Media route providers are used to publish additional media routes for use within an application. Media route providers may also be declared as a service to publish additional media routes to all applications in the system.
The purpose of a media route provider is to discover media routes that satisfy
the criteria specified by the current MediaRouteDiscoveryRequest
and publish a
MediaRouteProviderDescriptor
with information about each route by calling
setDescriptor(MediaRouteProviderDescriptor)
to notify the currently registered MediaRouteProvider.Callback
.
The provider should watch for changes to the discovery request by implementing
onDiscoveryRequestChanged(MediaRouteDiscoveryRequest)
and updating the set of routes that it is
attempting to discover. It should also handle route control requests such
as volume changes or media control intents
by implementing onCreateRouteController(String)
to return a MediaRouteProvider.RouteController
for a particular route.
A media route provider may be used privately within the scope of a single
application process by calling MediaRouter.addProvider
to add it to the local MediaRouter
. A media route provider may also be made
available globally to all applications by registering a MediaRouteProviderService
in the provider's manifest. When the media route provider is registered
as a service, all applications that use the media router API will be able to
discover and used the provider's routes without having to install anything else.

context | The context. |

Gets the provider's descriptor.
The descriptor describes the state of the media route provider and
the routes that it publishes. Watch for changes to the descriptor
by registering a callback
with setCallback(MediaRouteProvider.Callback)
.
Gets the current discovery request which informs the provider about the kinds of routes to discover and whether to perform active scanning.
Gets the provider's handler which is associated with the main thread.
Gets some metadata about the provider's implementation.
Called by the media router to obtain a route controller for a particular route.
The media router will invoke the onRelease()
method of the route
controller when it is no longer needed to allow it to free its resources.
routeId | The unique id of the route. |

Called by the media router when the discovery request
has changed.
Whenever an applications calls addCallback(MediaRouteSelector, MediaRouter.Callback)
to register
a callback, it also provides a selector to specify the kinds of routes that
it is interested in. The media router combines all of these selectors together
to generate a MediaRouteDiscoveryRequest
and notifies each provider when a change
occurs by calling setDiscoveryRequest(MediaRouteDiscoveryRequest)
which posts a message to invoke
this method asynchronously.
The provider should examine the media control categories
in the discovery request's selector
to determine what
kinds of routes it should try to discover and whether it should perform active
or passive scans. In many cases, the provider may be able to save power by
determining that the selector does not contain any categories that it supports
and it can therefore avoid performing any scans at all.
