Android Multimedia Framework Architecture - Simplified Notes

1. Java Layer (Application Level)

- MediaPlayer - Used to play audio/video.

- MediaRecorder - Used to record audio/video.

- These classes are part of the Android SDK and used directly by developers.

2. Media JNI (Java Native Interface)

- Acts as a bridge between Java code and native C/C++ libraries.

- Translates Java calls into native calls for performance.

3. Native C Libraries

- Handle low-level processing like:

* Media encoding/decoding

* Format handling

* Codec implementation

4. Media Server (System Service)

- Coordinates multimedia tasks.

- Ensures secure and efficient access to hardware resources.

- Interfaces with media components like PV modules.

5. PV Components (OpenCORE-Based)

- PV Player - Handles media playback.

- PV Author - Handles media recording (authoring).

- These are native components that work behind the scenes.


6. IMediaPlayer & IMediaRecorder

- Internal interfaces between Media Framework and Media Server.

- Allow asynchronous and inter-process communication.
