UsbDevice

public class UsbDevice
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.hardware.usb.UsbDevice


This class represents a USB device attached to the android device with the android device acting as the USB host. Each device contains one or more UsbInterfaces, each of which contains a number of UsbEndpoints (the channels via which data is transmitted over USB).

This class contains information (along with UsbInterface and UsbEndpoint) that describes the capabilities of the USB device. To communicate with the device, you open a UsbDeviceConnection for the device and use UsbRequest to send and receive data on an endpoint. controlTransfer(int, int, int, int, byte[], int, int) is used for control requests on endpoint zero.

Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 12
Creator<UsbDevice> CREATOR

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 12
int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance.

equals

Added in API level 12
boolean equals (Object o)

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

getConfiguration

Added in API level 21
UsbConfiguration getConfiguration (int index)

Returns the UsbConfiguration at the given index.

Parameters
index int
Returns
UsbConfiguration the configuration

getConfigurationCount

Added in API level 21
int getConfigurationCount ()

Returns the number of UsbConfigurations this device contains.

Returns
int the number of configurations

getDeviceClass

Added in API level 12
int getDeviceClass ()

Returns the devices's class field. Some useful constants for USB device classes can be found in UsbConstants.

Returns
int the devices's class

getDeviceId

Added in API level 12
int getDeviceId ()

Returns a unique integer ID for the device. This is a convenience for clients that want to use an integer to represent the device, rather than the device name. IDs are not persistent across USB disconnects.

Returns
int the device ID

getDeviceId

Added in API level 12
int getDeviceId (String name)

Parameters
name String
Returns
int

getDeviceName

Added in API level 12
String getDeviceName ()

Returns the name of the device. In the standard implementation, this is the path of the device file for the device in the usbfs file system.

Returns
String the device name

getDeviceName

Added in API level 12
String getDeviceName (int id)

Parameters
id int
Returns
String

getDeviceProtocol

Added in API level 12
int getDeviceProtocol ()

Returns the device's protocol field.

Returns
int the device's protocol

getDeviceSubclass

Added in API level 12
int getDeviceSubclass ()

Returns the device's subclass field.

Returns
int the device's subclass

getInterface

Added in API level 12
UsbInterface getInterface (int index)

Returns the UsbInterface at the given index. For devices with multiple configurations, you will probably want to use getInterface(int) instead.

Parameters
index int
Returns
UsbInterface the interface

getInterfaceCount

Added in API level 12
int getInterfaceCount ()

Returns the number of UsbInterfaces this device contains. For devices with multiple configurations, you will probably want to use getInterfaceCount() instead.

Returns
int the number of interfaces

getManufacturerName

String getManufacturerName ()

Returns the manufacturer name of the device.

Returns
String the manufacturer name

getProductId

Added in API level 12
int getProductId ()

Returns a product ID for the device.

Returns
int the device product ID

getProductName

Added in API level 21
String getProductName ()

Returns the product name of the device.

Returns
String the product name

getSerialNumber

Added in API level 21
String getSerialNumber ()

Returns the serial number of the device.

Returns
String the serial number name

getVendorId

Added in API level 12
int getVendorId ()

Returns a vendor ID for the device.

Returns
int the device vendor ID

getVersion

Added in API level 23
String getVersion ()

Returns the version number of the device.

Returns
String the device version

hashCode

Added in API level 12
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.

toString

Added in API level 12
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.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 12
void writeToParcel (Parcel parcel, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
parcel 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!
