Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 1
int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance.

getDevice

Added in API level 9
InputDevice getDevice ()

Gets the device that this event came from.

Returns
InputDevice The device, or null if unknown.

getDeviceId

Added in API level 9
int getDeviceId ()

Gets the id for the device that this event came from. An id of zero indicates that the event didn't come from a physical device and maps to the default keymap. The other numbers are arbitrary and you shouldn't depend on the values.

Returns
int The device id.
