Classes

Name	Description
Control	Represents a physical object that can be represented by a `ControlTemplate` and whose properties may be modified through a `ControlAction`.
Control.InterfaceConsts	Provides the parcelable interface constants exposed through the control binding.
Control.StatefulBuilder	Builder class for `Control` that contains state information.
Control.StatelessBuilder	Builder class for `Control`.
ControlsProviderService	Service implementation allowing applications to contribute controls to the System UI.

Enums

Name	Description
ControlsSurface	Specifies where Android displays device controls.
ControlStatus	Specifies the result of retrieving a control's current device state.
DeviceType	Specifies the device category used to select a control's default icon and color.

Remarks

Implement ControlsProviderService to supply controls and handle user actions. Use Control.StatelessBuilder for discovery and suggestions, and Control.StatefulBuilder for current-state updates. Publishers must respect subscription demand. Send action response codes through the supplied consumer and publish visible state changes separately. Controls require device unlock by default; disabling this requirement does not override the user setting for actions on a locked device. Supply an activity pending intent for interactions beyond the control template.
