Enum TraitValueKind

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<TraitValueKind>

com.codename1.home.TraitValueKind

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<TraitValueKind>

public enum TraitValueKind
extends Enum<TraitValueKind>

What sort of value a Trait carries, and therefore which TraitValue getter is the one that works.

There is deliberately no TLV

HomeKit characteristics can carry TLV8 blobs, which is how accessory vendors ship extensions outside the published characteristic set. Those have no portable meaning -- decoding one requires the vendor's own schema, and there is nothing on the Matter side to map them to. Exposing a byte array here would look like a capability and be an invitation to write iOS-only code inside a cross-platform API. A trait whose platform value is TLV8 is simply not in the Trait table.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
BOOLEAN	True or false.
DOUBLE	A measured quantity with a TraitUnit.
ENUM	One of a fixed set, carried as an ordinal into one of this package's domain enums -- LockState, HeatingCoolingMode, AirQualityLevel and the rest.
INT	A whole number with no unit.
STRING	Free text.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static TraitValueKind	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static TraitValueKind[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Details

BOOLEAN

public static final TraitValueKind BOOLEAN

True or false. Read with TraitValue.getBoolean().

INT

public static final TraitValueKind INT

A whole number with no unit. Read with TraitValue.getInt().

DOUBLE

public static final TraitValueKind DOUBLE

A measured quantity with a TraitUnit. Read with TraitValue.getDouble(TraitUnit), which makes you name the unit you expect.

STRING

public static final TraitValueKind STRING

Free text. Read with TraitValue.getString().

ENUM

public static final TraitValueKind ENUM

One of a fixed set, carried as an ordinal into one of this package's domain enums -- LockState, HeatingCoolingMode, AirQualityLevel and the rest. Read it through that enum's own lookup rather than through TraitValue.getEnumOrdinal(), which exists for the codec.

Method Details

values

public static TraitValueKind[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static TraitValueKind valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
