Radio

Tizen provides functions for controlling radio hardware on your system.

The main features of the Radio API include:

• Switching the radio on and off
• Seeking radio frequency
• Scanning radio signals
• Setting the state of the radio

A handle for radio instance is created using the radio_create() function. A successful creation of the handle requires a radio tuner. You can switch the radio on and off using the radio_start() and radio_stop() functions. Select the radio frequency using the radio_set_frequency() function or radio_seek_up() and radio_seek_down() functions.

The Radio API allows only one instance at the time. Radio playback can be interrupted by another radio application.

The following figure illustrates the general radio state changes.
