## Public methods

### build

Added in [API level 36](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)  
Also in [T Extensions 16](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions)

```
public AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig build ()
```

Constructs a new `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig` from the contents of this builder.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig` | This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |

### setCardinality

Added in [API level 36](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)  
Also in [T Extensions 16](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions)

```
public AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig.Builder setCardinality (int cardinality)
```

Sets the cardinality of the property (whether it is optional, required or repeated).

If this method is not called, the default cardinality is `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.PropertyConfig#CARDINALITY_OPTIONAL`.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `cardinality` | `int`: Value is one of the following: - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.PropertyConfig#CARDINALITY_REPEATED` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.PropertyConfig#CARDINALITY_OPTIONAL` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.PropertyConfig#CARDINALITY_REQUIRED` |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig.Builder` | This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |

### setDescription

Added in [version 36.1](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/revisions)  
Also in [T Extensions 18](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions)

```
public AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig.Builder setDescription (String description)
```

Sets a natural language description of this property.

For more details about the description field, see `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.PropertyConfig#getDescription()`.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `description` | `String`: This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig.Builder` | This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |

### setIndexingType

Added in [API level 36](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)  
Also in [T Extensions 16](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions)

```
public AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig.Builder setIndexingType (int indexingType)
```

Configures how a property should be indexed so that it can be retrieved by queries.

If this method is not called, the default indexing type is `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig#INDEXING_TYPE_NONE`, so that it will not be indexed and cannot be matched by queries.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `indexingType` | `int`: Value is one of the following: - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig#INDEXING_TYPE_NONE` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig#INDEXING_TYPE_SIMILARITY` |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig.Builder` | This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |

### setQuantizationType

Added in [API level 36](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)  
Also in [T Extensions 17](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions)

```
public AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig.Builder setQuantizationType (int quantizationType)
```

Configures whether the vector contents of this property should be quantized.

Quantization can reduce the size of the embedding search index, potentially leading to faster embedding search due to lower I/O bandwidth. Quantization is usually very reliable and in most cases will have a negligible impact on recall. Using quantization is strongly recommended.

If this method is not called, the default quantization type is `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig#QUANTIZATION_TYPE_NONE`.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `quantizationType` | `int`: Value is one of the following: - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig#QUANTIZATION_TYPE_NONE` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig#QUANTIZATION_TYPE_8_BIT` |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/AppSearchSchema.EmbeddingPropertyConfig.Builder` | This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |
