## Public Methods

#### public abstract Bundle getAutoMatchCriteria ()

Retrieves the automatch criteria used to create or join this room, if any. May be null if the room has no automatch properties.

##### Returns

- A bundle containing the automatch criteria for this room.

#### public abstract int getAutoMatchWaitEstimateSeconds ()

Retrieves the estimated wait time for automatching to finish for players who are not automatched immediately, as measured from the time that the room entered the automatching pool.

##### Returns

- The estimated wait time in seconds, or -1 if the room is not automatching or no estimate could be provided.

#### public abstract long getCreationTimestamp ()

##### Returns

- The server timestamp at which the room was created.

#### public abstract String getCreatorId ()

##### Returns

- The ID of the participant who created this Room. Note that not all participants will see the same value for the creator. In the case of an automatch, this value may differ for each participant.

#### public abstract String getDescription ()

##### Returns

- Description of this room.

#### public abstract void getDescription (CharArrayBuffer dataOut)

Loads the room description into the given `CharArrayBuffer`.

##### Parameters

dataOut | The buffer to load the data into.

#### public abstract Participant getParticipant (String participantId)

Get a participant in a room by its ID. Note that the participant ID must correspond to a participant in this match, or this method will throw an exception.

##### Parameters

participantId | Match-local ID of the participant to retrieve status for.

##### Returns

- The participant corresponding to the given ID.

##### Throws

| IllegalStateException} if the participant is not a participant in this match.

#### public abstract String getParticipantId (String playerId)

##### Parameters

playerId | Player ID to find participant ID for.

##### Returns

- The participant ID corresponding to given player, or null if none found.

#### public abstract ArrayList<String> getParticipantIds ()

Get the IDs of the participants of the given room.

##### Returns

- The IDs of the participants in this room. These are returned in the participant order of the room. Note that these are not stable across rooms.

#### public abstract int getParticipantStatus (String participantId)

Get the status of a participant in a room. Note that the participant ID must correspond to a participant in this room, or this method will throw an exception.

##### Parameters

participantId | Room-local ID of the participant to retrieve status for.

##### Returns

- The current status of the participant in this room. One of `STATUS_INVITED`, `STATUS_JOINED`, `STATUS_DECLINED`, or `STATUS_LEFT`.

##### Throws
