Vibrator

public abstract class Vibrator
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.os.Vibrator

Class that operates the vibrator on the device.

If your process exits, any vibration you started will stop.

Summary

`abstract void`	`cancel()` Turn the vibrator off.
`abstract boolean`	`hasAmplitudeControl()` Check whether the vibrator has amplitude control.
`abstract boolean`	`hasVibrator()` Check whether the hardware has a vibrator.

`void`	`vibrate(VibrationEffect vibe)` Requires `Manifest.permission.VIBRATE`
`void`	`vibrate(long[] pattern, int repeat)` This method was deprecated in API level 26. Use `vibrate(android.os.VibrationEffect)` instead.
`void`	`vibrate(long[] pattern, int repeat, AudioAttributes attributes)` This method was deprecated in API level 26. Use `vibrate(android.os.VibrationEffect, android.media.AudioAttributes)` instead.
`void`	`vibrate(VibrationEffect vibe, AudioAttributes attributes)` Requires `Manifest.permission.VIBRATE`
`void`	`vibrate(long milliseconds, AudioAttributes attributes)` This method was deprecated in API level 26. Use `vibrate(android.os.VibrationEffect, android.media.AudioAttributes)` instead.

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 timeout, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeout)` Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object.

Public methods

cancel

Added in API level 1

public abstract void cancel ()

Turn the vibrator off.
Requires Manifest.permission.VIBRATE

hasAmplitudeControl

Added in API level 26

public abstract boolean hasAmplitudeControl ()

Check whether the vibrator has amplitude control.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the hardware can control the amplitude of the vibrations, otherwise false.

hasVibrator

Added in API level 11

public abstract boolean hasVibrator ()

Check whether the hardware has a vibrator.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the hardware has a vibrator, else false.

vibrate

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 26

public void vibrate (long milliseconds)

This method was deprecated in API level 26.
Use vibrate(android.os.VibrationEffect) instead.

Vibrate constantly for the specified period of time.
Requires Manifest.permission.VIBRATE

Parameters
`milliseconds`	`long`: The number of milliseconds to vibrate.

vibrate

Added in API level 26

public void vibrate (VibrationEffect vibe)

Requires Manifest.permission.VIBRATE

Parameters
`vibe`	`VibrationEffect`

vibrate

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 26

public void vibrate (long[] pattern, 
                int repeat)

This method was deprecated in API level 26.
Use vibrate(android.os.VibrationEffect) instead.

Vibrate with a given pattern.

Pass in an array of ints that are the durations for which to turn on or off the vibrator in milliseconds. The first value indicates the number of milliseconds to wait before turning the vibrator on. The next value indicates the number of milliseconds for which to keep the vibrator on before turning it off. Subsequent values alternate between durations in milliseconds to turn the vibrator off or to turn the vibrator on.

To cause the pattern to repeat, pass the index into the pattern array at which to start the repeat, or -1 to disable repeating.

Requires Manifest.permission.VIBRATE

Parameters
`pattern`	`long`: an array of longs of times for which to turn the vibrator on or off.
`repeat`	`int`: the index into pattern at which to repeat, or -1 if you don't want to repeat.

vibrate

Added in API level 21
Deprecated in API level 26

public void vibrate (long[] pattern, 
                int repeat, 
                AudioAttributes attributes)

This method was deprecated in API level 26.
Use vibrate(android.os.VibrationEffect, android.media.AudioAttributes) instead.

Vibrate with a given pattern.

To cause the pattern to repeat, pass the index into the pattern array at which to start the repeat, or -1 to disable repeating.

Requires Manifest.permission.VIBRATE

Parameters
`pattern`	`long`: an array of longs of times for which to turn the vibrator on or off.
`repeat`	`int`: the index into pattern at which to repeat, or -1 if you don't want to repeat.
`attributes`	`AudioAttributes`: `AudioAttributes` corresponding to the vibration. For example, specify `AudioAttributes#USAGE_ALARM` for alarm vibrations or `AudioAttributes#USAGE_NOTIFICATION_RINGTONE` for vibrations associated with incoming calls.
