1 Android MediaBrowserService Sample
2 ===================================
3
4 This sample shows how to implement an audio media app that provides
5 media library metadata and playback controls through a standard
6 service. It exposes a simple music library through the new
7 MediaBrowserService and provides MediaSession callbacks. This allows
8 it to be used in Android Auto, for example.
9 When not connected to a car, the app has a very simple UI that browses
10 the media library and provides simple playback controls. When
11 connected to Android Auto, the same service provides data and callback
12 to the Android Auto UI in the same manner as it provides them to the
13 local UI.
