Media API reference

extensionVersion
The extensionVersion() API returns the version of the Media extension that is registered with the Mobile Core extension.
To get the version of the Media extension, use the following code sample:
Android
iOS (AEP 3.x)
iOS (ACP 2.x)
React Native
Java
String mediaExtensionVersion = Media.extensionVersion();
Swift
Syntax
static var extensionVersion: String
Example
let mediaExtensionVersion  = Media.extensionVersion()
Objective-C
Syntax
+ (nonnull NSString*) extensionVersion;
Example
NSString *mediaExtensionVersion = [AEPMobileMedia extensionVersion];
Swift
Syntax
+ (nonnull NSString*) extensionVersion;
Example
let mediaExtensionVersion  = ACPMedia.extensionVersion()
Objective-C
Syntax
+ (NSString * _Nonnull)extensionVersion
Example
NSString *mediaExtensionVersion = [ACPMedia extensionVersion];
JavaScript
ACPMedia.extensionVersion().then(mediaExtensionVersion => console.log("AdobeExperienceSDK: ACPMedia version: " + mediaExtensionVersion));
createTracker
The API createTracker with callback has been deprecated for the synchronous version
Creates a media tracker instance that tracks the playback session. The tracker created should be used to track the streaming content and it sends periodic pings to the media analytics backend.
Android
iOS (AEP 3.x)
iOS (ACP 2.x)
React Native
The createTracker function returns the instance of MediaTracker for tracking a media session. The createTracker function with callback as a parameter has been deprecated.
If MobileCore.resetIdentities() is called in the implementation, the existing tracker will stop sending pings. You will need to create a new tracker to generate a new media session.
Java
Syntax
public static MediaTracker createTracker()
​
// Deprecated
public static void createTracker(AdobeCallback<MediaTracker> callback)
Example
MediaTracker mediaTracker = Media.createTracker();  // Use the instance for tracking media.
​
// Deprecated
Media.createTracker(new AdobeCallback<MediaTracker>() {
    @Override
    public void call(MediaTracker mediaTracker) {
        // Use the instance for tracking media.
    }
});

ACPMedia.createTracker().then(tracker =>
  this.setState({currentTracker: tracker})
);
createTrackerWithConfig
