Proxy

public class Proxy
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	java.net.Proxy

This class represents a proxy setting, typically a type (http, socks) and a socket address. A Proxy is an immutable object.

Summary

Fields
`public static final Proxy`	`NO_PROXY` A proxy setting that represents a `DIRECT` connection, basically telling the protocol handler not to use any proxying.

Public constructors
`Proxy(Proxy.Type type, SocketAddress sa)` Creates an entry representing a PROXY connection.

Public methods
`SocketAddress`	`address()` Returns the socket address of the proxy, or `null` if its a direct connection.
`final boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Compares this object against the specified object.
`final int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hashcode for this Proxy.
`String`	`toString()` Constructs a string representation of this Proxy.
`Proxy.Type`	`type()` Returns the proxy type.

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

Fields

NO_PROXY

Added in API level 1

 public static final Proxy NO_PROXY

A proxy setting that represents a DIRECT connection, basically telling the protocol handler not to use any proxying. Used, for instance, to create sockets bypassing any other global proxy settings (like SOCKS):

Socket s = new Socket(Proxy.NO_PROXY);

Public constructors

Proxy

Added in API level 1

 public Proxy (Proxy.Type type, SocketAddress sa)

Creates an entry representing a PROXY connection. Certain combinations are illegal. For instance, for types Http, and Socks, a SocketAddress must be provided.

Use the Proxy.NO_PROXY constant for representing a direct connection.

Parameters
`type`	`Proxy.Type`: the `Type` of the proxy
`sa`	`SocketAddress`: the `SocketAddress` for that proxy

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	when the type and the address are incompatible

Public methods

address

Added in API level 1

 public SocketAddress address ()

Returns the socket address of the proxy, or null if its a direct connection.

Returns
`SocketAddress`	a `SocketAddress` representing the socket end point of the proxy

equals

Added in API level 1

 public final boolean equals (Object obj)

Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and it represents the same proxy as this object.

Two instances of Proxy represent the same address if both the SocketAddresses and type are equal.

Parameters
`obj`	`Object`: the object to compare against.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if the objects are the same; `false` otherwise.

InetSocketAddress.equals(java.lang.Object)

hashCode

Added in API level 1

 public final int hashCode ()

Returns a hashcode for this Proxy.

Returns
`int`	a hash code value for this Proxy.

toString

Added in API level 1

 public String toString ()

Constructs a string representation of this Proxy. This String is constructed by calling toString() on its type and concatenating " @ " and the toString() result from its address if its type is not DIRECT.

Returns
`String`	a string representation of this object.

type

Added in API level 1

 public Proxy.Type type ()

Returns the proxy type.

Returns
`Proxy.Type`	a Type representing the proxy type
