MODE_WORLD_READABLE

static val MODE_WORLD_READABLE: Int

Deprecated: Creating world-readable files is very dangerous, and likely to cause security holes in applications. It is strongly discouraged; instead, applications should use more formal mechanism for interactions such as ContentProvider, BroadcastReceiver, and android.app.Service. There are no guarantees that this access mode will remain on a file, such as when it goes through a backup and restore.

For use with #open: if MODE_CREATE has been supplied and this file doesn't already exist, then create the file with permissions such that any application can read it.

Value: 1

MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE

static val MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE: Int

Deprecated: Creating world-writable files is very dangerous, and likely to cause security holes in applications. It is strongly discouraged; instead, applications should use more formal mechanism for interactions such as ContentProvider, BroadcastReceiver, and android.app.Service. There are no guarantees that this access mode will remain on a file, such as when it goes through a backup and restore.

For use with #open: if MODE_CREATE has been supplied and this file doesn't already exist, then create the file with permissions such that any application can write it.

Value: 2

MODE_WRITE_ONLY

static val MODE_WRITE_ONLY: Int

For use with #open: open the file with write-only access.

Value: 536870912

ParcelFileDescriptor

ParcelFileDescriptor(wrapped: ParcelFileDescriptor!)

Create a new ParcelFileDescriptor wrapped around another descriptor. By default all method calls are delegated to the wrapped descriptor.

adoptFd

open static fun adoptFd(fd: Int): ParcelFileDescriptor!

Take ownership of a raw native fd in to a new ParcelFileDescriptor. The returned ParcelFileDescriptor now owns the given fd, and will be responsible for closing it.

WARNING: You must not close the fd yourself after this call, and ownership of the file descriptor must have been released prior to the call to this function.

canDetectErrors

open fun canDetectErrors(): Boolean

Indicates if this ParcelFileDescriptor can communicate and detect remote errors/crashes.

checkError

open fun checkError(): Unit

Detect and throw if the other end of a pipe or socket pair encountered an error or crashed. This allows a reader to distinguish between a valid EOF and an error/crash.

If this ParcelFileDescriptor is unable to detect remote errors, it will return silently.

close

open fun close(): Unit

Close the ParcelFileDescriptor. This implementation closes the underlying OS resources allocated to represent this stream.

closeWithError

open fun closeWithError(msg: String!): Unit

Close the ParcelFileDescriptor, informing any peer that an error occurred while processing. If the creator of this descriptor is not observing errors, it will close normally.

createPipe

open static fun createPipe(): Array<ParcelFileDescriptor!>!

Create two ParcelFileDescriptors structured as a data pipe. The first ParcelFileDescriptor in the returned array is the read side; the second is the write side.

createReliablePipe

open static fun createReliablePipe(): Array<ParcelFileDescriptor!>!

Create two ParcelFileDescriptors structured as a data pipe. The first ParcelFileDescriptor in the returned array is the read side; the second is the write side.

The write end has the ability to deliver an error message through closeWithError(java.lang.String) which can be handled by the read end calling checkError(), usually after detecting an EOF. This can also be used to detect remote crashes.

createReliableSocketPair

open static fun createReliableSocketPair(): Array<ParcelFileDescriptor!>!

Create two ParcelFileDescriptors structured as a pair of sockets connected to each other. The two sockets are indistinguishable.

Both ends have the ability to deliver an error message through closeWithError(java.lang.String) which can be detected by the other end calling checkError(), usually after detecting an EOF. This can also be used to detect remote crashes.

createSocketPair

open static fun createSocketPair(): Array<ParcelFileDescriptor!>!

Create two ParcelFileDescriptors structured as a pair of sockets connected to each other. The two sockets are indistinguishable.

describeContents

open fun describeContents(): Int

detachFd

open fun detachFd(): Int

Return the native fd int for this ParcelFileDescriptor and detach it from the object here. You are now responsible for closing the fd in native code.

You should not detach when the original creator of the descriptor is expecting a reliable signal through #close() or closeWithError(java.lang.String).

dup

open fun dup(): ParcelFileDescriptor!

Create a new ParcelFileDescriptor that is a dup of the existing FileDescriptor. This obeys standard POSIX semantics, where the new file descriptor shared state such as file position with the original file descriptor.

dup

open static fun dup(orig: FileDescriptor!): ParcelFileDescriptor!

Create a new ParcelFileDescriptor that is a dup of an existing FileDescriptor. This obeys standard POSIX semantics, where the new file descriptor shared state such as file position with the original file descriptor.

fromDatagramSocket

open static fun fromDatagramSocket(datagramSocket: DatagramSocket!): ParcelFileDescriptor!

