TvInputManager

Broadcast intent action when the user blocked content ratings change. For use with the isRatingBlocked(TvContentRating).

Broadcast intent action when the parental controls enabled state changes. For use with the isParentalControlsEnabled().

Broadcast intent action used to query available content rating systems.

The TV input manager service locates available content rating systems by querying broadcast receivers that are registered for this action. An application can offer additional content rating systems to the user by declaring a suitable broadcast receiver in its manifest.

Here is an example broadcast receiver declaration that an application might include in its AndroidManifest.xml to advertise custom content rating systems. The meta-data specifies a resource that contains a description of each content rating system that is provided by the application.

 <receiver android:name=".TvInputReceiver">
     <intent-filter>
         <action android:name=
                 "android.media.tv.action.QUERY_CONTENT_RATING_SYSTEMS" />
     </intent-filter>
     <meta-data
             android:name="android.media.tv.metadata.CONTENT_RATING_SYSTEMS"
             android:resource="@xml/tv_content_rating_systems" />
 </receiver>

In the above example, the @xml/tv_content_rating_systems resource refers to an XML resource whose root element is <rating-system-definitions> that contains zero or more <rating-system-definition> elements. Each <rating-system-definition> element specifies the ratings, sub-ratings and rating orders of a particular content rating system.

The TV input is connected.

This state indicates that a source device is connected to the input port and is in the normal operation mode. It is mostly relevant to hardware inputs such as HDMI input. This is the default state for any hardware inputs where their states are unknown. Non-hardware inputs are considered connected all the time.

The TV input is connected but in standby mode.

This state indicates that a source device is connected to the input port but is in standby mode. It is mostly relevant to hardware inputs such as HDMI input.

The TV input is disconnected.

This state indicates that a source device is disconnected from the input port. It is mostly relevant to hardware inputs such as HDMI input.
