| ↳ | android.view.InputDevice |
Describes the capabilities of a particular input device.
Each input device may support multiple classes of input. For example, a multi-function keyboard may compose the capabilities of a standard keyboard together with a track pad mouse or other pointing device.
Some input devices present multiple distinguishable sources of input. Applications can query the framework about the characteristics of each distinct source.
As a further wrinkle, different kinds of input sources uses different coordinate systems to describe motion events. Refer to the comments on the input source constants for the appropriate interpretation.

The keyboard supports a complement of alphabetic keys.
There is no keyboard.
The keyboard is not fully alphabetic. It may be a numeric keypad or an assortment of buttons that are not mapped as alphabetic keys suitable for text input.

Use AXIS_TOUCH_MINOR instead.
Constant for retrieving the range of values for AXIS_TOUCH_MINOR.
A special input source constant that is used when filtering input devices to match devices that provide any type of input source.
The input source has buttons or keys.
Examples: SOURCE_KEYBOARD, SOURCE_DPAD.
A KeyEvent should be interpreted as a button or key press.
Use getKeyCharacterMap() to query the device's button and key mappings.
The input source is a joystick.
A MotionEvent should be interpreted as absolute joystick movements.
Use getMotionRange(int) to query the range of positions.
A mask for input source classes. Each distinct input source constant has one or more input source class bits set to specify the desired interpretation for its input events.
The input source is a pointing device associated with a display.
Examples: SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN, SOURCE_MOUSE.
A MotionEvent should be interpreted as absolute coordinates in
display units according to the View hierarchy. Pointer down/up indicated when
the finger touches the display or when the selection button is pressed/released.
Use getMotionRange(int) to query the range of the pointing device. Some devices permit
touches outside the display area so the effective range may be somewhat smaller or larger
than the actual display size.
The input source is an absolute positioning device not associated with a display
(unlike SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER).
A MotionEvent should be interpreted as absolute coordinates in
device-specific surface units.
Use getMotionRange(int) to query the range of positions.
The input source is a trackball navigation device.
Examples: SOURCE_TRACKBALL.
A MotionEvent should be interpreted as relative movements in device-specific
units used for navigation purposes. Pointer down/up indicates when the selection button
is pressed/released.
Use getMotionRange(int) to query the range of motion.
The input source is a game pad.
(It may also be a SOURCE_JOYSTICK).
The input source is a joystick.
(It may also be a SOURCE_GAMEPAD).
The input source is a keyboard.
This source indicates pretty much anything that has buttons. Use
getKeyboardType() to determine whether the keyboard has alphabetic keys
and can be used to enter text.
The input source is a mouse pointing device. This code is also used for other mouse-like pointing devices such as trackpads and trackpoints.
The input source is a stylus pointing device.
Note that this bit merely indicates that an input device is capable of obtaining
input from a stylus. To determine whether a given touch event was produced
by a stylus, examine the tool type returned by getToolType(int)
for each individual pointer.
A single touch event may multiple pointers with different tool types,
such as an event that has one pointer with tool type
TOOL_TYPE_FINGER and another pointer with tool type
TOOL_TYPE_STYLUS. So it is important to examine
the tool type of each pointer, regardless of the source reported
by getSource().
The input source is a touch pad or digitizer tablet that is not
associated with a display (unlike SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN).
The input source is a touch screen pointing device.
The input source is unknown.
Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable's marshalled representation.
Gets the input device descriptor, which is a stable identifier for an input device.
An input device descriptor uniquely identifies an input device. Its value is intended to be persistent across system restarts, and should not change even if the input device is disconnected, reconnected or reconfigured at any time.
It is possible for there to be multiple InputDevice instances that have the
same input device descriptor. This might happen in situations where a single
human input device registers multiple InputDevice instances (HID collections)
that describe separate features of the device, such as a keyboard that also
has a trackpad. Alternately, it may be that the input devices are simply
indistinguishable, such as two keyboards made by the same manufacturer.
The input device descriptor returned by getDescriptor() should only be
used when an application needs to remember settings associated with a particular
input device. For all other purposes when referring to a logical
InputDevice instance at runtime use the id returned by getId().
Gets information about the input device with the specified id.
| id | The device id. |
|---|
Gets the ids of all input devices in the system.
Gets the input device id.
Each input device receives a unique id when it is first configured
by the system. The input device id may change when the system is restarted or if the
input device is disconnected, reconnected or reconfigured at any time.
If you require a stable identifier for a device that persists across
boots and reconfigurations, use getDescriptor().
Gets the key character map associated with this input device.
Gets the keyboard type.
Gets information about the range of values for a particular MotionEvent axis
used by a particular source on the device.
If the device supports multiple sources, the same axis may have different meanings
for each source.
| axis | The axis constant. |
|---|---|
| source | The source for which to return information. |
Gets information about the range of values for a particular MotionEvent axis.
If the device supports multiple sources, the same axis may have different meanings
for each source. Returns information about the first axis found for any source.
To obtain information about the axis for a specific source, use
getMotionRange(int, int).
| axis | The axis constant. |
|---|
Gets the ranges for all axes supported by the device.
Gets the name of this input device.
Gets the input sources supported by this input device as a combined bitfield.
Gets the vibrator service associated with the device, if there is one.
Even if the device does not have a vibrator, the result is never null.
Use hasVibrator() to determine whether a vibrator is
present.
Note that the vibrator associated with the device may be different from
the system vibrator. To obtain an instance of the system vibrator instead, call
getSystemService(String) with VIBRATOR_SERVICE as argument.
Returns true if the device is a virtual input device rather than a real one,
such as the virtual keyboard (see VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD).
Virtual input devices are provided to implement system-level functionality and should not be seen or configured by users.
Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression:
getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

toString method
if you intend implementing your own toString method.
