`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.

`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.

`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.

Constants

GAME_MODE_BATTERY

public static final int GAME_MODE_BATTERY

Battery game mode will save battery and give longer game play time.

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

GAME_MODE_CUSTOM

public static final int GAME_MODE_CUSTOM

Custom game mode that has user-provided configuration overrides.

Custom game mode is expected to be handled only by the platform using users' preferred config. It is currently not allowed to opt in custom mode in game mode XML file nor expected to perform app-based optimizations when activated.

Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)

GAME_MODE_PERFORMANCE

public static final int GAME_MODE_PERFORMANCE

Performance game mode maximizes the game's performance.

This game mode is highly likely to increase battery consumption.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

GAME_MODE_STANDARD

public static final int GAME_MODE_STANDARD

Standard game mode means the platform will use the game's default performance characteristics.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

GAME_MODE_UNSUPPORTED

public static final int GAME_MODE_UNSUPPORTED

Game mode is not supported for this application.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

Public methods

getGameMode

public int getGameMode ()

Return the user selected game mode for this application.

An application can use android:isGame="true" or android:appCategory="game" to indicate that the application is a game. If an application is not a game, always return GAME_MODE_UNSUPPORTED.

Developers should call this API every time the application is resumed.

If a game's targetSdkVersion is Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU or lower, and when the game mode is set to GAME_MODE_CUSTOM which is available in Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE or newer, this API will return GAME_MODE_STANDARD instead for backward compatibility.

Returns
`int`	Value is `GAME_MODE_UNSUPPORTED`, `GAME_MODE_STANDARD`, `GAME_MODE_PERFORMANCE`, `GAME_MODE_BATTERY`, or `GAME_MODE_CUSTOM`

setGameState

public void setGameState (GameState gameState)

Called by games to communicate the current state to the platform.

Parameters
`gameState`	`GameState`: An object set to the current state. This value cannot be `null`.
