# MediaMetadata

extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳ | com.google.android.gms.cast.MediaMetadata

## Class Overview

Container class for media metadata. Metadata has a media type, an optional list of images, and a collection of metadata fields. Keys for common metadata fields are predefined as constants, but the application is free to define and use additional fields of its own.

The values of the predefined fields have predefined types. For example, a track number is an `int` and a creation date is a `String` containing an ISO-8601 representation of a date and time. Attempting to store a value of an incorrect type in a field will result in a `IllegalArgumentException`.

Note that the Cast protocol limits which metadata fields can be used for a given media type. When a MediaMetadata object is serialized to JSON for delivery to a Cast receiver, any predefined fields which are not supported for a given media type will not be included in the serialized form, but any application-defined fields will always be included.
