SubscriptionPlan


public final class SubscriptionPlan
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.telephony.SubscriptionPlan


Description of a billing relationship plan between a carrier and a specific subscriber. This information is used to present more useful UI to users, such as explaining how much mobile data they have remaining, and what will happen when they run out.

If specifying network types, the developer must supply at least one plan that applies to all network types (default), and all additional plans may not include a particular network type more than once. This is enforced by SubscriptionManager when setting the plans.

Plan selection will prefer plans that have specific network types defined over plans that apply to all network types.

Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 28
public static final Creator<SubscriptionPlan> CREATOR

Public methods

cycleIterator

Added in API level 28
public Iterator<Range<ZonedDateTime>> cycleIterator ()

Returns an iterator that provides the data usage billing cycles for this plan, based on its recurrence rule.

The iterator starts from the cycle that is currently active and walks backwards through time. Each cycle is represented as a Range of ZonedDateTime objects, indicating the start and end of that period.

Returns
Iterator<Range<ZonedDateTime>> An iterator for the plan's billing cycles.

describeContents

Added in API level 28
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(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

equals

Added in API level 28
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.

Parameters
obj Object: This value may be null.

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

getDataLimitBehavior

Added in API level 28
public int getDataLimitBehavior ()

Returns the behavior of data access when usage reaches the limit defined by getDataLimitBytes().

This defines what happens to the user's data connection once they have consumed the amount of data specified in the data limit. For example, the carrier might throttle the connection to a slower speed, disable it entirely, or start billing for overage.

Returns
int The data limit behavior, which will be one of LIMIT_BEHAVIOR_UNKNOWN, LIMIT_BEHAVIOR_DISABLED, LIMIT_BEHAVIOR_BILLED, or LIMIT_BEHAVIOR_THROTTLED.
Value is one of the following:

getDataLimitBytes

Added in API level 28
public long getDataLimitBytes ()

Returns the data limit for the plan.

This is the usage threshold, in bytes, at which data access changes according to the behavior defined by getDataLimitBehavior(). For example, once data usage reaches this limit, the connection might be throttled or disabled.
Value is a non-negative number of bytes.

Returns
long The data limit in bytes. This may be BYTES_UNKNOWN if the limit is not available, or BYTES_UNLIMITED if there is no limit.
Value is a non-negative number of bytes.

getDataUsageBytes

Added in API level 28
public long getDataUsageBytes ()

Returns a snapshot of the mobile data usage, in bytes, as of the time reported by getDataUsageTime().

The usage reported here corresponds to the data consumption within the current billing cycle defined by ERROR(/#getCycleRule()). If the plan specifies different limits for various network types, this value represents the total usage across all applicable networks.
Value is a non-negative number of bytes.

Returns
long The data usage in bytes, or BYTES_UNKNOWN if unavailable.
Value is a non-negative number of bytes.

getDataUsageResetTime

Added in API level 28
public ZonedDateTime getDataUsageResetTime ()

Returns the time at which the data usage will reset.

This is distinct from the billing cycle or plan duration returned by ERROR(/#getCycleRule()). For example, a 15-day travel plan might have a ERROR(/#getCycleRule()) covering the entire 15-day duration, but a daily data limit of 1GB. In this case, getDataUsageResetTime() would indicate the time (e.g., midnight) when that daily 1GB limit resets, while ERROR(/#getCycleRule()) defines when the plan itself expires.

This is particularly relevant for plans with a daily data allowance. The value provided for getDataUsageBytes() must reflect the data consumed since this reset time.

It may be null if this information is not available or not applicable to the plan.

Returns
ZonedDateTime

getDataUsageTime

Added in API level 28
public long getDataUsageTime ()

Returns the time at which getDataUsageBytes() was measured, in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

This timestamp indicates how recent the data usage information is. It allows applications to decide whether the usage value is current enough for their needs.
Value is a non-negative timestamp measured as the number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.

Returns
long The time of the data usage snapshot as a Unix epoch timestamp, or TIME_UNKNOWN if unavailable.
Value is a non-negative timestamp measured as the number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.

getId

Added in API level 28
public int getId ()

Returns the unique integer identifier for this subscription plan.

This ID is provided by the carrier and can be used to uniquely identify this plan, particularly when interacting with entitlement server for enrolling.

It may be UNSPECIFIED_ID if no ID is specified.

Returns
int The unique integer identifier for the plan, or UNSPECIFIED_ID if not specified.

getNetworkTypes

Added in API level 30
public int[] getNetworkTypes ()

Returns the network types that this plan applies to.

A "default" plan, which applies to any network type not explicitly covered by another plan, will include all possible network types in the returned array. Each subscription should have at most one default plan.

A RAT-specific plan will return an array containing only the network types it applies to, for example, TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_LTE.

Returns
int[] A new copy of the array of network types this plan applies to. The values will be constants from TelephonyManager, such as TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_LTE.
This value cannot be null.
Value is one of the following:

getPlanEndDate

Added in API level 36
public ZonedDateTime getPlanEndDate ()

Returns the end date of this subscription plan.

This indicates the specific date and time when the plan is no longer valid. For recurring plans that do not have a defined end, this will be null.

Returns
ZonedDateTime The plan's end date as a ZonedDateTime, or null if unavailable.

getSubscriptionStatus

Added in API level 36
public int getSubscriptionStatus ()

Returns the status of the subscription plan.

This indicates the current state of the subscription, such as whether it is active, suspended, or in a trial period. This status provides context on the plan's availability and can be used to inform the user about their subscription's lifecycle.

Returns
int The subscription status, which is one of the SUBSCRIPTION_STATUS_* constants, or SUBSCRIPTION_STATUS_UNKNOWN if not available.
Value is one of the following:

getSummary

Added in API level 28
public CharSequence getSummary ()

Returns a brief, human-readable summary of the subscription plan.

This could include details about the plan's features, such as "10GB of high-speed data" or "Unlimited talk and text". This summary is intended for display to the user.

Returns
CharSequence A short, user-friendly summary of the plan, or null if not specified.

getTitle

Added in API level 28
public CharSequence getTitle ()

Returns a user-visible title for this plan.

This title is provided by the carrier to identify the subscription plan, for example, "Unlimited+" or "Family plan". It is intended for display to the user.

Returns
CharSequence The title of the plan, or null if not specified.

getTypes

Added in API level 28
public Set<Integer> getTypes ()

Returns the characteristics of this subscription plan as a set of type constants. A plan can have multiple types that describe its nature. For example, a plan might be both a PLAN_TYPE_CELLULAR and a PLAN_TYPE_POSTPAID plan.

The returned set allows for efficient checks of plan characteristics using Set.contains(Object) and Set.containsAll(java.util.Collection).

The types can be used to understand the plan's attributes and tailor an application's behavior. For instance, a data management app could display different UI elements for a PLAN_TYPE_PREPAID versus a PLAN_TYPE_POSTPAID plan.

Returns
Set<Integer> An unmodifiable Set of plan type constants, for example PLAN_TYPE_CELLULAR or PLAN_TYPE_DATA_ONLY. The set will be empty if no types are associated with the plan.
This value cannot be null.
Value is one of the following:

hashCode

Added in API level 28
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.

toString

Added in API level 28
public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 28
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 the following:
