ACTION_BLOCKED_RATINGS_CHANGED

String ACTION_BLOCKED_RATINGS_CHANGED

Broadcast intent action when the user blocked content ratings change. For use with the isRatingBlocked(TvContentRating).

Constant Value: "android.media.tv.action.BLOCKED_RATINGS_CHANGED"

ACTION_PARENTAL_CONTROLS_ENABLED_CHANGED

String ACTION_PARENTAL_CONTROLS_ENABLED_CHANGED

Broadcast intent action when the parental controls enabled state changes. For use with the isParentalControlsEnabled().

Constant Value: "android.media.tv.action.PARENTAL_CONTROLS_ENABLED_CHANGED"

ACTION_QUERY_CONTENT_RATING_SYSTEMS

String ACTION_QUERY_CONTENT_RATING_SYSTEMS

Broadcast intent action used to query available content rating systems.

The TV input manager service locates available content rating systems by querying broadcast receivers that are registered for this action. An application can offer additional content rating systems to the user by declaring a suitable broadcast receiver in its manifest.

Here is an example broadcast receiver declaration that an application might include in its AndroidManifest.xml to advertise custom content rating systems. The meta-data specifies a resource that contains a description of each content rating system that is provided by the application.

 <receiver android:name=".TvInputReceiver">
     <intent-filter>
         <action android:name=
                 "android.media.tv.action.QUERY_CONTENT_RATING_SYSTEMS" />
     </intent-filter>
     <meta-data
             android:name="android.media.tv.metadata.CONTENT_RATING_SYSTEMS"
             android:resource="@xml/tv_content_rating_systems" />
 </receiver>

In the above example, the @xml/tv_content_rating_systems resource refers to an XML resource whose root element is <rating-system-definitions> that contains zero or more <rating-system-definition> elements. Each <rating-system-definition> element specifies the ratings, sub-ratings and rating orders of a particular content rating system.

Constant Value: "android.media.tv.action.QUERY_CONTENT_RATING_SYSTEMS"

ACTION_SETUP_INPUTS

String ACTION_SETUP_INPUTS

INPUT_STATE_DISCONNECTED

int INPUT_STATE_DISCONNECTED

RECORDING_ERROR_UNKNOWN

int RECORDING_ERROR_UNKNOWN

Error for notifyError(int) and onError(int): The requested operation cannot be completed due to a problem that does not fit under any other error codes, or the error code for the problem is defined on the higher version than application's android:targetSdkVersion.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

TIME_SHIFT_INVALID_TIME

TIME_SHIFT_STATUS_AVAILABLE

int TIME_SHIFT_STATUS_AVAILABLE

Status for notifyTimeShiftStatusChanged(int) and onTimeShiftStatusChanged(String, int): Time shifting is currently available. In this status, the application assumes it can pause/resume playback, seek to a specified time position and set playback rate and audio mode.

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

TIME_SHIFT_STATUS_UNAVAILABLE

int TIME_SHIFT_STATUS_UNAVAILABLE

Status for notifyTimeShiftStatusChanged(int) and onTimeShiftStatusChanged(String, int): Time shifting is currently unavailable but might work again later.

getInputState

int getInputState (String inputId)

Returns the state of a given TV input.

The state is one of the following:

• INPUT_STATE_CONNECTED
• INPUT_STATE_CONNECTED_STANDBY
• INPUT_STATE_DISCONNECTED

getTvInputInfo

TvInputInfo getTvInputInfo (String inputId)

Returns the TvInputInfo for a given TV input.

getTvInputList

List<TvInputInfo> getTvInputList ()

Returns the complete list of TV inputs on the system.

isParentalControlsEnabled

boolean isParentalControlsEnabled ()

Returns the user's parental controls enabled state.

isRatingBlocked

boolean isRatingBlocked (TvContentRating rating)

Checks whether a given TV content rating is blocked by the user.

registerCallback

void registerCallback (TvInputManager.TvInputCallback callback, 
                Handler handler)

Registers a TvInputManager.TvInputCallback.

unregisterCallback

void unregisterCallback (TvInputManager.TvInputCallback callback)

Unregisters the existing TvInputManager.TvInputCallback.

updateTvInputInfo

void updateTvInputInfo (TvInputInfo inputInfo)

Updates the TvInputInfo for an existing TV input. A TV input service implementation may call this method to pass the application and system an up-to-date TvInputInfo object that describes itself.

The system automatically creates a TvInputInfo object for each TV input, based on the information collected from the AndroidManifest.xml, thus it is not necessary to call this method unless such information has changed dynamically. Use TvInputInfo.Builder to build a new TvInputInfo object.

Attempting to change information about a TV input that the calling package does not own does nothing.
