collision in android

[game2d]

if i want collision between two objects. lets say object 1 is ball and object 2 is box. than in java i can use the getBounds().int ersects methods to test if they both are colliding.

so my question is that is there a function in android that i can use?

here is what i found out on google but nore 100% sure.

so insert of using

public Rectangle getBounds()
  { return ... }

i can use

public Rect getBounds()
  { return ... }

to test if collisionr.

 if (ball.getBounds().intersect(box.getBounds())) {
}

wasnt working for some reason. i also tried "intersects " but doesnt work

Please use intersect api.
