Fields

public static final Creator<InputBinding> CREATOR

Added in API level 3

Used to make this class parcelable.

Public Constructors

public InputBinding (InputConnection conn, IBinder connToken, int uid, int pid)

Added in API level 3

Constructor.

Parameters
conn The interface for communicating back with the application.
connToken A remoteable token for communicating across processes.
uid The user id of the client of this binding.
pid The process id of where the binding came from.

public InputBinding (InputConnection conn, InputBinding binding)

Added in API level 3

Constructor from an existing InputBinding taking a new local input connection interface.

Parameters
conn The new connection interface.
binding Existing binding to copy.

Public Methods

public int describeContents ()

Added in API level 3

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 InputConnection getConnection ()

Added in API level 3

Return the connection for interacting back with the application.

public IBinder getConnectionToken ()

Added in API level 3

Return the token for the connection back to the application. You can not use this directly, it must be converted to a InputConnection for you.

public int getPid ()

Added in API level 3

Return the process id where this binding came from.

public int getUid ()

Added in API level 3

Return the user id of the client associated with this binding.

public String toString ()

Added in API level 3

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 writeToParcel (Parcel dest, int flags)

Added in API level 3

Used to package this object into a Parcel.

Parameters
dest The Parcel to be written.
flags The flags used for parceling.
