Equalizer

open class Equalizer : AudioEffect
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.media.audiofx.AudioEffect
   ↳ android.media.audiofx.Equalizer

An Equalizer is used to alter the frequency response of a particular music source or of the main output mix.

An application creates an Equalizer object to instantiate and control an Equalizer engine in the audio framework. The application can either simply use predefined presets or have a more precise control of the gain in each frequency band controlled by the equalizer.

The methods, parameter types and units exposed by the Equalizer implementation are directly mapping those defined by the OpenSL ES 1.0.1 Specification (http://www.khronos.org/opensles/) for the SLEqualizerItf interface. Please refer to this specification for more details.

To attach the Equalizer to a particular AudioTrack or MediaPlayer, specify the audio session ID of this AudioTrack or MediaPlayer when constructing the Equalizer.

NOTE: attaching an Equalizer to the global audio output mix by use of session 0 is deprecated.

See android.media.MediaPlayer#getAudioSessionId() for details on audio sessions.

See android.media.audiofx.AudioEffect class for more details on controlling audio effects.

Public constructors

Equalizer

Added in API level 9
Equalizer(
    priority: Int,
    audioSession: Int)

Class constructor.

Parameters
priority Int: the priority level requested by the application for controlling the Equalizer engine. As the same engine can be shared by several applications, this parameter indicates how much the requesting application needs control of effect parameters. The normal priority is 0, above normal is a positive number, below normal a negative number.
audioSession Int: system wide unique audio session identifier. The Equalizer will be attached to the MediaPlayer or AudioTrack in the same audio session.
