MediaDrm


class MediaDrm : AutoCloseable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.media.MediaDrm

MediaDrm can be used to obtain keys for decrypting protected media streams, in conjunction with android.media.MediaCrypto. The MediaDrm APIs are designed to support the ISO/IEC 23001-7: Common Encryption standard, but may also be used to implement other encryption schemes.

Encrypted content is prepared using an encryption server and stored in a content library. The encrypted content is streamed or downloaded from the content library to client devices via content servers. Licenses to view the content are obtained from a License Server.

Keys are requested from the license server using a key request. The key response is delivered to the client app, which provides the response to the MediaDrm API.

A Provisioning server may be required to distribute device-unique credentials to the devices.

Enforcing requirements related to the number of devices that may play content simultaneously can be performed either through key renewal or using the secure stop methods.

The following sequence diagram shows the interactions between the objects involved while playing back encrypted content:

The app first constructs android.media.MediaExtractor and android.media.MediaCodec objects. It accesses the DRM-scheme-identifying UUID, typically from metadata in the content, and uses this UUID to construct an instance of a MediaDrm object that is able to support the DRM scheme required by the content. Crypto schemes are assigned 16 byte UUIDs. The method #isCryptoSchemeSupported can be used to query if a given scheme is supported on the device.

The app calls #openSession to generate a sessionId that will uniquely identify the session in subsequent interactions. The app next uses the MediaDrm object to obtain a key request message and send it to the license server, then provide the server's response to the MediaDrm object.

Once the app has a sessionId, it can construct a MediaCrypto object from the UUID and sessionId. The MediaCrypto object is registered with the MediaCodec in the android.media.MediaCodec#configure method to enable the codec to decrypt content.

When the app has constructed android.media.MediaExtractor, android.media.MediaCodec and android.media.MediaCrypto objects, it proceeds to pull samples from the extractor and queue them into the decoder. For encrypted content, the samples returned from the extractor remain encrypted, they are only decrypted when the samples are delivered to the decoder.

MediaDrm methods throw android.media.MediaDrm.MediaDrmStateException when a method is called on a MediaDrm object that has had an unrecoverable failure in the DRM plugin or security hardware. android.media.MediaDrm.MediaDrmStateException extends java.lang.IllegalStateException with the addition of a developer-readable diagnostic information string associated with the exception.

In the event of a mediaserver process crash or restart while a MediaDrm object is active, MediaDrm methods may throw android.media.MediaDrmResetException. To recover, the app must release the MediaDrm object, then create and initialize a new one.

As android.media.MediaDrmResetException and android.media.MediaDrm.MediaDrmStateException both extend java.lang.IllegalStateException, they should be in an earlier catch() block than java.lang.IllegalStateException if handled separately.

Callbacks

Applications should register for informational events in order to be informed of key state updates during playback or streaming. Registration for these events is done via a call to #setOnEventListener. In order to receive the respective callback associated with this listener, applications are required to create MediaDrm objects on a thread with its own Looper running (main UI thread by default has a Looper running).

Summary

Nested classes

In addition to supporting decryption of DASH Common Encrypted Media, the MediaDrm APIs provide the ability to securely deliver session keys from an operator's session key server to a client device, based on the factory-installed root of trust, and then perform encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify operations with the session key on arbitrary user data.

After the app has received the key request response from the server, it should deliver to the response to the MediaDrm instance using the method provideKeyResponse.

Parameters
scope ByteArray: may be a sessionId or a keySetId, depending on the specified keyType. When the keyType is KEY_TYPE_STREAMING or KEY_TYPE_OFFLINE, scope should be set to the sessionId the keys will be provided to. When the keyType is KEY_TYPE_RELEASE, scope should be set to the keySetId of the keys being released. Releasing keys from a device invalidates them for all sessions. This value cannot be null.
init ByteArray?: container-specific data, its meaning is interpreted based on the mime type provided in the mimeType parameter. It could contain, for example, the content ID, key ID or other data obtained from the content metadata that is required in generating the key request. May be null when keyType is KEY_TYPE_RELEASE or if the request is a renewal, i.e. not the first key request for the session.
mimeType String?: identifies the mime type of the content. May be null if the keyType is KEY_TYPE_RELEASE or if the request is a renewal, i.e. not the first key request for the session.
keyType Int: specifes the type of the request. The request may be to acquire keys for streaming or offline content, or to release previously acquired keys, which are identified by a keySetId. Value is android.media.MediaDrm#KEY_TYPE_STREAMING, android.media.MediaDrm#KEY_TYPE_OFFLINE, or android.media.MediaDrm#KEY_TYPE_RELEASE
optionalParameters HashMap<String!, String!>?: are included in the key request message to allow a client application to provide additional message parameters to the server. This may be null if no additional parameters are to be sent.

fun getMetrics(): PersistableBundle!

Return Metrics data about the current MediaDrm instance.

