AssociationRequest

public final class AssociationRequest
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.companion.AssociationRequest


A request for the user to select a companion device to associate with. You can optionally set filters for which devices to show to the user to select from. The exact type and fields of the filter you can set depend on the medium type. See Builder's static factory methods for specific protocols that are supported. You can also set single device to request a popup with single device to be shown instead of a list to choose from

If specified, the current request may have a modified UI to highlight that the device being set up is a glasses device, and some extra permissions may be granted to the app as a result. Using it requires declaring uses-permission Manifest.permission.REQUEST_COMPANION_PROFILE_GLASSES in the manifest.
Requires Manifest.permission.REQUEST_COMPANION_PROFILE_GLASSES

DEVICE_PROFILE_NEARBY_DEVICE_STREAMING

Added in API level 34
public static final String DEVICE_PROFILE_NEARBY_DEVICE_STREAMING

Constant Value: "android.app.role.COMPANION_DEVICE_NEARBY_DEVICE_STREAMING"

DEVICE_PROFILE_WATCH

Added in API level 31
public static final String DEVICE_PROFILE_WATCH

Device profile: watch. If specified, the current request may have a modified UI to highlight that the device being set up is a specific kind of device, and some extra permissions may be granted to the app as a result. Using it requires declaring uses-permission Manifest.permission.REQUEST_COMPANION_PROFILE_WATCH in the manifest. Learn more about device profiles.

Constant Value: "android.app.role.COMPANION_DEVICE_WATCH"

Fields

CREATOR

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

Public methods

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.

getDeviceProfile

Added in API level 33
public String getDeviceProfile ()

Returns
String profile of the companion device. This value may be null. Value is DEVICE_PROFILE_WATCH, DEVICE_PROFILE_COMPUTER, DEVICE_PROFILE_AUTOMOTIVE_PROJECTION, DEVICE_PROFILE_APP_STREAMING, DEVICE_PROFILE_GLASSES, or DEVICE_PROFILE_NEARBY_DEVICE_STREAMING

getDisplayName

Added in API level 33
public CharSequence getDisplayName ()

The Display name of the device to be shown in the CDM confirmation UI. Must be non-null for "self-managed" association.

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.

isForceConfirmation

Added in API level 33
public boolean isForceConfirmation ()

Indicates whether the application requires the CompanionDeviceManager service to collect an explicit confirmation from the user before creating an association, even if such confirmation is not required from the service's perspective.

Returns
boolean

isSelfManaged

Added in API level 33
public boolean isSelfManaged ()

Whether the association is to be managed by the companion application.

Returns
boolean

isSingleDevice

Added in API level 33
public boolean isSingleDevice ()

Whether only a single device should match the provided filter. When scanning for a single device with a specific BluetoothDeviceFilter mac address, bonded devices are also searched among. This allows to obtain the necessary app privileges even if the device is already paired.

Returns
boolean

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: 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
