WindowId

extends Object
implements Parcelable
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.WindowId

Class Overview

Safe identifier for a window. This currently allows you to retrieve and observe the input focus state of the window. Most applications will not use this, instead relying on the simpler (and more efficient) methods available on View . This classes is useful when window input interactions need to be done across processes: the class itself is a Parcelable that can be passed to other processes for them to interact with your window, and it provides a limited safe API that doesn't allow the other process to negatively harm your window.

Public Methods

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable's marshalled representation.

Returns
  • a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshalled by the Parcelable.

public boolean equals ( Object otherObj)

Comparison operator on two IntentSender objects, such that true is returned then they both represent the same operation from the same package.

Parameters
otherObj the object to compare this instance with.
Returns
  • true if the specified object is equal to this Object ; false otherwise.

public int hashCode ()

Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which equals(Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.

Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.

See Writing a correct hashCode method if you intend implementing your own hashCode method.

Returns
  • this object's hash code.

public boolean isFocused ()

Retrieve the current focus state of the associated window.

public void registerFocusObserver ( WindowId.FocusObserver observer)

Start monitoring for changes in the focus state of the window.

public String toString ()

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.

Returns
  • a printable representation of this object.

public void unregisterFocusObserver ( WindowId.FocusObserver observer)

Stop monitoring changes in the focus state of the window.

public void writeToParcel ( Parcel out, int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
out The Parcel in which the object should be written.
flags Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE .
