Public methods

equals

Added in API level 23

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`: the reference object with which to compare.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.

Returns

Returns
`int[]`	An array of supported encapsulation metadata types for the device. This may be an empty array if no metadata types are supported. This value cannot be `null`.

As there is no AudioFormat constant specifically defined for 24-bit PCM, the value `ENCODING_PCM_FLOAT` indicates that `AudioTrack` or `AudioRecord` can preserve at least 24 bits of integer precision to that device. This value cannot be `null`.

int[]

An array of audio encodings (e.g. AudioFormat#ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, AudioFormat#ENCODING_PCM_FLOAT) supported by the audio device. ENCODING_PCM_FLOAT indicates the device supports more than 16 bits of integer precision.

hashCode

Added in API level 23

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.

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 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 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.

isSink

Added in API level 23

public boolean isSink ()

Returns
`boolean`	true if the audio device is a sink for audio data (i.e. an output).

isSource

Added in API level 23

public boolean isSource ()

Returns
`boolean`	true if the audio device is a source for audio data (e.e an input).
