                int source)Maximum absolute value of velocity to initiate a fling for a motion generated by an
 InputDevice with an id of inputDeviceId, from an input source and on
 a given motion event axis.
 
Similar to getScaledMinimumFlingVelocity(int, int, int), but for maximum fling
 velocity, instead of minimum. Also, unlike that method which returns
 Integer.MAX_VALUE for bad input device ID, source and/or motion event axis inputs,
 this method returns Integer.MIN_VALUE for such bad inputs.

| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | |
getScaledMaximumFlingVelocity
public int getScaledMaximumFlingVelocity ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | Maximum velocity to initiate a fling, as measured in pixels per second. | 
getScaledMinimumFlingVelocity
public int getScaledMinimumFlingVelocity ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | Minimum velocity to initiate a fling, as measured in pixels per second. | 
getScaledMinimumFlingVelocity
public int getScaledMinimumFlingVelocity (int inputDeviceId, 
                int axis, 
                int source)Minimum absolute value of velocity to initiate a fling for a motion generated by an
 InputDevice with an id of inputDeviceId, from an input source and on
 a given motion event axis.
 
Before utilizing this method to get a minimum fling velocity for a motion generated by the input device, scale the velocity of the motion events generated by the input device to pixels per second.
For instance, if you tracked MotionEvent.AXIS_SCROLL vertical velocities generated
 from a InputDevice.SOURCE_ROTARY_ENCODER, the velocity returned from
 VelocityTracker will be in the units with which the axis values were reported in the
 motion event. Before comparing that velocity against the minimum fling velocity specified
 here, make sure that the MotionEvent.AXIS_SCROLL velocity from the tracker is
 calculated in "units per second" (see VelocityTracker.computeCurrentVelocity(int),
 VelocityTracker.computeCurrentVelocity(int, float) to adjust your velocity
 computations to "per second"), and use getScaledVerticalScrollFactor() to change this
 velocity value to "pixels/second".
 
If the provided inputDeviceId is not valid, or if the input device whose ID is
 provided does not support the given motion event source and/or axis, this method will return
 Integer.MAX_VALUE.
 
Obtaining the correct arguments for this method call
inputDeviceId: if calling this method in response to a MotionEvent, use
 the device ID that is reported by the event, which can be obtained using
 MotionEvent.getDeviceId(). Otherwise, use a valid ID that is obtained from
 InputDevice.getId(), or from an InputManager instance
 (InputManager.getInputDeviceIds() gives all the valid input device IDs).
 
axis: a MotionEvent may report data for multiple axes, and each axis may
 have multiple data points for different pointers. Use the axis for which you obtained the
 velocity for (VelocityTracker lets you calculate velocities for a specific axis. Use
 the axis for which you calculated velocity). You can use
 InputDevice.getMotionRanges() to get all the InputDevice.MotionRanges for the
 InputDevice, from which you can derive all the valid axes for the device.
 
source: use MotionEvent.getSource() if calling this method in response to a
 MotionEvent. Otherwise, use a valid source for the InputDevice. You can use
 InputDevice.getMotionRanges() to get all the InputDevice.MotionRanges for the
 InputDevice, from which you can derive all the valid sources for the device.
 
This method optimizes calls over multiple input device IDs, so caching the return value of the method is not necessary if you are handling multiple input devices.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| inputDeviceId | int: the ID of theInputDevicethat generated the motion triggering
          fling. | 
| axis | int: the axis on which the motion triggering the fling happened. This axis should be
          a valid axis that can be reported by the provided input device from the provided
          input device source. | 
| source | int: the input source of the motion causing fling. This source should be a valid
          source for theInputDevicewhose ID isinputDeviceId. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the minimum velocity, in pixels/second, to trigger fling. | 
getScaledMinimumScalingSpan

getScaledVerticalScrollFactor
public float getScaledVerticalScrollFactor ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| float | Amount to scroll in response to a vertical MotionEvent.ACTION_SCROLLevent.
 Multiply this by the event's axis value to obtain the number of pixels to be scrolled. | 
getScaledWindowTouchSlop
public int getScaledWindowTouchSlop ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | Distance in pixels a touch must be outside the bounds of a window for it to be counted as outside the window for purposes of dismissing that window. | 
getScrollBarFadeDuration
public static int getScrollBarFadeDuration ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | Duration of the fade when scrollbars fade away in milliseconds | 
getScrollBarSize
public static int getScrollBarSize ()
      This method was deprecated
      in API level 15.
    Use getScaledScrollBarSize() instead.
  
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | The width of the horizontal scrollbar and the height of the vertical scrollbar in dips | 
getScrollDefaultDelay
public static int getScrollDefaultDelay ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | Default delay before the scrollbars fade in milliseconds | 
getScrollFriction
public static float getScrollFriction ()
The amount of friction applied to scrolls and flings.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| float | A scalar dimensionless value representing the coefficient of friction. | 
getScrollFrictionAmount
public float getScrollFrictionAmount ()
The amount of friction applied to scrolls and flings.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| float | A scalar dimensionless value representing the coefficient of friction. | 
getTapTimeout
public static int getTapTimeout ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the duration in milliseconds we will wait to see if a touch event is a tap or a scroll. If the user does not move within this interval, it is considered to be a tap. | 
getTapTimeoutMillis
public int getTapTimeoutMillis ()
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the duration in milliseconds we will wait to see if a touch event is a tap or a scroll. If the user does not move within this interval, it is considered to be a tap. | 
getTextCursorBlinkIntervalMillis
public int getTextCursorBlinkIntervalMillis ()
Returns the duration in milliseconds of the text cursor blink interval, which is the elapsed time between inversions of the color of the text cursor's pixels.
The value is user-configurable and is constrained to the following range:
- 0 (don't blink)
- >= 333 (fast blink, the minimum blink interval that is comfortable for photosensitivity)
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the duration in milliseconds of the text cursor blink interval | 
getTouchSlop
public static int getTouchSlop ()
      This method was deprecated
      in API level 15.
    Use getScaledTouchSlop() instead.
  
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | Distance in dips a touch can wander before we think the user is scrolling | 
getWindowTouchSlop
public static int getWindowTouchSlop ()
      This method was deprecated
      in API level 15.
    Use getScaledWindowTouchSlop() instead.
  
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | Distance in dips a touch must be outside the bounds of a window for it to be counted as outside the window for purposes of dismissing that window. | 
getZoomControlsTimeout
public static long getZoomControlsTimeout ()

| Returns | |
|---|---|
| long | the time the zoom controls should be visible expressed in milliseconds. | 
hasPermanentMenuKey
public boolean hasPermanentMenuKey ()
Report if the device has a permanent menu key available to the user.
As of Android 3.0, devices may not have a permanent menu key available. Apps should use the action bar to present menu options to users. However, there are some apps where the action bar is inappropriate or undesirable. This method may be used to detect if a menu key is present. If not, applications should provide another on-screen affordance to access functionality.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | true if a permanent menu key is present, false otherwise. | 
shouldShowMenuShortcutsWhenKeyboardPresent
public boolean shouldShowMenuShortcutsWhenKeyboardPresent ()
Check if shortcuts should be displayed in menus.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | Trueif shortcuts should be displayed in menus. |
