LinkProperties

public final class LinkProperties
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.net.LinkProperties


Describes the properties of a network link. A link represents a connection to a network. It may have multiple addresses and multiple gateways, multiple dns servers but only one http proxy and one network interface. Note that this is just a holder of data. Modifying it does not affect live networks.

Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 21
Also in U Extensions 1
public static final Creator<LinkProperties> CREATOR

Implement the Parcelable interface.

Public constructors

LinkProperties

Added in API level 21
Also in U Extensions 1
public LinkProperties ()

Constructs a new LinkProperties with default values.

Public methods

addRoute

Added in API level 29
Also in U Extensions 1
public boolean addRoute (RouteInfo route)

Adds a RouteInfo to this LinkProperties. If there is a RouteInfo with the same destination, gateway and interface with different properties (e.g., different MTU), it will be updated. If the RouteInfo had an interface name set and that differs from the interface set for this LinkProperties an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown. The proper course is to add either un-named or properly named RouteInfo.

Parameters
route RouteInfo: A RouteInfo to add to this object. This value cannot be null.

Returns
boolean true was added or updated, false otherwise.

clear

Added in API level 29
Also in U Extensions 1
public void clear ()

Clears this object to its initial state.

describeContents

Added in API level 21
public int describeContents ()

Implement the Parcelable interface

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

equals

Added in API level 21
public boolean equals (Object obj)

Compares this LinkProperties instance against the target LinkProperties in obj. Two LinkPropertieses are equal if all their fields are equal in values. For collection fields, such as mDnses, containsAll() is used to check if two collections contains the same elements, independent of order. There are two thoughts regarding containsAll() 1. Duplicated elements. eg, (A, B, B) and (A, A, B) are equal. 2. Worst case performance is O(n^2).

Parameters
obj Object: the object to be tested for equality. This value may be null.

Returns
boolean true if both objects are equal, false otherwise.

getDhcpServerAddress

Added in API level 30
Also in U Extensions 1
public Inet4Address getDhcpServerAddress ()

Returns
Inet4Address The current DHCP server address. This value may be null.

Returns
ProxyInfo The ProxyInfo set on this link or null.

getInterfaceName

Added in API level 21
Also in U Extensions 1
public String getInterfaceName ()

Gets the interface name for this link. May be null if not set.

Returns
String The interface name set for this link or null.

getLinkAddresses

Added in API level 21
Also in U Extensions 1
public List<LinkAddress> getLinkAddresses ()

Returns all the LinkAddress on this link. Typically a link will have one IPv4 address and one or more IPv6 addresses.

Returns
List<LinkAddress> An unmodifiable List of LinkAddress for this link. This value cannot be null.

getMtu

Added in API level 29
Also in U Extensions 1
public int getMtu ()

Gets any non-default MTU size set for this link. Note that if the default is being used this will return 0.

Returns
int The mtu value set for this link.

getNat64Prefix

Added in API level 30
Also in U Extensions 1
public IpPrefix getNat64Prefix ()

Returns the NAT64 prefix in use on this link, if any.

Returns
IpPrefix the NAT64 prefix or null.

getPrivateDnsServerName

Added in API level 28
Also in U Extensions 1
public String getPrivateDnsServerName ()

Returns the private DNS server name that is in use. If not null, private DNS is in strict mode. In this mode, applications should ensure that all DNS queries are encrypted and sent to this hostname and that queries are only sent if the hostname's certificate is valid. If null and isPrivateDnsActive() is true, private DNS is in opportunistic mode, and applications should ensure that DNS queries are encrypted and sent to a DNS server returned by getDnsServers(). System DNS will handle each of these cases correctly, but applications implementing their own DNS lookups must make sure to follow these requirements.

Returns
String The private DNS server name.

getRoutes

Added in API level 21
Also in U Extensions 1
public List<RouteInfo> getRoutes ()

Returns all the RouteInfo set on this link. Only unicast routes are returned for apps targeting Android S or below.

Returns
List<RouteInfo> An unmodifiable List of RouteInfo for this link. This value cannot be null.

hashCode

Added in API level 21

Returns
int a hash code value for this object.

isPrivateDnsActive

Added in API level 28
Also in U Extensions 1
public boolean isPrivateDnsActive ()

Returns whether private DNS is currently in use on this network. When private DNS is in use, applications must not send unencrypted DNS queries as doing so could reveal private user information. Furthermore, if private DNS is in use and getPrivateDnsServerName() is not null, DNS queries must be sent to the specified DNS server.

Returns
boolean true if private DNS is in use, false otherwise.

isWakeOnLanSupported

Added in API level 30
Also in U Extensions 1
public boolean isWakeOnLanSupported ()

Returns whether the network interface supports WakeOnLAN
