Helper class for building an options Bundle that can be used with Context.sendBroadcast(Intent) and related methods.

Summary

Constants
static Int	`DEFERRAL_POLICY_DEFAULT` Deferral policy that indicates no desire has been expressed, and that the system should use a reasonable default behavior.
static Int	`DEFERRAL_POLICY_NONE` Deferral policy that indicates a strong desire that no receiver of this broadcast should be deferred.
static Int	`DEFERRAL_POLICY_UNTIL_ACTIVE` Deferral policy that indicates a strong desire that each receiver of this broadcast should be deferred until that receiver's process is in an active (non-cached) state.
static Int	`DELIVERY_GROUP_POLICY_ALL` Delivery group policy that indicates that all the broadcasts in the delivery group need to be delivered as is.
static Int	`DELIVERY_GROUP_POLICY_MOST_RECENT` Delivery group policy that indicates that only the most recent broadcast in the delivery group need to be delivered and the rest can be dropped.

Constants

DEFERRAL_POLICY_DEFAULT

Added in API level 34

static val DEFERRAL_POLICY_DEFAULT: Int

Deferral policy that indicates no desire has been expressed, and that the system should use a reasonable default behavior.

Value: 0

DEFERRAL_POLICY_NONE

Added in API level 34

static val DEFERRAL_POLICY_NONE: Int

Deferral policy that indicates a strong desire that no receiver of this broadcast should be deferred.

Value: 1

DEFERRAL_POLICY_UNTIL_ACTIVE

Added in API level 34

static val DEFERRAL_POLICY_UNTIL_ACTIVE: Int

Deferral policy that indicates a strong desire that each receiver of this broadcast should be deferred until that receiver's process is in an active (non-cached) state. Whether an app's process state is considered active is independent of its standby bucket.

This policy only applies to runtime registered receivers of a broadcast, and does not apply to ordered broadcasts, alarm broadcasts, interactive broadcasts, or manifest broadcasts.

This policy means that a runtime registered receiver will not typically execute until that receiver's process is brought to an active state by some other action, such as a job, alarm, or service binding. As a result, the receiver may be delayed indefinitely.

When this policy is set on an unordered broadcast with a completion callback, the completion callback will run once all eligible processes have finished receiving the broadcast. Processes in inactive process state are not considered eligible and may not receive the broadcast prior to the completion callback.

Value: 2

DELIVERY_GROUP_POLICY_ALL

Added in API level 34

static val DELIVERY_GROUP_POLICY_ALL: Int

Delivery group policy that indicates that all the broadcasts in the delivery group need to be delivered as is.

Value: 0

DELIVERY_GROUP_POLICY_MOST_RECENT

Added in API level 34

static val DELIVERY_GROUP_POLICY_MOST_RECENT: Int

Delivery group policy that indicates that only the most recent broadcast in the delivery group need to be delivered and the rest can be dropped.

Value: 1

clearDeliveryGroupPolicy

Added in API level 34

open fun clearDeliveryGroupPolicy(): Unit

Clears any previously set delivery group policies using setDeliveryGroupMatchingKey(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) and resets the delivery group policy to the default value (DELIVERY_GROUP_POLICY_ALL).

fromBundle

Added in API level 34

open static fun fromBundle(options: Bundle): BroadcastOptions

Returns a BroadcastOptions parsed from the given Bundle, typically generated from toBundle().

Parameters
`options`	Bundle: This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`BroadcastOptions`	This value cannot be `null`.

getDeferralPolicy

Added in API level 34

open fun getDeferralPolicy(): Int

Gets deferral policy for this broadcast that specifies how this broadcast can be deferred for delivery at some future point.

Return
`Int`	Value is `android.app.BroadcastOptions#DEFERRAL_POLICY_DEFAULT`, `android.app.BroadcastOptions#DEFERRAL_POLICY_NONE`, or `android.app.BroadcastOptions#DEFERRAL_POLICY_UNTIL_ACTIVE`

getDeliveryGroupMatchingKey

Added in API level 34

open fun getDeliveryGroupMatchingKey(): String?

Return the namespace and key that is used to identify the delivery group that this broadcast belongs to.

Return
`String?`	the delivery group namespace and key that was previously set using `setDeliveryGroupMatchingKey(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)`, concatenated with a `:`. This value may be `null`.

makeBasic

Added in API level 34

open static fun makeBasic(): BroadcastOptions

Creates a basic BroadcastOptions with no options initially set.

`BroadcastOptions`	an instance of `BroadcastOptions` against which options can be set This value cannot be `null`.

setDeferralPolicy

setDeliveryGroupMatchingKey

Added in API level 34

open fun setDeliveryGroupMatchingKey(
    namespace: String, 
    key: String
): BroadcastOptions

Set namespace and key to identify the delivery group that this broadcast belongs to.

If namespace and key are specified, then another broadcast will be considered to be in the same delivery group as this iff it has the same namespace and key.

Return
`BroadcastOptions`	This value cannot be `null`.

setShareIdentityEnabled

Added in API level 34

open fun setShareIdentityEnabled(shareIdentityEnabled: Boolean): BroadcastOptions

Sets whether the identity of the broadcasting app should be shared with all receivers that will receive this broadcast.

Use this option when broadcasting to a receiver that needs to know the identity of the broadcaster; with this set to true, the receiver will have access to the broadcasting app's package name and uid.

Defaults to false if not set.

Parameters
`shareIdentityEnabled`	Boolean: whether the broadcasting app's identity should be shared with the receiver

Return
`BroadcastOptions`	`this` `BroadcastOptions` instance This value cannot be `null`.

toBundle

Added in API level 34

open fun toBundle(): Bundle

Returns the created options as a Bundle, which can be passed to Context.sendBroadcast(Intent) and related methods. Note that the returned Bundle is still owned by the BroadcastOptions object; you must not modify it, but can supply it to the sendBroadcast methods that take an options Bundle.

Return
`Bundle`	This value cannot be `null`.

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalStateException`	if the broadcast option values are inconsistent. For example, if the delivery group policy is specified as "MERGED" but no extras merger is supplied.
