InputEvent

public abstract class InputEvent
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
↳	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 interface android.os.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(Parcel, int)`: 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)`".

Fields
`public static final Creator<InputEvent>`	`CREATOR`

Public methods
`int`	`describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`final 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 `SystemClock.uptimeMillis()` time base.
`abstract int`	`getSource()` Gets the source of the event.
`boolean`	`isFromSource(int source)` Determines whether the event is from the given source.

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

From interface android.os.Parcelable

`abstract int`	`describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`abstract void`	`writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 9

 public static final Creator<InputEvent> CREATOR

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 9

 public 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(android.os.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. Value is either `0` or `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

getDevice

Added in API level 9

 public final InputDevice getDevice ()

Gets the device that this event came from.

Returns
`InputDevice`	The device, or null if unknown.

getDeviceId

Added in API level 9

 public abstract 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.

See also:

InputDevice.getDevice(int)

getEventTime

Added in API level 16

 public abstract long getEventTime ()

Retrieve the time this event occurred, in the SystemClock.uptimeMillis() time base.

Returns
`long`	Returns the time this event occurred, in the `SystemClock.uptimeMillis()` time base.

getSource

Added in API level 9

 public abstract int getSource ()

Gets the source of the event.

Returns
`int`	The event source or `InputDevice.SOURCE_UNKNOWN` if unknown.

See also:

InputDevice.getSources()

isFromSource

Added in API level 18

 public boolean isFromSource (int source)

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`.

Returns
`boolean`	Whether the event is from the given source.
