| ↳ | android.view.InputDevice |
Describes the capabilities of a particular input device.
Each input device may support multiple classes of input. For example, a multifunction 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.
Constant for retrieving the range of values for
orientation.
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.
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 mouse pointing device. This code is also used for other mouse-like pointing devices such as trackpads and trackpoints.
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 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 key character map associated with this input device.
Gets information about the range of values for a particular MotionEvent
coordinate.
| rangeType | The motion range constant. |

Gets the name of this input device.
Gets the input sources supported by this input device as a combined bitfield.
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())
See Writing a useful toString method
if you intend implementing your own toString method.
