## Public methods

### equals

Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean
```

**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*

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 ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html` | `true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise. |

### getConnectionHints

Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
fun getConnectionHints(): Bundle
```

**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Bundle.html#` | connection hints sent from controller. This value cannot be `null`. |

### getPackageName

Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
fun getPackageName(): String
```

**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html` | package name of the controller. This value cannot be `null`. |

### getRemoteUserInfo

Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
fun getRemoteUserInfo(): MediaSessionManager.RemoteUserInfo
```

**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/session/MediaSessionManager.RemoteUserInfo` | remote user info of the controller. This value cannot be `null`. |

### getUid

Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
fun getUid(): Int
```

**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html` | uid of the controller. Can be a negative value if the uid cannot be obtained. |

### hashCode

Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
fun hashCode(): Int
```

**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*

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/kotlin/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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/lang/Object.html#equals(kotlin.Any)` 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/kotlin/java/lang/Object.html#equals(kotlin.Any)` 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.

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html` | a hash code value for this object. |

### toString

Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
fun toString(): String
```

**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*

Returns a string representation of the object.

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html` | This value cannot be `null`. |
