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[writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel,%20int)), the return value of this method must include the[CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR)bit.
| Returns ||
|-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `int` | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either`0`or[CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR)

### equals
Added in[API level 21](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`: the reference object with which to compare.
|
| Returns ||
|-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `boolean` | `true`if this object is the same as the obj argument;`false`otherwise.
|
### getExtras
Added in[API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public Bundle getExtras ()
```
Returns domain-specific extras associated with this TV input.

|---------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
| [Bundle](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Bundle) |
|
### getId
Added in[API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public String getId ()
```
Returns a unique ID for this TV input. The ID is generated from the package and class name implementing the TV input service.
| Returns ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
| [String](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String) |
|
### getParentId
Added in[API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public String getParentId ()
```
Returns the parent input ID.
A TV input may have a parent input if the TV input is actually a logical representation of a device behind the hardware port represented by the parent input. For example, a HDMI CEC logical device, connected to a HDMI port, appears as another TV input. In this case, the parent input of this logical device is the HDMI port.
Applications may group inputs by parent input ID to provide an easier access to inputs sharing the same physical port. In the example of HDMI CEC, logical HDMI CEC devices behind the same HDMI port have the same parent ID, which is the ID representing the port. Thus applications can group the hardware HDMI port and the logical HDMI CEC devices behind it together using this method.
| Returns ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [String](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String) | the ID of the parent input, if exists. Returns`null`if the parent input is not specified.
|
### getServiceInfo
Added in[API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public ServiceInfo getServiceInfo ()
```

|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
| [ServiceInfo](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/ServiceInfo) |
|
### getTunerCount
Added in[API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int getTunerCount ()
```
Returns the number of tuners this TV input has.
This method is valid only for inputs of type[TYPE_TUNER](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_TUNER). For inputs of other types, it returns 0.
Tuners correspond to physical/logical resources that allow reception of TV signal. Having*N* tuners means that the TV input is capable of receiving*N*different channels concurrently.
| Returns ||
|-------|--------|
| `int` |
|
### getType
Added in[API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int getType ()
```
Returns the type of this TV input.
| Returns ||
|-------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `int` | Value is[TYPE_TUNER](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_TUNER),[TYPE_OTHER](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_OTHER),[TYPE_COMPOSITE](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_COMPOSITE),[TYPE_SVIDEO](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_SVIDEO),[TYPE_SCART](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_SCART),[TYPE_COMPONENT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_COMPONENT),[TYPE_VGA](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_VGA),[TYPE_DVI](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_DVI),[TYPE_HDMI](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_HDMI), or[TYPE_DISPLAY_PORT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvInputInfo#TYPE_DISPLAY_PORT)
|
### hashCode
Added in[API level 21](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.
|
### isHidden
Added in[API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public boolean isHidden (Context context)
```

| Parameters ||
|-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `context` | `Context`: Supplies a[Context](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context)used to check if this TV input is hidden.
|
