MacAddress

TYPE_BROADCAST

public static final int TYPE_BROADCAST

Indicates a MAC address is the broadcast address.

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

TYPE_MULTICAST

public static final int TYPE_MULTICAST

Indicates a MAC address is a multicast address.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

TYPE_UNICAST

public static final int TYPE_UNICAST

Indicates a MAC address is a unicast address.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

BROADCAST_ADDRESS

public static final MacAddress BROADCAST_ADDRESS

The MacAddress representing the unique broadcast MAC address.

CREATOR

public static final Creator<MacAddress> CREATOR

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.

equals

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.

fromBytes

public static MacAddress fromBytes (byte[] addr)

Creates a MacAddress from the given byte array representation. A valid byte array representation for a MacAddress is a non-null array of length 6.

fromString

public static MacAddress fromString (String addr)

Creates a MacAddress from the given String representation. A valid String representation for a MacAddress is a series of 6 values in the range [0,ff] printed in hexadecimal and joined by ':' characters.

getAddressType

public int getAddressType ()

Returns the type of this address.

getLinkLocalIpv6FromEui48Mac

public Inet6Address getLinkLocalIpv6FromEui48Mac ()

Create a link-local Inet6Address from the MAC address. The EUI-48 MAC address is converted to an EUI-64 MAC address per RFC 4291. The resulting EUI-64 is used to construct a link-local IPv6 address per RFC 4862.

hashCode

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.

isLocallyAssigned

public boolean isLocallyAssigned ()

matches

public boolean matches (MacAddress baseAddress, 
                MacAddress mask)

Checks if this MAC Address matches the provided range.

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray ()

Convert this MacAddress to a byte array. The returned array is in network order. For example, if this MacAddress is 01:02:03:04:05:06, the returned array is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].

toOuiString

public String toOuiString ()

toString

public String toString ()

Returns a human-readable representation of this MacAddress. The exact format is implementation-dependent and should not be assumed to have any particular format.

writeToParcel

public void writeToParcel (Parcel out, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.
