State Diagram

* *

Playback control of audio/video files and streams is managed as a state * machine. The following diagram shows the life cycle and the states of a * MediaPlayer object driven by the supported playback control operations. * The ovals represent the states a MediaPlayer object may reside * in. The arcs represent the playback control operations that drive the object * state transition. There are two types of arcs. The arcs with a single arrow * head represent synchronous method calls, while those with * a double arrow head represent asynchronous method calls.
