`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.

Public methods

createInstance

Added in API level 37

public static PccClient createInstance (Context context, 
                IBinder binder)

Factory method to create an instance of PccClient. This should be called from onServiceConnected() with the IBinder received from the system

Example:

private final ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
  @Override
  public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
    mClient = PccClient.createInstance(MainActivity.this, service);
  }

  @Override
  public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
    mClient = null;
  }
};

//...
bindService(intent, mConnection, flags);

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: The Context from the calling component. This value cannot be `null`.
`binder`	`IBinder`: The IBinder object received from the service connection. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`PccClient`	A new instance of PccClient.

sendData

Added in API level 37

public void sendData (Bundle data)

Sends a Bundle of data to the connected PCC service. The Bundle is sanitized to enforce one-way data flow if the caller isn't allowed two-way communication with PCC components.

Parameters
`data`	`Bundle`: The Bundle of data to send. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if the Bundle contains unsafe data types and the caller isn't allowed two way communication with PCC components. To enforce a strictly one-way data flow, the `Bundle` is sanitized to prevent objects that can be used to establish a two-way communication channel like IBinder, Messenger, etc. Allowed data types are: Primitives and their arrays (e.g., int, char, boolean, String, byte[]) `PersistableBundle` Read-only `ParcelFileDescriptor` `SharedMemory` (must be read-only, or will be set to read-only) `Bitmap` Custom `Parcelable` objects must be serialized as a `byte[]`. Nested `Bundle` objects, which are recursively sanitized. Throws `IllegalArgumentException` if the depth exceeds 100.
`IllegalStateException`	if sendData is called after the service has been killed by the system
`RuntimeException`	if the PCC service is unavailable for any other reason.
`SecurityException`	if the packageName from the passed context does not match the actual package name of the app.
