Represents a Bluetooth class, which describes general characteristics and capabilities of a device. For example, a Bluetooth class will specify the general device type such as a phone, a computer, or headset, and whether it's capable of services such as audio or telephony.
Every Bluetooth class is composed of zero or more service classes, and exactly one device class. The device class is further broken down into major and minor device class components.
BluetoothClass is useful as a hint to roughly describe a device (for example to show
 an icon in the UI), but does not reliably describe which Bluetooth profiles or services are
 actually supported by a device. Accurate service discovery is done through SDP requests, which
 are automatically performed when creating an RFCOMM socket with BluetoothDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(UUID) and BluetoothAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(String, UUID)
 
Use BluetoothDevice.getBluetoothClass to retrieve the class for a remote device.

Fields
Public methods
describeContents
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(android.os.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.
 Value is either 0orCONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR | 
doesClassMatch
public boolean doesClassMatch (int profile)
Check class bits for possible bluetooth profile support. This is a simple heuristic that tries to guess if a device with the given class bits might support specified profile. It is not accurate for all devices. It tries to err on the side of false positives.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| profile | int: the profile to be checked | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | whether this device supports specified profile | 
equals
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 returntrue.
- It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values
     xandy,x.equals(y)should returntrueif and only ify.equals(x)returnstrue.
- It is transitive: for any non-null reference values
     x,y, andz, ifx.equals(y)returnstrueandy.equals(z)returnstrue, thenx.equals(z)should returntrue.
- It is consistent: for any non-null reference values
     xandy, multiple invocations ofx.equals(y)consistently returntrueor consistently returnfalse, provided no information used inequalscomparisons on the objects is modified.
- For any non-null reference value x,x.equals(null)should returnfalse.
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: This value may benull. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | trueif this object is the same as the obj
          argument;falseotherwise. | 
getDeviceClass
public int getDeviceClass ()
Return the (major and minor) device class component of this BluetoothClass.
 
Values returned from this function can be compared with the public constants in BluetoothClass.Device to determine which device class is encoded in this Bluetooth class.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | device class component | 
getMajorDeviceClass
public int getMajorDeviceClass ()
Return the major device class component of this BluetoothClass.
 
Values returned from this function can be compared with the public constants in BluetoothClass.Device.Major to determine which major class is encoded in this Bluetooth
 class.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | major device class component | 
hasService
public boolean hasService (int service)
Return true if the specified service class is supported by this BluetoothClass.
 
Valid service classes are the public constants in BluetoothClass.Service. For
 example, BluetoothClass.Service.AUDIO.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| service | int: valid service class | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | true if the service class is supported | 
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 hashCodemethod must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used inequalscomparisons 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 equalsmethod, then calling thehashCodemethod 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 equalsmethod, then calling thehashCodemethod 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. | 
toString
public String toString ()
Returns a string representation of the object.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | a string representation of the object. | 
writeToParcel
public void writeToParcel (Parcel out, int flags)
Flatten this object in to a Parcel.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| out | Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written.
 This value cannot benull. | 
| flags | int: Additional flags about how the object should be written.
 May be 0 orParcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE.
 Value is either0or a combination ofParcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES |
