Public Constructors

public DrmManagerClient (Context context)

Added in API level 11

Creates a DrmManagerClient.

Parameters
context Context of the caller.

Public Methods

public DrmInfo acquireDrmInfo (DrmInfoRequest drmInfoRequest)

Added in API level 11

Retrieves information for registering, unregistering, or acquiring rights.

Parameters
drmInfoRequest The DrmInfoRequest that specifies the type of DRM information being retrieved.
Returns

public int acquireRights (DrmInfoRequest drmInfoRequest)

Added in API level 11

Processes a given DrmInfoRequest and returns the rights information asynchronously.

This is a utility method that consists of an acquireDrmInfo() and a processDrmInfo() method call. This utility method can be used only if the selected DRM plug-in (agent) supports this sequence of calls. Some DRM agents, such as OMA, do not support this utility method, in which case an application must invoke acquireDrmInfo() and processDrmInfo() separately.

Parameters
drmInfoRequest The DrmInfoRequest used to acquire the rights.
Returns
  • ERROR_NONE for success; ERROR_UNKNOWN for failure.

public boolean canHandle (Uri uri, String mimeType)

Added in API level 11

Checks whether the given MIME type or URI can be handled.

Parameters
uri URI for the content to be handled.
mimeType MIME type of the object to be handled
Returns
  • True if the given MIME type or URI can be handled; false if they cannot be handled.

public boolean canHandle (String path, String mimeType)

Added in API level 11

Checks whether the given MIME type or path can be handled.

Parameters
path Path of the content to be handled.
mimeType MIME type of the object to be handled.
Returns
  • True if the given MIME type or path can be handled; false if they cannot be handled.

public int checkRightsStatus (String path)

Added in API level 11

Checks whether the given content has valid rights.

Parameters
path Path to the rights-protected content.
Returns

public int checkRightsStatus (String path, int action)

Added in API level 11

Checks whether the given rights-protected content has valid rights for the specified DrmStore.Action.

Parameters
path Path to the rights-protected content.
action The DrmStore.Action to perform.
Returns

public int checkRightsStatus (Uri uri, int action)

Added in API level 11

public int checkRightsStatus (Uri uri)

Added in API level 11

Check whether the given content has valid rights.

Parameters
uri URI of the rights-protected content.
Returns

public DrmConvertedStatus closeConvertSession (int convertId)

Added in API level 11

Informs the DRM plug-in (agent) that there is no more data to convert or that an error has occurred. Upon successful conversion of the data, the DRM agent will provide an offset value indicating where the header and body signature should be added. Appending the signature is necessary to protect the integrity of the converted file.

Parameters
convertId Handle for the conversion session.
Returns
  • A DrmConvertedStatus object that contains the status of the data conversion, the converted data, and the offset for the header and body signature.

public DrmConvertedStatus convertData (int convertId, byte[] inputData)

Added in API level 11

Converts the input data (content) that is part of a rights-protected file. The converted data and status is returned in a DrmConvertedStatus object. This method should be called each time there is a new block of data received by the application.

Parameters
convertId Handle for the conversion session.
inputData Input data that needs to be converted.
Returns
  • A DrmConvertedStatus object that contains the status of the data conversion, the converted data, and offset for the header and body signature. An application can ignore the offset because it is only relevant to the closeConvertSession() method.

public String[] getAvailableDrmEngines ()

Added in API level 11

Retrieves information about all the DRM plug-ins (agents) that are registered with the DRM framework.

Returns
  • A String array of DRM plug-in descriptions.

public ContentValues getConstraints (String path, int action)

Added in API level 11

public ContentValues getConstraints (Uri uri, int action)

Added in API level 11

Retrieves constraint information for rights-protected content.

Parameters
uri URI for the content from which you are retrieving DRM constraints.

