ObjectsCompat

public class ObjectsCompat
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.v4.util.ObjectsCompat

This class consists of static utility methods for operating on objects.

Summary

Public methods

static boolean equals(Object a, Object b)

Returns true if the arguments are equal to each other and false otherwise.

static int hash(Object... values)

Generates a hash code for a sequence of input values.

static int hashCode(Object o)

Returns the hash code of a non-null argument and 0 for a null argument.

Public methods

equals

added in version 26.1.0
boolean equals (Object a, 
                Object b)

Returns true if the arguments are equal to each other and false otherwise.

Consequently, if both arguments are null, true is returned and if exactly one argument is null, false is returned. Otherwise, equality is determined by using the equals method of the first argument.

Parameters
a Object: an object
b Object: an object to be compared with a for equality
Returns
boolean true if the arguments are equal to each other and false otherwise

hash

added in version 27.1.0
int hash (Object... values)

Generates a hash code for a sequence of input values. The hash code is generated as if all the input values were placed into an array, and that array were hashed by calling hashCode(Object[]).

This method is useful for implementing hashCode() on objects containing multiple fields. For example, if an object that has three fields, x, y, and z, one could write: 

 @Override public int hashCode() {
     return ObjectsCompat.hash(x, y, z);
 }
Warning: When a single object reference is supplied, the returned value does not equal the hash code of that object reference. This value can be computed by calling hashCode(Object).

Parameters
values Object: the values to be hashed
Returns
int a hash value of the sequence of input values

hashCode

added in version 27.1.0
int hashCode (Object o)

Returns the hash code of a non-null argument and 0 for a null argument.

Parameters
o Object: an object
Returns
int the hash code of a non-null argument and 0 for a null argument
