EmbeddingVector

Kotlin |Java

public final class EmbeddingVector
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
↳	android.app.appsearch.EmbeddingVector

Embeddings are vector representations of data, such as text, images, and audio, which can be generated by machine learning models and used for semantic search. This class represents an embedding vector, which wraps a float array for the values of the embedding vector and a model signature that can be any string to distinguish between embedding vectors generated by different models.

For more details on how embedding search works, check AppSearchSession.search and SearchSpec.Builder.setRankingStrategy(String).

Summary

Inherited constants

From interface android.os.Parcelable

`int`	`CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` Descriptor bit used with `describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
`int`	`PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE` Flag for use with `writeToParcel(Parcel, int)`: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`".

Fields
`public static final Creator<EmbeddingVector>`	`CREATOR`

Public constructors
`EmbeddingVector(float[] values, String modelSignature)` Creates a new `EmbeddingVector`.

Public methods
`boolean`	`equals(Object o)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`String`	`getModelSignature()` Returns the model signature of this embedding vector, which is an arbitrary string to distinguish between embedding vectors generated by different models.
`float[]`	`getValues()` Returns the values of this embedding vector.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`void`	`writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Inherited methods

From class


        
          java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

From interface


        
          android.os.Parcelable

`abstract int`	`describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.

Fields

CREATOR

Added in Android Baklava

public static final Creator<EmbeddingVector> CREATOR

Public constructors

EmbeddingVector

Added in Android Baklava

public EmbeddingVector (float[] values, 
                String modelSignature)

Creates a new EmbeddingVector.

Parameters
`values`	`float`: This value cannot be `null`.
`modelSignature`	`String`: This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if `values` is empty.

Public methods

equals

Added in Android Baklava

public 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.

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.

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.

getModelSignature

Added in Android Baklava

public String getModelSignature ()

Returns the model signature of this embedding vector, which is an arbitrary string to distinguish between embedding vectors generated by different models.

Returns
`String`	This value cannot be `null`.

getValues

Added in Android Baklava

public float[] getValues ()

Returns the values of this embedding vector.

Returns
`float[]`	This value cannot be `null`.

hashCode

Added in Android Baklava

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 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 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.

Returns
`int`	a hash code value for this object.

writeToParcel

Added in Android Baklava

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
`dest`	`Parcel`: This value cannot be `null`.
`flags`	`int`: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or `Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`. Value is either `0` or a combination of `Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
