Platform (selenium-api 2.47.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<Platform>
- - org.openqa.selenium.Platform

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Platform>
```
public enum Platform
extends Enum<Platform>
```
Represents the known and supported Platforms that WebDriver runs on. This is pretty close to the Operating System, but differs slightly, because this class is used to extract information such as program locations and line endings.

```
  - UNIX
```
public static final Platform UNIX
```
    Many platforms have UNIX traits, amongst them LINUX, Solaris and BSD.
  - LINUX
```
public static final Platform LINUX
```
  - ANDROID
```
public static final Platform ANDROID
```
  - ANY
```
public static final Platform ANY
```
    Never returned, but can be used to request a browser running on any operating system.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static Platform[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (Platform c : Platform.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Platform valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getPartOfOsName
```
public String[] getPartOfOsName()
```
  - getCurrent
```
public static Platform getCurrent()
```
    Get current platform (not necessarily the same as operating system).
    
    Returns:
    current platform
  - extractFromSysProperty
```
public static Platform extractFromSysProperty(String osName)
```
    Extracts platforms based on system properties in Java and uses a heuristic to determine the most likely operating system. If unable to determine the operating system, it will default to UNIX.
    
    Parameters:
    osName - the operating system name to determine the platform of
    
    Returns:
    the most likely platform based on given operating system name
  - extractFromSysProperty
```
public static Platform extractFromSysProperty(String osName,
                              String osVersion)
```
    Extracts platforms based on system properties in Java and uses a heuristic to determine the most likely operating system. If unable to determine the operating system, it will default to UNIX.
    
    Parameters:
    osName - the operating system name to determine the platform of
    osVersion - the operating system version to determine the platform of
    
    Returns:
    the most likely platform based on given operating system name and version
  - fromString
```
public static Platform fromString(String name)
```
    Gets a platform with the name matching the parameter.
    
    Parameters:
    name - the platform name
    
    Returns:
    the Platform enum value matching the parameter
  - is
```
public boolean is(Platform compareWith)
```
    Heuristic for comparing two platforms. If platforms (which is not the same thing as operating systems) are found to be approximately similar in nature, this will return true. For instance the LINUX platform is similar to UNIX, and will give a positive result if compared.
    
    Parameters:
    compareWith - the platform to compare with
    
    Returns:
    true if platforms are approximately similar, false otherwise
  - family
```
public Platform family()
```
    Returns a platform that represents a family for the current platform. For instance the LINUX if a part of the UNIX family, the XP is a part of the WINDOWS family.
    
    Returns:
    the family platform for the current one
  - getMajorVersion
```
public int getMajorVersion()
```
    Returns the major version of this platform.
    
    Returns:
    the major version of specified platform
  - getMinorVersion
```
public int getMinorVersion()
```
    Returns the minor version of this platform.
    
    Returns:
    the minor version of specified platform
