Summary

Public methods
`default void`	`destroy()` Destroy this `Object`.
`default boolean`	`isDestroyed()` Determine if this `Object` has been destroyed.

Public methods

destroy

Added in API level 1

 public void destroy ()

Destroy this Object.

Sensitive information associated with this Object is destroyed or cleared. Subsequent calls to certain methods on this Object will result in an IllegalStateException being thrown.

The default implementation throws DestroyFailedException.

Android note: Up to and including API 25 this method did not have a default implementation. Implementations of this interface must provide a concrete implementation of this method in order to work on older versions of Android.

Throws
`DestroyFailedException`	if the destroy operation fails.
`SecurityException`	if the caller does not have permission to destroy this `Object`.

isDestroyed

Added in API level 1

 public boolean isDestroyed ()

Determine if this Object has been destroyed.

The default implementation returns false.

Returns
`boolean`	true if this `Object` has been destroyed, false otherwise.
