SubtitleData

public final class SubtitleData
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.media.SubtitleData

Class encapsulating subtitle data, as received through the MediaPlayer.OnSubtitleDataListener interface. The subtitle data includes:

the track index
the start time (in microseconds) of the data
the duration (in microseconds) of the data
the actual data.

The data is stored in a byte-array, and is encoded in one of the supported in-band subtitle formats. The subtitle encoding is determined by the MIME type of the MediaPlayer.TrackInfo of the subtitle track, one of MediaFormat.MIMETYPE_TEXT_CEA_608, MediaFormat.MIMETYPE_TEXT_CEA_708, MediaFormat.MIMETYPE_TEXT_VTT.

Here is an example of iterating over the tracks of a MediaPlayer, and checking which encoding is used for the subtitle tracks:

 MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); mp.setDataSource(myContentLocation); mp.prepare(); // synchronous prepare, ready to use when method returns final TrackInfo[] trackInfos = mp.getTrackInfo(); for (TrackInfo info : trackInfo) { if (info.getTrackType() == TrackInfo.MEDIA_TRACK_TYPE_SUBTITLE) { final String mime = info.getFormat().getString(MediaFormat.KEY_MIME); if (MediaFormat.MIMETYPE_TEXT_CEA_608.equals(mime) { // subtitle encoding is CEA 608 } else if (MediaFormat.MIMETYPE_TEXT_CEA_708.equals(mime) { // subtitle encoding is CEA 708 } else if (MediaFormat.MIMETYPE_TEXT_VTT.equals(mime) { // subtitle encoding is WebVTT } } }

See MediaPlayer.setOnSubtitleDataListener(android.media.MediaPlayer.OnSubtitleDataListener, android.os.Handler) to receive subtitle data from a MediaPlayer object.
