Network

extends Object
implements Parcelable
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.net.Network

Class Overview

Identifies a Network. This is supplied to applications via ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback in response to the active requestNetwork(NetworkRequest, ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback) or passive registerNetworkCallback(NetworkRequest, ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback) calls. It is used to direct traffic to the given Network, either on a Socket basis through a targeted SocketFactory or process-wide via setProcessDefaultNetwork(Network).

Public Methods

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable's marshalled representation.

Returns
  • a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshalled by the Parcelable.

public boolean equals (Object obj)

Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. In order to be equal, o must represent the same object as this instance using a class-specific comparison. The general contract is that this comparison should be reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. Also, no object reference other than null is equal to null.

The default implementation returns true only if this == o. See Writing a correct equals method if you intend implementing your own equals method.

The general contract for the equals and hashCode() methods is that if equals returns true for any two objects, then hashCode() must return the same value for these objects. This means that subclasses of Object usually override either both methods or neither of them.

Parameters
obj the object to compare this instance with.
Returns
  • true if the specified object is equal to this Object; false otherwise.

public InetAddress[] getAllByName (String host)

Operates the same as InetAddress.getAllByName except that host resolution is done on this network.

Parameters
host the hostname or literal IP string to be resolved.
Returns
  • the array of addresses associated with the specified host.
Throws
UnknownHostException if the address lookup fails.

public InetAddress getByName (String host)

Operates the same as InetAddress.getByName except that host resolution is done on this network.

Parameters
host the hostName to be resolved to an address or null.
Returns
  • the InetAddress instance representing the host.
Throws
UnknownHostException if the address lookup fails.

public SocketFactory getSocketFactory ()

Returns a SocketFactory bound to this network. Any Socket created by this factory will have its traffic sent over this Network. Note that if this Network ever disconnects, this factory and any Socket it produced in the past or future will cease to work.

Returns

public int hashCode ()

Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which equals(Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.

Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.

See Writing a correct hashCode method if you intend implementing your own hashCode method.

Returns
  • this object's hash code.

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest The Parcel in which the object should be written.
flags Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE.
