- Method Detail
  - getMetadata
```
android.support.v4.media.MediaMetadataCompat getMetadata(Player player)
```
    Gets the MediaMetadataCompat to be published to the session.
    An app may need to load metadata resources like artwork bitmaps asynchronously. In such a case the app should return a MediaMetadataCompat object that does not contain these resources as a placeholder. The app should start an asynchronous operation to download the bitmap and put it into a cache. Finally, the app should call MediaSessionConnector.invalidateMediaSessionMetadata(). This causes this callback to be called again and the app can now return a MediaMetadataCompat object with all the resources included.
    
    Parameters:
    
    player - The player connected to the media session.
    
    Returns:
    
    The MediaMetadataCompat to be published to the session.
  - sameAs
```
default boolean sameAs(android.support.v4.media.MediaMetadataCompat oldMetadata,
                       android.support.v4.media.MediaMetadataCompat newMetadata)
```
    Returns whether the old and the new metadata are considered the same.
