MediaController tries to release itself when the binder to the session becomes unavailable. However, if such thing happens while connecting in the constructor, it causes NPE when accessing MediaControllerImpl which is only initialized after it's connected. This fixes random failures in existing tests. PiperOrigin-RevId: 421423381
Session module
This module provides media session functionality through which media information and controls can be exposed to the Android platform, as well as to other processes and applications.
Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-session:1.X.X'
where 1.X.X
is the version, which must match the version of the other media
modules being used.
Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.
