*** ** * ** *** A segment of a PropertyPath, which includes the name of the property and a 0-based index into this property. If the property index is not set to[NON_REPEATED_CARDINALITY](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/PropertyPath.PathSegment#NON_REPEATED_CARDINALITY), this represents a schema property with the "repeated" cardinality, or a path like "foo\[1\]". Otherwise, this represents a schema property that could have any cardinality, or a path like "foo". ## Summary | ### Constants ||

34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Also in[T Extensions 7](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions) ``` public static final int NON_REPEATED_CARDINALITY ``` A marker variable to signify that a PathSegment represents a schema property that isn't indexed into. The value is chosen to be invalid if used as an array index.
Constant Value: -1 (0xffffffff) ## Public methods ### create Added in[API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Also in[T Extensions 7](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions) ``` public static PropertyPath.PathSegment create (String propertyName) ``` Creation method that accepts and validates a property name The property index is set to[NON_REPEATED_CARDINALITY](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/PropertyPath.PathSegment#NON_REPEATED_CARDINALITY)
| Parameters || |----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | `propertyName` | `String`: the name of the property This value cannot be`null`.
| | Returns || |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | [PropertyPath.PathSegment](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/PropertyPath.PathSegment) | A new PathSegment This value cannot be`null`.
| ### create Added in[API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Also in[T Extensions 7](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions) ``` public static PropertyPath.PathSegment create (String propertyName, int propertyIndex) ``` Creation method that accepts and validates both a property name and the index into the property. The property name may not be blank. It also may not contain square brackets or dots, as they are control characters in property paths. The index into the property may not be negative, unless it is[NON_REPEATED_CARDINALITY](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/PropertyPath.PathSegment#NON_REPEATED_CARDINALITY), as these are invalid array indices.
| Parameters || |-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | `propertyName` | `String`: the name of the property This value cannot be`null`.
| | `propertyIndex` | `int`: the index into the property
| | Returns || |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | [PropertyPath.PathSegment](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/PropertyPath.PathSegment) | A new PathSegment This value cannot be`null`.
| | Throws || |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| | [IllegalArgumentException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException) | if the property name or index is invalid. | ### equals Added in[API level 34](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.
| Parameters || |-----|-------------------------------------------| | `o` | `Object`: This value may be`null`.
| | Returns || |-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `boolean` | `true`if this object is the same as the obj argument;`false`otherwise.
| ### getPropertyIndex Added in[API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Also in[T Extensions 7](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions) ``` public int getPropertyIndex () ``` Returns the index into the property, or[NON_REPEATED_CARDINALITY](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appsearch/PropertyPath.PathSegment#NON_REPEATED_CARDINALITY)if this does not represent a PathSegment with an index.
| Returns || |-------|--------| | `int` |
| ### getPropertyName Added in[API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Also in[T Extensions 7](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions) ``` public String getPropertyName () ``` Returns the name of the property.
| Returns || |--------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------| | [String](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String) | This value cannot be`null`.
| ### hashCode Added in[API level 34](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.

| Returns || |-------|-------------------------------------------| | `int` | a hash code value for this object.
| ### toString Added in[API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public String toString () ``` Returns a path representing a PathSegment, either "foo" or "foo\[1\]"
| Returns || |--------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------| | [String](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String) | This value cannot be`null`.
