# GridLayout.Spec

*** ** * ** ***

` public static class GridLayout.Spec `   
` extends https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object ` ` `

|---|---|
| [java.lang.Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object) ||
| ↳ | android.widget.GridLayout.Spec |

<br />

*** ** * ** ***

A Spec defines the horizontal or vertical characteristics of a group of cells. Each spec. defines the *grid indices* and *alignment* along the appropriate axis.

The *grid indices* are the leading and trailing edges of this cell group. See `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout` for a description of the conventions used by GridLayout for grid indices.

The *alignment* property specifies how cells should be aligned in this group. For row groups, this specifies the vertical alignment. For column groups, this specifies the horizontal alignment.

Use the following static methods to create specs:

- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout#spec(int)`
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout#spec(int,%20int)`
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout#spec(int,%20android.widget.GridLayout.Alignment)`
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout#spec(int,%20int,%20android.widget.GridLayout.Alignment)`
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout#spec(int,%20float)`
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout#spec(int,%20int,%20float)`
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout#spec(int,%20android.widget.GridLayout.Alignment,%20float)`
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout#spec(int,%20int,%20android.widget.GridLayout.Alignment,%20float)`

| ### Public methods ||
|---|---|
| ` boolean` | ` https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout.Spec#equals(java.lang.Object)(https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object that) ` Returns `true` if the `class`, `alignment` and `span` properties of this Spec and the supplied parameter are pairwise equal, `false` otherwise. |
| ` int` | ` https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout.Spec#hashCode()() ` Returns a hash code value for the object. |

### Inherited methods

From class ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object ` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#clone()() `

Creates and returns a copy of this object.
` boolean` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#equals(java.lang.Object)(https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object obj) `

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
` void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#finalize()() `

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
` final https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Class<?>` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#getClass()() `

Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
` int` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#hashCode()() `

Returns a hash code value for the object.
` final void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#notify()() `

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
` final void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#notifyAll()() `

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#toString()() `

Returns a string representation of the object.
` final void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#wait(long,%20int)(long timeoutMillis, int nanos) `

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being *notified* or *interrupted*, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
` final void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#wait(long)(long timeoutMillis) `

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being *notified* or *interrupted*, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
` final void` ` https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#wait()() `

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being *notified* or *interrupted*.

## Public methods

### equals

Added in [API level 14](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public boolean equals (Object that)
```

Returns `true` if the `class`, `alignment` and `span` properties of this Spec and the supplied parameter are pairwise equal, `false` otherwise.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `that` | `Object`: the object to compare this spec with. This value may be `null`. <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` if the specified object is equal to this `Spec`; `false` otherwise <br /> |

### hashCode

Added in [API level 14](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 `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 `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 `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.
