AIDL error handling

Starting in Android U (14), libmediadrm (app-side) understands extra error details from AIDL DRM HALs passed through the binder exception message as a json string. The supported fields are:

  • cdmError (int)
  • oemError (int)
  • context (int)
  • errorMessage (str)

The errors details will be reported to apps through the java interface android.media.MediaDrmThrowable. Please see the javadoc of MediaDrmThrowable for detailed definitions of each field above.
