Constant Value: -1 (0xffffffff) ### UNSPECIFIED_PANID ``` int UNSPECIFIED_PANID ``` Value returned from[getPanid()](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#getPanid())when no PANID was specified.
Constant Value: -1 (0xffffffff) ## Public methods ### equals ``` boolean equals (Object rhs) ``` 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`. The`equals`method for class`Object`implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference values`x`and`y`, this method returns`true`if and only if`x`and`y`refer to the same object (`x == y`has the value`true`). Note that it is generally necessary to override the`hashCode`method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the`hashCode`method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
| Parameters || |-------|--------------------------------------------------------------| | `rhs` | `Object`: the reference object with which to compare.
| | Returns || |-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `boolean` | `true`if this object is the same as the obj argument;`false`otherwise.
| ### getChannel ``` int getChannel () ``` Returns the channel index for this LowpanIdentity. If not set, will return[UNSPECIFIED_CHANNEL](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#UNSPECIFIED_CHANNEL).
| Returns || |-------|--------| | `int` |
| **See also:** - [UNSPECIFIED_CHANNEL](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#UNSPECIFIED_CHANNEL) ### getName ``` String getName () ``` Returns the name of the network. Note that if the name of this network is not considered normal or ambiguous, the returned string will be escaped into a non-ambigous form. To get the actual byte values for the network name, use[getRawName()](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#getRawName()).
| Returns || |--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------| | [String](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String) |
| **See also:** - [getRawName()](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#getRawName()) - [isNameValid()](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#isNameValid()) ### getPanid ``` int getPanid () ``` Returns the PANID for this LowpanIdentity. If not set, will return[UNSPECIFIED_PANID](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#UNSPECIFIED_PANID).
| Returns || |-------|--------| | `int` |
| **See also:** - [UNSPECIFIED_PANID](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#UNSPECIFIED_PANID) ### getRawName ``` byte[] getRawName () ``` Returns the raw bytes for the network name. These bytes may differ from the UTF8 encoding of the result from[getName()](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#getName())if the network name is not considered normal or ambiguous.
| Returns || |----------|--------| | `byte[]` |
| **See also:** - [getName()](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#getName()) - [isNameValid()](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#isNameValid()) ### getXpanid ``` byte[] getXpanid () ``` Returns the XPANID for this LowpanIdentity. If not set, will return an empty array.
| Returns || |----------|--------| | `byte[]` |
| ### hashCode ``` 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](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HashMap.html). 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(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[equals(java.lang.Object)](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object.html#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. As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class`Object`does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the Java™ programming language.)
| Returns || |-------|-------------------------------------------| | `int` | a hash code value for this object.
| ### isNameValid ``` boolean isNameValid () ``` Indicates if the raw network name is a valid and normalized UTF8 encoding.
| Returns || |-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `boolean` | `true`if the network name is valid and normalized UTF8.`false`otherwise.
| **See also:** - [getName()](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#getName()) - [getRawName()](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/things/lowpan/LowpanIdentity#getRawName()) ### toString ``` String toString () ``` Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the`toString`method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method. The`toString`method for class`Object`returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character \``@`', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of: > > ``` > getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode()) > > ```

| Returns || |--------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------| | [String](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String) | a string representation of the object.
