L2capNetworkSpecifier


public final class L2capNetworkSpecifier
extends NetworkSpecifier implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.net.NetworkSpecifier
     ↳ android.net.L2capNetworkSpecifier


A NetworkSpecifier used to identify an L2CAP network over BLE. An L2CAP network is not symmetrical, meaning there exists both a server (Bluetooth peripheral) and a client (Bluetooth central) node. This specifier contains the information required to request a client L2CAP network using ConnectivityManager.requestNetwork while specifying the remote MAC address, and Protocol/Service Multiplexer (PSM). It can also contain information allocated by the system when reserving a server network using ConnectivityManager.reserveNetwork(NetworkRequest, Handler, NetworkCallback) such as the Protocol/Service Multiplexer (PSM). In both cases, the header compression option must be specified. An L2CAP server network allocates a Protocol/Service Multiplexer (PSM) to be advertised to the client. A new server network must always be reserved using ConnectivityManager#reserveNetwork. The subsequent ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback.onReserved(android.net.NetworkCapabilities) callback includes an L2CapNetworkSpecifier. The ERROR(/getPsm()) method will return the Protocol/Service Multiplexer (PSM) of the reserved network so that the server can advertise it to the client and the client can connect. An L2CAP server network is backed by a BluetoothServerSocket which can, in theory, accept many connections. However, before SDK version ERROR(/Build.VERSION_CODES.VANILLA_ICE_CREAM) Bluetooth APIs do not expose the channel ID, so these connections are indistinguishable. In practice, this means that the network matching semantics in ConnectivityService will tear down all but the first connection. When the connection between client and server completes, a Network whose capabilities satisfy this L2capNetworkSpecifier will connect and the usual callbacks, such as ERROR(/NetworkCallback#onAvailable), will be called on the callback object passed to ConnectivityManager#reserveNetwork or ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork.

Constants

HEADER_COMPRESSION_6LOWPAN

public static final int HEADER_COMPRESSION_6LOWPAN

Use 6lowpan header compression as specified in rfc6282.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

HEADER_COMPRESSION_ANY

public static final int HEADER_COMPRESSION_ANY

Accept any form of header compression. This option is only meaningful in NetworkRequests. Specifiers for actual L2CAP networks never have this option set.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

HEADER_COMPRESSION_NONE

public static final int HEADER_COMPRESSION_NONE

Do not compress packets on this network.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

PSM_ANY

public static final int PSM_ANY

Match any Protocol/Service Multiplexer (PSM). This PSM value is only meaningful in NetworkRequests. Specifiers for actual L2CAP networks never have this value set.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

ROLE_ANY

public static final int ROLE_ANY

Match any role. This role is only meaningful in NetworkRequests. Specifiers for actual L2CAP networks never have this role set.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

ROLE_CLIENT

public static final int ROLE_CLIENT

Specifier describes a client network, i.e., the device is the Bluetooth central.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

ROLE_SERVER

public static final int ROLE_SERVER

Specifier describes a server network, i.e., the device is the Bluetooth peripheral.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

Fields

CREATOR

Public methods

describeContents

public int describeContents ()

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), the return value of this method must include the 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

getHeaderCompression

public int getHeaderCompression ()

Returns the compression mechanism for this network.

Returns
int Value is HEADER_COMPRESSION_ANY, HEADER_COMPRESSION_NONE, or HEADER_COMPRESSION_6LOWPAN

getPsm

public int getPsm ()

Returns the Protocol/Service Multiplexer (PSM) for this network to connect to.

Returns
int

getRemoteAddress

public MacAddress getRemoteAddress ()

Returns the remote MAC address for this network to connect to. The remote address is only meaningful for networks that have ROLE_CLIENT. When receiving this L2capNetworkSpecifier from Connectivity APIs such as a ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback, the MAC address is redacted.

Returns
MacAddress This value may be null.

getRole

public int getRole ()

Returns the role to be used for this network.

Returns
int Value is ROLE_ANY, ROLE_CLIENT, or ROLE_SERVER

writeToParcel

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: This value cannot be null.

flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
