TvContentRating

public final class TvContentRating
extends Object

A class representing a TV content rating. When a TV input service inserts the content rating information on a program into the database, this class can be used to generate the formatted string for TvContract.Programs.COLUMN_CONTENT_RATING. To create a TvContentRating object, use the TvContentRating.createRating method with valid rating system string constants.

It is possible for an application to define its own content rating system by supplying a content rating system definition XML resource (see example below) and declaring a broadcast receiver that filters ACTION_QUERY_CONTENT_RATING_SYSTEMS in its manifest.

Example: Rating system definition for the TV Parental Guidelines

System defined rating strings

For example, to create an object that represents TV-PG rating with suggestive dialogue and coarse language from the TV Parental Guidelines in the United States, one can use the following code snippet:

 TvContentRating rating = TvContentRating.createRating(
         "com.android.tv",
         "US_TV",
         "US_TV_PG",
         "US_TV_D", "US_TV_L");
 

System defined string for domains

System defined strings for rating systems

System defined strings for ratings

System defined strings for sub-ratings

Summary

String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long millis) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object.
