Public methods

getComplexityRange

Added in API level 21
fun getComplexityRange(): Range<Int!>!

Returns the supported range of encoder complexity values.

Some codecs may support multiple complexity levels, where higher complexity values use more encoder tools (e.g. perform more intensive calculations) to improve the quality or the compression ratio. Use a lower value to save power and/or time.

getQualityRange

Added in API level 28
fun getQualityRange(): Range<Int!>!

Returns the supported range of quality values. Quality is implementation-specific. As a general rule, a higher quality setting results in a better image quality and a lower compression ratio.

isBitrateModeSupported

Added in API level 21
fun isBitrateModeSupported(mode: Int): Boolean

Query whether a bitrate mode is supported.
