This change selects the best suited media button receiver component and pending intent when creating the legacy session. This is important to ensure that a service can be started with a media button event from BT headsets after the app has been terminated. The `MediaSessionLegacyStub` selects the best suited receiver to be passed to the `MediaSessionCompat` constructor. 1. When the app has declared a broadcast receiver for `ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON` in the manifest, this broadcast receiver is used. 2. When the session is housed in a service, the service component is used as a fallback. 3. As a last resort a receiver is created at runtime. When the `MediaSessionLegacyStub` is released, the media button receiver is removed unless the app has provided a media button receiver in the manifest. In this case we assume the app supports resuming when the BT play intent arrives at `MediaSessionService.onStartCommand`. #minor-release Issue: androidx/media#167 Issue: androidx/media#27 Issue: androidx/media#314 PiperOrigin-RevId: 523638051
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.
