   ↳ com.google.android.gms.cast.framework.media.uicontroller.UIMediaController

Class Overview

A UIMediaController lets you bind the state of Android UI components to the state of a remote CastSession. This class simplifies writing a sender UI with playback controls. To use this class, create an instance of this class, then call various bind methods to associate state of your Android UI components to a remote playback control, or the change of the remote playback state or metadata.

When a View is bound to the UIMediaController, on the one hand, UIMediaController will update its UI state according to the CastSession state, the remote playback state or metadata. On the other hand, if the View is bound to a remote playback command (such as "SkipNext" button), UIMediaController will also register relevant listeners to the View so that when the user interacts with the control, the controller will perform the corresponding action.

Take bindViewToSkipNext(View, int) as an example. When a View is bound to the UIMediaController, UIMediaController will update the state of the View based on the status of the CastSession, such that it will only be enabled when the CastSession is connected and there is a next item in the queue. A View.OnClickListener will also be set on the View such that when the View is clicked, the event will be forwarded to onSkipNextClicked(View), whose default behavior is to call queueNext(JSONObject) on the RemoteMediaClient:

 protected void onSkipNextClicked(View view) {
   RemoteMediaClient remoteMediaClient = getRemoteMediaClient();
   if ((remoteMediaClient != null) && remoteMediaClient.hasMediaSession()) {
     remoteMediaClient.queueNext(null /* customData */);
   }
 }
 
If the app needs to perform custom behavior in addition to, or instead of, the default behavior for a given action, it can subclass UIMediaController and override the corresponding event-handling method. For example:
 public class CustomUIMediaController extends UIMediaController {
   // Ommiting other methods.

   @Override
   protected void onSkipNextClicked(View view) {
     doSomeCustomAction();
     super.onSkipNextClicked(view);  // Optional
   }
 }
