InputEvent

---

Kotlin |Java

abstract class InputEvent : Parcelable

kotlin.Any
↳	android.view.InputEvent

Known Direct Subclasses KeyEvent, MotionEvent KeyEvent Object used to report key and button events. MotionEvent Object used to report movement (mouse, pen, finger, trackball) events.

Common base class for input events.

Summary

Inherited constants

From class Parcelable Int CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR Descriptor bit used with describeContents(): indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor. Int PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE Flag for use with writeToParcel: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "Parcelable someFunction()", "void someFunction(out Parcelable)", or "void someFunction(inout Parcelable)". Some implementations may want to release resources at this point.

Public methods
open Int	describeContents()
InputDevice!	getDevice() Gets the device that this event came from.
abstract Int	getDeviceId() Gets the id for the device that this event came from.
abstract Long	getEventTime() Retrieve the time this event occurred, in the android.os.SystemClock#uptimeMillis time base.
abstract Int	getSource() Gets the source of the event.
open Boolean	isFromSource(source: Int) Determines whether the event is from the given source.

Inherited functions
From class Parcelable Unit writeToParcel(dest: Parcel, flags: Int) Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 9

open fun describeContents(): Int

Return
Int	a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or android.os.Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

getDevice

Added in API level 9

fun getDevice(): InputDevice!

Gets the device that this event came from.

Return
InputDevice!	The device, or null if unknown.

getDeviceId

Added in API level 9

abstract fun getDeviceId(): Int

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.

Return
Int	The device id.

getEventTime

Added in API level 16

abstract fun getEventTime(): Long

Retrieve the time this event occurred, in the android.os.SystemClock#uptimeMillis time base.

Return
Long	Returns the time this event occurred, in the android.os.SystemClock#uptimeMillis time base.

getSource

Added in API level 9

abstract fun getSource(): Int

Gets the source of the event.

Return
Int	The event source or InputDevice#SOURCE_UNKNOWN if unknown.

isFromSource

Added in API level 18

open fun isFromSource(source: Int): Boolean

Determines whether the event is from the given source.

Parameters
source	Int: The input source to check against. This can be a specific device type, such as InputDevice#SOURCE_TOUCH_NAVIGATION, or a more generic device class, such as InputDevice#SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER.

Return
Boolean	Whether the event is from the given source.
