CREATOR

Added in API level 26
public static final Creator<NotificationChannelGroup> CREATOR

Public constructors

NotificationChannelGroup

Added in API level 26
public NotificationChannelGroup (String id, 
                CharSequence name)

Creates a notification channel group.

Parameters
id String: The id of the group. Must be unique per package. the value may be truncated if it is too long.

name CharSequence: The user visible name of the group. You can rename this group when the system locale changes by listening for the Intent#ACTION_LOCALE_CHANGED broadcast.

The recommended maximum length is 40 characters; the value may be truncated if it is too long.

Public methods

clone

Added in API level 26
public NotificationChannelGroup clone ()

Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any object x, the expression:

 x.clone() != x
will be true, and that the expression:
 x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()
will be true, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is typically the case that:
 x.clone().equals(x)
will be true, this is not an absolute requirement.

By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling super.clone. If a class and all of its superclasses (except Object) obey this convention, it will be the case that x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass().

By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by super.clone before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned by super.clone need to be modified.

Returns
NotificationChannelGroup a clone of this instance.

describeContents

Added in API level 26
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 26
public boolean equals (Object o)

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
o Object: This value may be null.

Returns
boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

getChannels

Added in API level 26
public List<NotificationChannel> getChannels ()

Returns the list of channels that belong to this group

Returns
List<NotificationChannel>

getDescription

Added in API level 28
public String getDescription ()

Returns the user visible description of this group.

Returns
String

getId

Added in API level 26
public String getId ()

Returns the id of this group.

Returns
String

getName

Added in API level 26
public CharSequence getName ()

Returns the user visible name of this group.

Returns
CharSequence

hashCode

Added in API level 26
public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

Returns
int a hash code value for this object.

isBlocked

Added in API level 28
public boolean isBlocked ()

Returns whether or not notifications posted to channels belonging to this group are blocked. This value is independent of NotificationManager#areNotificationsEnabled() and NotificationChannel#getImportance().

Returns
boolean

setDescription

Added in API level 28
public void setDescription (String description)

Sets the user visible description of this group.

The recommended maximum length is 300 characters; the value may be truncated if it is too long.

Parameters
description String

toString

Added in API level 26
public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 26
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
