Public constructors

MediaMetadataRetriever

Added in API level 10

MediaMetadataRetriever ()

Public methods

extractMetadata

Added in API level 10

String extractMetadata (int keyCode)

Call this method after setDataSource(). This method retrieves the meta data value associated with the keyCode. The keyCode currently supported is listed below as METADATA_XXX constants. With any other value, it returns a null pointer.

Parameters
`keyCode`	`int`: One of the constants listed below at the end of the class.

Returns
`String`	The meta data value associate with the given keyCode on success; null on failure.

getEmbeddedPicture

Added in API level 10

byte[] getEmbeddedPicture ()

Call this method after setDataSource(). This method finds the optional graphic or album/cover art associated associated with the data source. If there are more than one pictures, (any) one of them is returned.

Returns
`byte[]`	null if no such graphic is found.

getFrameAtTime

Added in API level 10

Bitmap getFrameAtTime (long timeUs)

Call this method after setDataSource(). This method finds a representative frame close to the given time position if possible, and returns it as a bitmap. This is useful for generating a thumbnail for an input data source. Call this method if one does not care how the frame is found as long as it is close to the given time; otherwise, please call getFrameAtTime(long, int).

Parameters
`timeUs`	`long`: The time position where the frame will be retrieved. When retrieving the frame at the given time position, there is no guarentee that the data source has a frame located at the position. When this happens, a frame nearby will be returned. If timeUs is negative, time position and option will ignored, and any frame that the implementation considers as representative may be returned.

Returns
`Bitmap`	A Bitmap containing a representative video frame, which can be null, if such a frame cannot be retrieved.

See also:

getFrameAtTime(long, int)

getFrameAtTime

Added in API level 10

Bitmap getFrameAtTime ()

Call this method after setDataSource(). This method finds a representative frame at any time position if possible, and returns it as a bitmap. This is useful for generating a thumbnail for an input data source. Call this method if one does not care about where the frame is located; otherwise, please call getFrameAtTime(long) or getFrameAtTime(long, int)

Returns
`Bitmap`	A Bitmap containing a representative video frame, which can be null, if such a frame cannot be retrieved.

See also:

getFrameAtTime

Added in API level 10

Bitmap getFrameAtTime (long timeUs, 
                int option)

Call this method after setDataSource(). This method finds a representative frame close to the given time position by considering the given option if possible, and returns it as a bitmap. This is useful for generating a thumbnail for an input data source or just obtain and display a frame at the given time position.

Parameters

timeUs long: The time position where the frame will be retrieved. When retrieving the frame at the given time position, there is no guarantee that the data source has a frame located at the position. When this happens, a frame nearby will be returned. If timeUs is negative, time position and option will ignored, and any frame that the implementation considers as representative may be returned.

option int: a hint on how the frame is found. Use OPTION_PREVIOUS_SYNC if one wants to retrieve a sync frame that has a timestamp earlier than or the same as timeUs. Use OPTION_NEXT_SYNC if one wants to retrieve a sync frame that has a timestamp later than or the same as timeUs. Use OPTION_CLOSEST_SYNC if one wants to retrieve a sync frame that has a timestamp closest to or the same as timeUs. Use OPTION_CLOSEST if one wants to retrieve a frame that may or may not be a sync frame but is closest to or the same as timeUs. OPTION_CLOSEST often has larger performance overhead compared to the other options if there is no sync frame located at timeUs.

Parameters
`timeUs`	`long`: The time position where the frame will be retrieved. When retrieving the frame at the given time position, there is no guarantee that the data source has a frame located at the position. When this happens, a frame nearby will be returned. If timeUs is negative, time position and option will ignored, and any frame that the implementation considers as representative may be returned.
`option`	`int`: a hint on how the frame is found. Use `OPTION_PREVIOUS_SYNC` if one wants to retrieve a sync frame that has a timestamp earlier than or the same as timeUs. Use `OPTION_NEXT_SYNC` if one wants to retrieve a sync frame that has a timestamp later than or the same as timeUs. Use `OPTION_CLOSEST_SYNC` if one wants to retrieve a sync frame that has a timestamp closest to or the same as timeUs. Use `OPTION_CLOSEST` if one wants to retrieve a frame that may or may not be a sync frame but is closest to or the same as timeUs. `OPTION_CLOSEST` often has larger performance overhead compared to the other options if there is no sync frame located at timeUs.

Returns
`Bitmap`	A Bitmap containing a representative video frame, which can be null, if such a frame cannot be retrieved.

release

Added in API level 10

void release ()

Call it when one is done with the object. This method releases the memory allocated internally.

setDataSource

Added in API level 10

void setDataSource (FileDescriptor fd, 
                long offset, 
                long length)

Sets the data source (FileDescriptor) to use. It is the caller's responsibility to close the file descriptor. It is safe to do so as soon as this call returns. Call this method before the rest of the methods in this class. This method may be time-consuming.

Parameters
`fd`	`FileDescriptor`: the FileDescriptor for the file you want to play
`offset`	`long`: the offset into the file where the data to be played starts, in bytes. It must be non-negative

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if the arguments are invalid

setDataSource

Added in API level 10

void setDataSource (String path)

Sets the data source (file pathname) to use. Call this method before the rest of the methods in this class. This method may be time-consuming.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	If the path is invalid.

setDataSource

Added in API level 10

void setDataSource (Context context, 
                Uri uri)

Sets the data source as a content Uri. Call this method before the rest of the methods in this class. This method may be time-consuming.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: the Context to use when resolving the Uri
`uri`	`Uri`: the Content URI of the data you want to play

Throws

Protected methods

finalize

Added in API level 10

void finalize ()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the Java^TM virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Throws
`Throwable`
