Channel

Kotlin |Java

class Channel

kotlin.Any
↳	androidx.tvprovider.media.tv.Channel

A convenience class to access TvContractCompat.Channels entries in the system content provider.

This class makes it easy to insert or retrieve a channel from the system content provider, which is defined in TvContractCompat.

Usage example when inserting a channel:

Channel channel = new Channel.Builder()
          .setDisplayName("Channel Name")
          .setDescription("Channel description")
          .setType(Channels.TYPE_PREVIEW)
          // Set more attributes...
          .build();
  Uri channelUri = getContentResolver().insert(Channels.CONTENT_URI, channel.toContentValues());

Usage example when retrieving a channel:

Channel channel;
  try (Cursor cursor = resolver.query(channelUri, null, null, null, null)) {
      if (cursor != null && cursor.getCount() != 0) {
          cursor.moveToNext();
          channel = Channel.fromCursor(cursor);
      }
  }

Usage example when updating an existing channel:

Channel updatedChannel = new Channel.Builder(channel)
          .setDescription("New channel description")
          .build();
  getContentResolver().update(TvContractCompat.buildChannelUri(updatedChannel.getId()),
          updatedChannel.toContentValues(), null, null);

Usage example when deleting a channel:

getContentResolver().delete(
          TvContractCompat.buildChannelUri(existingChannel.getId()), null, null);