Create a new ParcelFileDescriptor from the specified DatagramSocket. The new ParcelFileDescriptor holds a dup of the original FileDescriptor in the DatagramSocket, so you must still close the DatagramSocket as well as the new ParcelFileDescriptor.

WARNING: Prior to API level 29, this function would not actually dup the DatagramSocket's FileDescriptor, and would take a reference to the its internal FileDescriptor instead. If the DatagramSocket gets garbage collected before the ParcelFileDescriptor, this may lead to the ParcelFileDescriptor being unexpectedly closed. To avoid this, the following pattern can be used:

<code>ParcelFileDescriptor pfd = ParcelFileDescriptor.fromDatagramSocket(socket).dup();
  </code>

fromFd

open static fun fromFd(fd: Int): ParcelFileDescriptor!

Create a new ParcelFileDescriptor from a raw native fd. The new ParcelFileDescriptor holds a dup of the original fd passed in here, so you must still close that fd as well as the new ParcelFileDescriptor.

fromSocket

open static fun fromSocket(socket: Socket!): ParcelFileDescriptor!

Create a new ParcelFileDescriptor from the specified Socket. The new ParcelFileDescriptor holds a dup of the original FileDescriptor in the Socket, so you must still close the Socket as well as the new ParcelFileDescriptor.

WARNING: Prior to API level 29, this function would not actually dup the Socket's FileDescriptor, and would take a reference to the its internal FileDescriptor instead. If the Socket gets garbage collected before the ParcelFileDescriptor, this may lead to the ParcelFileDescriptor being unexpectedly closed. To avoid this, the following pattern can be used:

<code>ParcelFileDescriptor pfd = ParcelFileDescriptor.fromSocket(socket).dup();
  </code>

getFd

open fun getFd(): Int

Return the native fd int for this ParcelFileDescriptor. The ParcelFileDescriptor still owns the fd, and it still must be closed through this API.

WARNING: Do not call close on the return value of this function or pass it to a function that assumes ownership of the fd.

getFileDescriptor

open fun getFileDescriptor(): FileDescriptor!

Retrieve the actual FileDescriptor associated with this object.

getStatSize

open fun getStatSize(): Long

Return the total size of the file representing this fd, as determined by stat(). Returns -1 if the fd is not a file.

open

open static fun open(
    file: File!, 
    mode: Int
): ParcelFileDescriptor!

Create a new ParcelFileDescriptor accessing a given file.

This method should only be used for files that you have direct access to; if you'd like to work with files hosted outside your app, use an API like ContentResolver#openFile(Uri, String, CancellationSignal).

open

open static fun open(
    file: File!, 
    mode: Int, 
    handler: Handler!, 
    listener: ParcelFileDescriptor.OnCloseListener!
): ParcelFileDescriptor!

Create a new ParcelFileDescriptor accessing a given file.

This method should only be used for files that you have direct access to; if you'd like to work with files hosted outside your app, use an API like ContentResolver#openFile(Uri, String, CancellationSignal).

parseMode

open static fun parseMode(mode: String!): Int

Converts a string representing a file mode, such as "rw", into a bitmask suitable for use with #open.

The argument must define at least one of the following base access modes:

• "r" indicates the file should be opened in read-only mode, equivalent to OsConstants#O_RDONLY.
• "w" indicates the file should be opened in write-only mode, equivalent to OsConstants#O_WRONLY.
• "rw" indicates the file should be opened in read-write mode, equivalent to OsConstants#O_RDWR.

• "a" indicates the file should be opened in append mode, equivalent to OsConstants#O_APPEND. Before each write, the file offset is positioned at the end of the file.
• "t" indicates the file should be opened in truncate mode, equivalent to OsConstants#O_TRUNC. If the file already exists and is a regular file and is opened for writing, it will be truncated to length 0.

toString

open fun toString(): String

wrap

open static fun wrap(
    pfd: ParcelFileDescriptor, 
    handler: Handler, 
    listener: ParcelFileDescriptor.OnCloseListener
): ParcelFileDescriptor

Create a new ParcelFileDescriptor wrapping an already-opened file.

writeToParcel

open fun writeToParcel(
    out: Parcel, 
    flags: Int
): Unit

Flatten this object in to a Parcel. If Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE is set in flags, the file descriptor will be closed after a copy is written to the Parcel.

finalize

protected open fun finalize(): Unit

CREATOR

static val CREATOR: Parcelable.Creator<ParcelFileDescriptor!>
