Public methods

addEditableKey

Added in API level 19
void addEditableKey (int key)

Flags the given key as being editable. This should only be used by metadata publishers, such as RemoteControlClient, which will declare the metadata field as eligible to be updated, with new values received through the RemoteControlClient.OnMetadataUpdateListener interface.

Parameters
key int: the type of metadata that can be edited. The supported key is RATING_KEY_BY_USER.

apply

Added in API level 19
void apply ()

Applies all of the metadata changes that have been set since the MediaMetadataEditor instance was created or since clear() was called. Subclasses should synchronize on this for thread safety.

clear

Added in API level 19
void clear ()

Clears all the pending metadata changes set since the MediaMetadataEditor instance was created or since this method was last called. Note that clearing the metadata doesn't reset the editable keys (use removeEditableKeys() instead).

getBitmap

Added in API level 19
Bitmap getBitmap (int key, 
                Bitmap defaultValue)

Returns the Bitmap value for the key.

Parameters
key int: the BITMAP_KEY_ARTWORK key
defaultValue Bitmap: the value returned if the key is not present
Returns
Bitmap the Bitmap value for the key, or the supplied default value if the key is not present
Throws
IllegalArgumentException

getEditableKeys

Added in API level 19
int[] getEditableKeys ()

Retrieves the keys flagged as editable.

Returns
long the long value for the key, or the supplied default value if the key is not present
Throws
IllegalArgumentException

getObject

Added in API level 19
Object getObject (int key, 
                Object defaultValue)
