## Summary
| Nested classes ||
|---|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | [Builder](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/ActivityManager.TaskDescription.Builder) Provides a convenient way to set the fields of a[TaskDescription](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/ActivityManager.TaskDescription#)when creating a new instance. |
| Inherited constants ||
|---|---|
| From class[Parcelable](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Parcelable.html#) |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | [CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Parcelable.html#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR:kotlin.Int)
Descriptor bit used with[describeContents()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Parcelable.html#describeContents()): indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
| | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | [PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Parcelable.html#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE:kotlin.Int)
Flag for use with[writeToParcel](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Parcelable.html#writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel,%20kotlin.Int)): the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`". Some implementations may want to release resources at this point.

## Public methods
### describeContents
Added in[API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun describeContents(): Int
```
| Return ||
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either`0`or[android.os.Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Parcelable.html#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR:kotlin.Int) |
### equals
Added in[API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean
```
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.
| Parameters ||
|-------|--------------------------|
| `obj` | This value may be`null`. |
| Return ||
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html) | `true`if this object is the same as the obj argument;`false`otherwise. |
