    Gesture

    A gesture is a hand-drawn shape on a touch screen. It can have one or multiple strokes. Each stroke is a sequence of timed points. A user-defined gesture can be recognized by a GestureLibrary.

                    CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR
                      
                         Descriptor bit used with describeContents(): indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.

                    PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE
                      
                         Flag for use with writeToParcel: 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)". Some implementations may want to release resources at this point.
