## Public methods

### describeContents

Added in [API level 3](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public int describeContents ()

instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will
include a file descriptor in the output of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel,%20int)`,
the return value of this method must include the
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` bit.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either `0` or - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` |
