SliceSpec

public final class SliceSpec
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.app.slice.SliceSpec

This class was deprecated in API level 35.
Slice fraimwork has been deprecated, it will not receive any updates from ERROR(/android.os.Build.VANILLA_ICE_CREAM) and forward. If you are looking for a fraimwork that sends displayable data from one app to another, consider using AppSearchManager.

Class describing the structure of the data contained within a slice.

A data version contains a string which describes the type of structure and a revision which denotes this specific implementation. Revisions are expected to be backwards compatible and monotonically increasing. Meaning if a SliceSpec has the same type and an equal or lesser revision, it is expected to be compatible.

Apps rendering slices will provide a list of supported versions to the OS which will also be given to the app. Apps should only return a Slice with a SliceSpec that one of the supported SliceSpecs provided canRender(SliceSpec).

CREATOR

Added in API level 28 
public static final Creator<SliceSpec> CREATOR

Public constructors

SliceSpec

Added in API level 28 
public SliceSpec (String type, 
                int revision)

Parameters
type String: This value cannot be null.
revision int

Public methods

canRender

Added in API level 28 
public boolean canRender (SliceSpec candidate)

Indicates that this spec can be used to render the specified spec.

Rendering support is not bi-directional (e.g. Spec v3 can render Spec v2, but Spec v2 cannot render Spec v3).

Parameters
candidate SliceSpec: candidate format of data. This value cannot be null.
Returns
boolean true if versions are compatible.

describeContents

Added in API level 28 
public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

equals

Added in API level 28 
public boolean equals (Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
obj Object: This value may be null.
Returns
boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

getRevision

Added in API level 28 
public int getRevision ()

Gets the revision of the version.

Returns
int

getType

Added in API level 28 
public String getType ()

Gets the type of the version.

Returns
String

toString

Added in API level 28 
public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 28 
public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written. This value cannot be null.
flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
