decode bitmaps from compressed binary data. If not set, a CacheBitmapLoader that wraps a will be used.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public MediaBrowser.Builder setConnectionHints(Bundle connectionHints)

Sets connection hints for the browser.

The hints are session-specific arguments sent to the session when connecting. The contents of this bundle may affect the connection result.

The hints are only used when connecting to the MediaSession. They will be ignored when connecting to android.support.v4.media.session.MediaSessionCompat.

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public MediaBrowser.Builder setListener(MediaBrowser.Listener listener)

Sets a listener for the browser.

@UnstableApi
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public MediaBrowser.Builder setMaxCommandsForMediaItems(int maxCommandsForMediaItems)

Sets the max number of commands the controller supports per media item.

Must be greater or equal to 0. The default is 0.
