Inherited methods | |
|---|---|
public ContentValues ()
Creates an empty set of values using the default initial size
public ContentValues (ContentValues from)
Creates a set of values copied from the given set
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
from |
ContentValues: the values to copy |
public ContentValues (int size)
Creates an empty set of values using the given initial size
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
size |
int: the initial size of the set of values |
public boolean containsKey (String key)
Returns true if this object has the named value.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
key |
String: the value to check for |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean |
true if the value is present, false otherwise |
public 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.
int0 or
public boolean equals (Object object)
Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
The equals method implements an equivalence relation
on non-null object references:
x, x.equals(x) should return
true.
x and y, x.equals(y)
should return true if and only if
y.equals(x) returns true.
x, y, and z, if
x.equals(y) returns true and
y.equals(z) returns true, then
x.equals(z) should return true.
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.
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.

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:
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.
equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the
same integer result.
equals 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.

|---|---|
int |
a hash code value for this object. |
