ComponentName

CREATOR

public static final Creator<ComponentName> CREATOR

ComponentName

public ComponentName (String pkg, 
                String cls)

Create a new component identifier.

ComponentName

public ComponentName (Context pkg, 
                String cls)

Create a new component identifier from a Context and class name.

ComponentName

public ComponentName (Context pkg, 
                Class<?> cls)

Create a new component identifier from a Context and Class object.

ComponentName

public ComponentName (Parcel in)

Instantiate a new ComponentName from the data in a Parcel that was previously written with writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int). Note that you must not use this with data written by writeToParcel(android.content.ComponentName, android.os.Parcel) since it is not possible to handle a null ComponentObject here.

clone

public ComponentName 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

 x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()

 x.clone().equals(x)

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.

compareTo

public int compareTo (ComponentName that)

createRelative

public static ComponentName createRelative (String pkg, 
                String cls)

Create a new component identifier where the class name may be specified as either absolute or relative to the containing package.

Relative package names begin with a '.' character. For a package "com.example" and class name ".app.MyActivity" this method will return a ComponentName with the package "com.example"and class name "com.example.app.MyActivity". Fully qualified class names are also permitted.

createRelative

public static ComponentName createRelative (Context pkg, 
                String cls)

Create a new component identifier where the class name may be specified as either absolute or relative to the containing package.

Relative package names begin with a '.' character. For a package "com.example" and class name ".app.MyActivity" this method will return a ComponentName with the package "com.example"and class name "com.example.app.MyActivity". Fully qualified class names are also permitted.

describeContents

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.

equals

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.

Two components are considered to be equal if the packages in which they reside have the same name, and if the classes that implement each component also have the same name.

flattenToShortString

public String flattenToShortString ()

The same as flattenToString(), but abbreviates the class name if it is a suffix of the package. The result can still be used with unflattenFromString(java.lang.String).

flattenToString

public String flattenToString ()

Return a String that unambiguously describes both the package and class names contained in the ComponentName. You can later recover the ComponentName from this string through unflattenFromString(java.lang.String).

getClassName

public String getClassName ()

Return the class name of this component.

getPackageName

public String getPackageName ()

Return the package name of this component.

getShortClassName

public String getShortClassName ()

Return the class name, either fully qualified or in a shortened form (with a leading '.') if it is a suffix of the package.

hashCode

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.

readFromParcel

public static ComponentName readFromParcel (Parcel in)

Read a ComponentName from a Parcel that was previously written with writeToParcel(android.content.ComponentName, android.os.Parcel), returning either a null or new object as appropriate.

toShortString

public String toShortString ()

Return string representation of this class without the class's name as a prefix.

toString

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

unflattenFromString

public static ComponentName unflattenFromString (String str)

Recover a ComponentName from a String that was previously created with flattenToString(). It splits the string at the first '/', taking the part before as the package name and the part after as the class name. As a special convenience (to use, for example, when parsing component names on the command line), if the '/' is immediately followed by a '.' then the final class name will be the concatenation of the package name with the string following the '/'. Thus "com.foo/.Blah" becomes package="com.foo" class="com.foo.Blah".

writeToParcel

public static void writeToParcel (ComponentName c, 
                Parcel out)

Write a ComponentName to a Parcel, handling null pointers. Must be read with readFromParcel(android.os.Parcel).

writeToParcel

public void writeToParcel (Parcel out, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.
