*** ** * ** ***

Contains a list of buyer supplied[AdWithBid](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/adservices/adselection/AdWithBid)bundle and its signature.

Instances of this class are created by SDKs to be injected as part of[AdSelectionConfig](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/adservices/adselection/AdSelectionConfig)and passed to[AdSelectionManager.selectAds](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/adservices/adselection/AdSelectionManager#selectAds(android.adservices.adselection.AdSelectionConfig,%20java.util.concurrent.Executor,%20android.os.OutcomeReceiver<android.adservices.adselection.AdSelectionOutcome,java.lang.Exception>))

SignedContextualAds are signed using ECDSA algorithm with SHA256 hashing algorithm (aka SHA256withECDSA). Keys used should belong to P-256 curve (aka \\u201csecp256r1\\u201d or \\u201cprime256v1\\u201d).

Signature should include the buyer, decisionLogicUri and adsWithBid fields.

While creating the signature a specific serialization rules must be followed as it's outlined here:

- `Objects`concatenate the serialized values of their fields with the`|`(pipe) in between each field
- `All fields`are sorted by alphabetical order within the object
- `Nullable fields`are skipped if they are null/unset
- `Doubles`are converted to String preserving precision
- `Integers`are converted to string values
- `Sets`are sorted alphabetically
- `Lists`keep the same order
- `Strings`get encoded into byte\[\] using UTF-8 encoding

## Public methods

### describeContents

Added in[API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)  

```
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)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel,%20int)), the return value of this method must include the[CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR)bit.

|-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `int` | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either`0`or[CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR) <br /> |

### equals

Added in[API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)  

```
public boolean equals (Object o)
```

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.

```
public byte[] getSignature ()
```

Returns a copy of the signature for the contextual ads object.

<br />

|                          Returns                           ||
|----------|--------------------------------------------------|
| `byte[]` | the signature This value cannot be`null`. <br /> |

### hashCode

Added in[API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)  

```
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](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/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](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#equals(java.lang.Object))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](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#equals(java.lang.Object))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.

```
public String toString ()
```

Returns a string representation of the object.
