Configuration

public final class Configuration
extends Object implements Parcelable, Comparable<Configuration>

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.content.res.Configuration


This class describes all device configuration information that can impact the resources the application retrieves. This includes both user-specified configuration options (locale list and scaling) as well as device configurations (such as input modes, screen size and screen orientation).

You can acquire this object from Resources, using getConfiguration(). Thus, from an activity, you can get it by chaining the request with getResources():

Configuration config = getResources().getConfiguration();

The UI_MODE_TYPE_MASK bits define the overall ui mode of the device. They may be one of UI_MODE_TYPE_UNDEFINED, UI_MODE_TYPE_NORMAL, UI_MODE_TYPE_DESK, UI_MODE_TYPE_CAR, UI_MODE_TYPE_TELEVISION, UI_MODE_TYPE_APPLIANCE, or UI_MODE_TYPE_WATCH.

The UI_MODE_NIGHT_MASK defines whether the screen is in a special mode. They may be one of UI_MODE_NIGHT_UNDEFINED, UI_MODE_NIGHT_NO or UI_MODE_NIGHT_YES.

equals

Added in API level 1
boolean equals (Configuration that)

Parameters
that Configuration
Returns
boolean

equals

Added in API level 1
boolean equals (Object that)

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
that Object: the reference object with which to compare.
Returns
boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

getLayoutDirection

Added in API level 17
int getLayoutDirection ()

Return the layout direction. Will be either LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR or LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL.

Returns
int Returns LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL if the configuration is SCREENLAYOUT_LAYOUTDIR_RTL, otherwise LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR.

getLocales

Added in API level 24
LocaleList getLocales ()

Get the locale list. This is the preferred way for getting the locales (instead of using the direct accessor to locale, which would only provide the primary locale).

Returns
LocaleList The locale list.

hashCode

Added in API level 1
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 JavaTM programming language.)

Returns
int a hash code value for this object.

isLayoutSizeAtLeast

Added in API level 11
boolean isLayoutSizeAtLeast (int size)

Check if the Configuration's current screenLayout is at least the given size.

Parameters
size int: The desired size, either SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_SMALL, SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_NORMAL, SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_LARGE, or SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_XLARGE.
Returns
boolean Returns true if the current screen layout size is at least the given size.

isScreenRound

Added in API level 23
boolean isScreenRound ()

Return whether the screen has a round shape. Apps may choose to change styling based on this property, such as the alignment or layout of text or informational icons.

Returns
boolean true if the screen is rounded, false otherwise

needNewResources

Added in API level 1
boolean needNewResources (int configChanges, 
                int interestingChanges)

Determines if a new resource needs to be loaded from the bit set of configuration changes returned by updateFrom(Configuration).

Parameters
configChanges int: the mask of changes configurations as returned by updateFrom(Configuration)
interestingChanges int: the configuration changes that the resource can handle as given in changingConfigurations
Returns
boolean true if the resource needs to be loaded, false otherwise

readFromParcel

Added in API level 8
void readFromParcel (Parcel source)

Parameters
source Parcel

setLayoutDirection

Added in API level 17
void setLayoutDirection (Locale loc)

Set the layout direction from a Locale.

Parameters
loc Locale: The Locale. If null will set the layout direction to LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR. If not null will set it to the layout direction corresponding to the Locale.

See also:

setLocale

Added in API level 17
void setLocale (Locale loc)

Set the locale list to a list of just one locale. This will also set the layout direction according to the locale. Note that after this is run, calling .equals() on the input locale and the locale attribute would return true if they are not null, but there is no guarantee that they would be the same object. See also the note about layout direction in setLocales(LocaleList).

Parameters
loc Locale: The locale. Can be null.

setLocales

Added in API level 24
void setLocales (LocaleList locales)

Set the locale list. This is the preferred way for setting up the locales (instead of using the direct accessor or setLocale(Locale)). This will also set the layout direction according to the first locale in the list. Note that the layout direction will always come from the first locale in the locale list, even if the locale is not supported by the resources (the resources may only support another locale further down the list which has a different direction).

Parameters
locales LocaleList: The locale list. If null, an empty LocaleList will be assigned.

setTo

Added in API level 8
void setTo (Configuration o)

Parameters
o Configuration

setToDefaults

Added in API level 1
void setToDefaults ()

Set this object to the system defaults.

toString

Added in API level 1
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 a string representation of the object.

updateFrom

Added in API level 1
int updateFrom (Configuration delta)

Copies the fields from delta into this Configuration object, keeping track of which ones have changed. Any undefined fields in delta are ignored and not copied in to the current Configuration.

Parameters
delta Configuration
Returns
int a bit mask of the changed fields, as per diff(Configuration)

writeToParcel

Added in API level 1
void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written.
flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE.

Hooray!
