SearchResult.MatchRange

public static final class SearchResult.MatchRange
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.app.appsearch.SearchResult.MatchRange


Class providing the position range of matching information.

All ranges are finite, and the left side of the range is always <= the right side of the range.

Example: MatchRange(0, 100) represent a hundred ints from 0 to 99."

Summary

Public constructors

MatchRange(int start, int end)

Creates a new immutable range.

Public methods

boolean equals(Object other)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

int getEnd()

Gets the end point (exclusive).

int getStart()

Gets the start point (inclusive).

int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Inherited methods

Public constructors

MatchRange

public MatchRange (int start, 
                int end)

Creates a new immutable range.

The endpoints are [start, end); that is the range is bounded. start must be lesser or equal to end.

Parameters
start int: The start point (inclusive)

end int: The end point (exclusive)

Public methods

equals

public boolean equals (Object other)

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
other Object: This value may be null.

Returns
boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

getEnd

public int getEnd ()

Gets the end point (exclusive).

Returns
int

getStart

public int getStart ()

Gets the start point (inclusive).

Returns
int

hashCode

public 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.

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) 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.

toString

public 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 This value cannot be null.