Parameters
uri URI for the content or null.
mimeType MIME type of the content or null.
Returns

public int getDrmObjectType (String path, String mimeType)

Added in API level 11

Retrieves the type of rights-protected object (for example, content object, rights object, and so on) using the specified path or MIME type. At least one parameter must be specified to retrieve the DRM object type.

Parameters
path Path to the content or null.
mimeType MIME type of the content or null.
Returns

public ContentValues getMetadata (Uri uri)

Added in API level 11

Retrieves metadata information for rights-protected content.

  • A ContentValues instance that contains key-value pairs representing the constraints. Null in case of failure.

public ContentValues getMetadata (String path)

Added in API level 11

Retrieves metadata information for rights-protected content.

Parameters
path Path to the content from which you are retrieving metadata information.
Returns
  • A ContentValues instance that contains key-value pairs representing the metadata. Null in case of failure.

public String getOriginalMimeType (String path)

Added in API level 11

Retrieves the MIME type embedded in the original content.

Parameters
path Path to the rights-protected content.
Returns
  • The MIME type of the original content, such as video/mpeg.

public String getOriginalMimeType (Uri uri)

Added in API level 11

Retrieves the MIME type embedded in the original content.

Parameters
uri URI of the rights-protected content.
Returns
  • MIME type of the original content, such as video/mpeg.

public int openConvertSession (String mimeType)

Added in API level 11

Initiates a new conversion session. An application must initiate a conversion session with this method each time it downloads a rights-protected file that needs to be converted.

This method applies only to forward-locking (copy protection) DRM schemes.

Parameters
mimeType MIME type of the input data packet.
Returns
  • A convert ID that is used used to maintain the conversion session.

public int processDrmInfo (DrmInfo drmInfo)

Added in API level 11

drmInfo The DrmInfo to be processed.
Returns
  • ERROR_NONE for success; ERROR_UNKNOWN for failure.

public void release ()

Added in API level 16

Releases resources associated with the current session of DrmManagerClient. It is considered good practice to call this method when the DrmManagerClient object is no longer needed in your application. After release() is called, DrmManagerClient is no longer usable since it has lost all of its required resource.

Parameters
path Path to the rights-protected content.
Returns
  • ERROR_NONE for success; ERROR_UNKNOWN for failure.

public int removeRights (Uri uri)

Added in API level 11

Removes the rights associated with the given rights-protected content.

Note: For OMA or WM-DRM, rightsPath and contentPath can be null.

Parameters
drmRights The DrmRights to be saved.
rightsPath File path where rights will be saved.
contentPath File path where content is saved.
Returns
  • ERROR_NONE for success; ERROR_UNKNOWN for failure.

Parameters
eventListener Interface definition for the callback.

public synchronized void setOnInfoListener (DrmManagerClient.OnInfoListener infoListener)

Added in API level 11

Protected Methods

protected void finalize ()

Added in API level 11

Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. The default implementation does nothing, but this method can be overridden to free resources.

Note that objects that override finalize are significantly more expensive than objects that don't. Finalizers may be run a long time after the object is no longer reachable, depending on memory pressure, so it's a bad idea to rely on them for cleanup. Note also that finalizers are run on a single VM-wide finalizer thread, so doing blocking work in a finalizer is a bad idea. A finalizer is usually only necessary for a class that has a native peer and needs to call a native method to destroy that peer. Even then, it's better to provide an explicit close method (and implement Closeable), and insist that callers manually dispose of instances. This works well for something like files, but less well for something like a BigInteger where typical calling code would have to deal with lots of temporaries. Unfortunately, code that creates lots of temporaries is the worst kind of code from the point of view of the single finalizer thread.

If you must use finalizers, consider at least providing your own ReferenceQueue and having your own thread process that queue.

Unlike constructors, finalizers are not automatically chained. You are responsible for calling super.finalize() yourself.

Uncaught exceptions thrown by finalizers are ignored and do not terminate the finalizer thread. See Effective Java Item 7, "Avoid finalizers" for more.

Throws
Throwable
