**This class was deprecated in API level 37.**   

The Rubidium (Rb) Relevance APIs, including those in android.adservices.common, are being deprecated. Relevance APIs have no direct replacement. Developers should stop using them, as calls will be rejected in future Android releases. Please refer to official Privacy Sandbox documentation for deprecation and roadmap details: https://privacysandbox.com/news/update-on-plans-for-privacy-sandbox-technologies/

This class holds JSON that will be passed into a JavaScript function during ad selection. Its contents are not used by [FLEDGE](https://developer.android.com/design-for-safety/privacy-sandbox/fledge) platform code, but are merely validated and then passed to the appropriate JavaScript ad selection function.

## Summary

### Inherited constants

From interface `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable` `int` `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

Descriptor bit used with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.

## Public methods

### describeContents

Added in [API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)   
Deprecated in [API level 37](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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel,%20int)`, the return value of this method must include the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` bit.

<br />

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

### equals

Added in [API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)   
Deprecated in [API level 37](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

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

Compares this AdSelectionSignals to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a AdSelectionSignals object with the same string form (obtained by calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/adservices/common/AdSelectionSignals#toString()`). Note that this method will not perform any JSON normalization so two AdSelectionSignals objects with the same JSON could be not equal if the String representations of the objects was not equal.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `o` | `Object`: The object to compare this AdSelectionSignals against <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | true if the given object represents an AdSelectionSignals equivalent to this AdSelectionSignals, false otherwise <br /> |

### fromString

Added in [API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)  
Also in [Ad Services Extensions 4](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions)   
Deprecated in [API level 37](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public static AdSelectionSignals fromString (String source)
```

Creates an AdSelectionSignals from a given JSON in String form.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `source` | `String`: Any valid JSON string to create the AdSelectionSignals with. This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/adservices/common/AdSelectionSignals` | An AdSelectionSignals object wrapping the given String. This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |

### hashCode

```
public int hashCode ()
```

Returns a hash code corresponding to the string representation of this class obtained by calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/adservices/common/AdSelectionSignals#toString()`. Note that this method will not perform any JSON normalization so two AdSelectionSignals objects with the same JSON could have different hash codes if the underlying string representation was different.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | a hash code value for this object. <br /> |

### toString

Added in [API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)   
Deprecated in [API level 37](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public String toString ()
```

Returns a string representation of the object.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String` | The String form of the JSON wrapped by this class. This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |

```
public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)
```

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `dest` | `Parcel`: This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |
| `flags` | `int`: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE` |
