This library (com.android.media.remotedisplay.jar) is a shared java library
|
|
containing classes required by unbundled remote display providers.
|
|
|
|
--- Rules of this library ---
|
|
o This library is effectively a PUBLIC API for unbundled remote display providers
|
|
that may be distributed outside the system image. So it MUST BE API STABLE.
|
|
You can add but not remove. The rules are the same as for the
|
|
public platform SDK API.
|
|
o This library can see and instantiate internal platform classes, but it must not
|
|
expose them in any public method (or by extending them via inheritance). This would
|
|
break clients of the library because they cannot see the internal platform classes.
|
|
|
|
This library is distributed in the system image, and loaded as
|
|
a shared library. So you can change the implementation, but not
|
|
the interface. In this way it is like framework.jar.
|
|
|
|
--- Why does this library exists? ---
|
|
|
|
Unbundled remote display providers (such as Cast) cannot use internal
|
|
platform classes.
|
|
|
|
This library will eventually be replaced when the media route provider
|
|
infrastructure that is currently defined in the support library is reintegrated
|
|
with the framework in a new API. That API isn't ready yet so this
|
|
library is a compromise to make new capabilities available to the system
|
|
without exposing the full surface area of the support library media
|
|
route provider protocol.
