Boolean

• java.lang.Object

Fields Summary
private static final long	serialVersionUID
private final boolean	value The boolean value of the receiver.
public static final Class	TYPE The {@link Class} object that represents the primitive type {@code boolean}.
public static final Boolean	TRUE The {@code Boolean} object that represents the primitive value {@code true}.
public static final Boolean	FALSE The {@code Boolean} object that represents the primitive value {@code false}.

Constructors Summary
public Boolean(String string) Constructs a new {@code Boolean} with its boolean value specified by {@code string}. If {@code string} is not {@code null} and is equal to "true" using a non-case sensitive comparison, the result will be a Boolean representing the primitive value {@code true}, otherwise it will be a Boolean representing the primitive value {@code false}. param string the string representing a boolean value. since Android 1.0 this(parseBoolean(string));
public Boolean(boolean value) Constructs a new {@code Boolean} with the specified primitive boolean value. param value the primitive boolean value, {@code true} or {@code false}. since Android 1.0 this.value = value;

Methods Summary
public boolean	booleanValue() Gets the primitive value of this boolean, either {@code true} or {@code false}. return this object's primitive value, {@code true} or {@code false}. since Android 1.0 return value;
public int	compareTo(java.lang.Boolean that) Compares this object to the specified boolean object to determine their relative order. param that the boolean object to compare this object to. return 0 if the value of this boolean and the value of {@code that} are equal; a positive value if the value of this boolean is {@code true} and the value of {@code that} is {@code false}; a negative value if the value if this boolean is {@code false} and the value of {@code that} is {@code true}. see java.lang.Comparable since Android 1.0 if (that == null) { throw new NullPointerException(); } if (this.value == that.value) { return 0; } return this.value ? 1 : -1;
public boolean	equals(java.lang.Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. In order to be equal, {@code o} must be an instance of {@code Boolean} and have the same boolean value as this object. param o the object to compare this boolean with. return {@code true} if the specified object is equal to this {@code Boolean}; {@code false} otherwise. since Android 1.0 return (o == this) || ((o instanceof Boolean) && (value == ((Boolean) o).value));
public static boolean	getBoolean(java.lang.String string) Returns the {@code boolean} value of the system property identified by {@code string}. param string the name of the requested system property. return {@code true} if the system property named by {@code string} exists and it is equal to "true" using case insensitive comparison, {@code false} otherwise. see System#getProperty(String) since Android 1.0 if (string == null || string.length() == 0) { return false; } return (parseBoolean(System.getProperty(string)));
public int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this boolean. return this boolean's hash code, which is {@code 1231} for {@code true} values and {@code 1237} for {@code false} values. since Android 1.0 return value ? 1231 : 1237;
public static boolean	parseBoolean(java.lang.String s) Parses the specified string as a {@code boolean}. param s the string representation of a boolean value. return {@code true} if {@code s} is not {@code null} and is equal to {@code "true"} using case insensitive comparison, {@code false} otherwise. since Android 1.0 return "true".equalsIgnoreCase(s); //$NON-NLS-1$
public static java.lang.String	toString(boolean value) Converts the specified boolean to its string representation. param value the boolean to convert. return "true" if {@code value} is {@code true}, "false" otherwise. since Android 1.0 return String.valueOf(value);
public java.lang.String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this boolean. return "true" if the value of this boolean is {@code true}, "false" otherwise. since Android 1.0 return String.valueOf(value);
public static java.lang.Boolean	valueOf(java.lang.String string) Parses the specified string as a boolean value. param string the string representation of a boolean value. return {@code Boolean.TRUE} if {@code string} is equal to "true" using case insensitive comparison, {@code Boolean.FALSE} otherwise. see #parseBoolean(String) since Android 1.0 return parseBoolean(string) ? Boolean.TRUE : Boolean.FALSE;
public static java.lang.Boolean	valueOf(boolean b) Returns a {@code Boolean} instance for the specified boolean value. If it is not necessary to get a new {@code Boolean} instance, it is recommended to use this method instead of the constructor, since it returns its static instances, which results in better performance. param b the boolean to convert to a {@code Boolean}. return {@code Boolean.TRUE} if {@code b} is equal to {@code true}, {@code Boolean.FALSE} otherwise. since Android 1.0 return b ? Boolean.TRUE : Boolean.FALSE;
