UsbAccessory


open class UsbAccessory : Parcelable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.hardware.usb.UsbAccessory

A class representing a USB accessory, which is an external hardware component that communicates with an android application over USB. The accessory is the USB host and android the device side of the USB connection.

When the accessory connects, it reports its manufacturer and model names, the version of the accessory, and a user visible description of the accessory to the device. The manufacturer, model and version strings are used by the USB Manager to choose an appropriate application for the accessory. The accessory may optionally provide a unique serial number and a URL to for the accessory's website to the device as well.

An instance of this class is sent to the application via the UsbManager#ACTION_USB_ACCESSORY_ATTACHED Intent. The application can then call UsbManager#openAccessory to open a file descriptor for reading and writing data to and from the accessory.

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 12
open fun describeContents(): Int
Return
Int 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

equals

Added in API level 12
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.
