Public constructors

TvRecordingClient

Added in API level 24
TvRecordingClient (Context context, 
                String tag, 
                TvRecordingClient.RecordingCallback callback, 
                Handler handler)

Creates a new TvRecordingClient object.

Parameters
context Context: The application context to create a TvRecordingClient with.
tag String: A short name for debugging purposes.
callback TvRecordingClient.RecordingCallback: The callback to receive recording status changes.
handler Handler: The handler to invoke the callback on.

Public methods

release

Added in API level 24
void release ()

Releases the resources in the current recording session immediately. This may be called at any time, however if the session is already released, it does nothing.

sendAppPrivateCommand

Added in API level 24
void sendAppPrivateCommand (String action, 
                Bundle data)

Sends a private command to the underlying TV input. This can be used to provide domain-specific features that are only known between certain clients and their TV inputs.

Parameters
action String: The name of the private command to send. This must be a scoped name, i.e. prefixed with a package name you own, so that different developers will not create conflicting commands.
data Bundle: An optional bundle to send with the command.

startRecording

Added in API level 24
void startRecording (Uri programUri)

Starts TV program recording in the current recording session. Recording is expected to start immediately when this method is called. If the current recording session has not yet tuned to any channel, this method throws an exception.

The application may supply the URI for a TV program for filling in program specific data fields in the TvContract.RecordedPrograms table. A non-null programUri implies the started recording should be of that specific program, whereas null programUri does not impose such a requirement and the recording can span across multiple TV programs. In either case, the application must call stopRecording() to stop the recording.

The recording session will respond by calling onError(int) if the start request cannot be fulfilled.

Parameters
programUri Uri: The URI for the TV program to record, built by buildProgramUri(long). Can be null.
Throws
IllegalStateException If tune(String, Uri) request hasn't been handled yet.

stopRecording

Added in API level 24
void stopRecording ()

Stops TV program recording in the current recording session. Recording is expected to stop immediately when this method is called. If recording has not yet started in the current recording session, this method does nothing.

The recording session is expected to create a new data entry in the TvContract.RecordedPrograms table that describes the newly recorded program and pass the URI to that entry through to onRecordingStopped(Uri). If the stop request cannot be fulfilled, the recording session will respond by calling onError(int).

tune

Added in API level 24
void tune (String inputId, 
                Uri channelUri, 
                Bundle params)

Tunes to a given channel for TV program recording. The first tune request will create a new recording session for the corresponding TV input and establish a connection between the application and the session. If recording has already started in the current recording session, this method throws an exception. This can be used to provide domain-specific features that are only known between certain client and their TV inputs.

The application may call this method before starting or after stopping recording, but not during recording.

The recording session will respond by calling onTuned(Uri) if the tune request was fulfilled, or onError(int) otherwise.

Parameters
inputId String: The ID of the TV input for the given channel.
channelUri Uri: The URI of a channel.
params Bundle: Domain-specific data for this tune request. Keys must be a scoped name, i.e. prefixed with a package name you own, so that different developers will not create conflicting keys.
Throws
IllegalStateException If recording is already started.

tune

Added in API level 24
void tune (String inputId, 
                Uri channelUri)

Tunes to a given channel for TV program recording. The first tune request will create a new recording session for the corresponding TV input and establish a connection between the application and the session. If recording has already started in the current recording session, this method throws an exception.

The application may call this method before starting or after stopping recording, but not during recording.

The recording session will respond by calling onTuned(Uri) if the tune request was fulfilled, or onError(int) otherwise.

Parameters
inputId String: The ID of the TV input for the given channel.
channelUri Uri: The URI of a channel.
Throws
IllegalStateException If recording is already started.

Hooray!