Return
PersistableBundle! a PersistableBundle containing the set of attributes and values available for this instance of MediaDrm. The attributes are described in MetricsConstants. Additional vendor-specific fields may also be present in the return value.

getOfflineLicenseKeySetIds

Added in API level 29
fun getOfflineLicenseKeySetIds(): MutableList<ByteArray!>

The keys in an offline license allow protected content to be played even if the device is not connected to a network. Offline licenses are stored on the device after a key request/response exchange when the key request KeyType is OFFLINE. Normally each app is responsible for keeping track of the keySetIds it has created. If an app loses the keySetId for any stored licenses that it created, however, it must be able to recover the stored keySetIds so those licenses can be removed when they expire or when the app is uninstalled.

This method returns a list of the keySetIds for all offline licenses. The offline license keySetId may be used to query the status of an offline license with getOfflineLicenseState or remove it with removeOfflineLicense.

Return
MutableList<ByteArray!> a list of offline license keySetIds This value cannot be null.

getOfflineLicenseState

Added in API level 29
fun getOfflineLicenseState(keySetId: ByteArray): Int

Request the state of an offline license. An offline license may be usable or inactive. The keys in a usable offline license are available for decryption. When the offline license state is inactive, the keys have been marked for release using getKeyRequest with KEY_TYPE_RELEASE but the key response has not been received. The keys in an inactive offline license are not usable for decryption.

Parameters
keySetId ByteArray: selects the offline license This value cannot be null.
Return
Int the offline license state Value is android.media.MediaDrm#OFFLINE_LICENSE_STATE_UNKNOWN, android.media.MediaDrm#OFFLINE_LICENSE_STATE_USABLE, or android.media.MediaDrm#OFFLINE_LICENSE_STATE_RELEASED

getSecureStopIds

Added in API level 28
Deprecated in API level 33
fun getSecureStopIds(): MutableList<ByteArray!>

Deprecated: This method is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Use renewals by calling getKeyRequest to track concurrent playback. See additional information in getSecureStops

Return a list of all secure stop IDs currently in persistent memory. The secure stop ID can be used to access or remove the corresponding secure stop.

Return
MutableList<ByteArray!> a list of secure stop IDs This value cannot be null.

getSecureStops

Added in API level 18
Deprecated in API level 33
fun getSecureStops(): MutableList<ByteArray!>

Deprecated: This method is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Secure stops are a way to enforce limits on the number of concurrent streams per subscriber across devices. They provide secure monitoring of the lifetime of content decryption keys in MediaDrm sessions. Limits on concurrent streams may also be enforced by periodically renewing licenses. This can be achieved by calling getKeyRequest to initiate a renewal. MediaDrm users should transition away from secure stops to periodic renewals.

Secure stops are a way to enforce limits on the number of concurrent streams per subscriber across devices. They provide secure monitoring of the lifetime of content decryption keys in MediaDrm sessions.

A secure stop is written to secure persistent memory when keys are loaded into a MediaDrm session. The secure stop state indicates that the keys are available for use. When playback completes and the keys are removed or the session is destroyed, the secure stop state is updated to indicate that keys are no longer usable.

After playback, the app can query the secure stop and send it in a message to the license server confirming that the keys are no longer active. The license server returns a secure stop release response message to the app which then deletes the secure stop from persistent memory using releaseSecureStops.

Each secure stop has a unique ID that can be used to identify it during enumeration, access and removal.

Return
MutableList<ByteArray!> a list of all secure stops from secure persistent memory This value cannot be null.

openSession

Added in API level 18
fun openSession(): ByteArray

Open a new session with the MediaDrm object. A session ID is returned. By default, sessions are opened at the native security level of the device. If the application is currently running on a android.companion.virtual.VirtualDevice the security level will be adjusted accordingly to the maximum supported level for the display.

openSession

Added in API level 28
fun openSession(level: Int): ByteArray

Open a new session at a requested security level. The security level represents the robustness of the device's DRM implementation. By default, sessions are opened at the native security level of the device. Overriding the security level is necessary when the decrypted frames need to be manipulated, such as for image compositing. The security level parameter must be lower than the native level. Reducing the security level will typically limit the content to lower resolutions, as determined by the license policy. If the requested level is not supported, the next lower supported security level will be set. The level can be queried using getSecurityLevel. A session ID is returned. If the application is currently running on a android.companion.virtual.VirtualDevice the security level will be adjusted accordingly to the maximum supported level for the display.

Parameters
level Int: the new security level Value is android.media.MediaDrm#SECURITY_LEVEL_UNKNOWN, android.media.MediaDrm#SECURITY_LEVEL_SW_SECURE_CRYPTO, android.media.MediaDrm#SECURITY_LEVEL_SW_SECURE_DECODE, android.media.MediaDrm#SECURITY_LEVEL_HW_SECURE_CRYPTO, android.media.MediaDrm#SECURITY_LEVEL_HW_SECURE_DECODE, or android.media.MediaDrm#SECURITY_LEVEL_HW_SECURE_ALL
