### Inherited methods

From class ` https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/PathEffect ` ` void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/PathEffect#finalize()() `

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
From class ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object ` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#clone()() `

Creates and returns a copy of this object.
` boolean` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#equals(java.lang.Object)(https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object obj) `

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
` void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#finalize()() `

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
` final https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Class<?>` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#getClass()() `

Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
` int` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#hashCode()() `

Returns a hash code value for the object.
` final void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#notify()() `

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
` final void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#notifyAll()() `

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#toString()() `

Returns a string representation of the object.
` final void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#wait(long,%20int)(long timeoutMillis, int nanos) `

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being *notified* or *interrupted*, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
` final void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#wait(long)(long timeoutMillis) `

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being *notified* or *interrupted*, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
` final void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#wait()() `

## Public constructors

### DashPathEffect

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public DashPathEffect (float[] intervals, 
                float phase)
```

The intervals array must contain an even number of entries (\>=2), with the even indices specifying the "on" intervals, and the odd indices specifying the "off" intervals. phase is an offset into the intervals array (mod the sum of all of the intervals). The intervals array controls the length of the dashes. The paint's strokeWidth controls the thickness of the dashes. Note: this patheffect only affects drawing with the paint's style is set to STROKE or FILL_AND_STROKE. It is ignored if the drawing is done with style == FILL.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `intervals` | `float`: array of ON and OFF distances <br /> |
| `phase` | `float`: offset into the intervals array <br /> |
