MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities

extends Object
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.media.MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities

Class Overview

Encapsulates the capabilities of a given codec component. For example, what profile/level combinations it supports and what colorspaces it is capable of providing the decoded data in, as well as some codec-type specific capability flags.

You can get an instance for a given MediaCodecInfo object with getCapabilitiesForType(), passing a MIME type.
