TAG

Added in API level 1
public static final String TAG

Constant Value: "ContentValues"

Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 1
public static final Creator<ContentValues> CREATOR

Public constructors

ContentValues

Added in API level 1
public ContentValues ()

Creates an empty set of values using the default initial size

ContentValues

Added in API level 1
public ContentValues (int size)

Creates an empty set of values using the given initial size

Parameters
size int: the initial size of the set of values

ContentValues

Added in API level 1
public ContentValues (ContentValues from)

Creates a set of values copied from the given set

Parameters
from ContentValues: the values to copy

Public methods

clear

Added in API level 1
public void clear ()

Removes all values.

containsKey

Added in API level 1
public boolean containsKey (String key)

Returns true if this object has the named value.

Parameters
key String: the value to check for

Returns
boolean true if the value is present, false otherwise

describeContents

Added in API level 1
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 1
public boolean equals (Object object)

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
object Object: This value may be null.

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

Returns
Double the Double value, or null if the value is missing or cannot be converted

Short the Short value, or null if the value is missing or cannot be converted

getAsString

Added in API level 1
public String getAsString (String key)

Gets a value and converts it to a String.

Parameters
key String: the value to get

Returns
String the String for the value

hashCode

Added in API level 1
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.

public boolean isEmpty ()

Indicates whether this collection is empty.

Returns
boolean true iff size == 0
