public class Account
extends [Object](/reference/java/lang/Object) implements[Parcelable](/reference/android/os/Parcelable)

Value type that represents an Account in the [AccountManager](/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager). This object is[Parcelable](/reference/android/os/Parcelable) and also overrides [equals(Object)](/reference/android/accounts/Account#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) and [hashCode()](/reference/android/accounts/Account#hashCode%28%29), making it suitable for use as the key of a [Map](/reference/java/util/Map)

Summary

Inherited constants
From interfaceandroid.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)".

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(Parcel,int)](/reference/android/os/Parcelable#writeToParcel%28android.os.Parcel,%20int%29), the return value of this method must include the[CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS%5FFILE%5FDESCRIPTOR) bit.

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

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 valuex, x.equals(x) should returntrue.
It is symmetric: for any non-null reference valuesx and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only ify.equals(x) returns true.
It is transitive: for any non-null reference valuesx, y, and z, ifx.equals(y) returns true andy.equals(z) returns true, thenx.equals(z) should return true.
It is consistent: for any non-null reference valuesx and y, multiple invocations ofx.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: This value may be null.

Returns
boolean	true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

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](/reference/java/util/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](/reference/java/lang/Object#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) 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](/reference/java/lang/Object#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) 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.

toString

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
String	a string representation of the object.
