Interface Device
-
public interface Device
Interface for identifying device services.
A service must implement this interface or use the
Constants.DEVICE_CATEGORY
registration property to indicate that it is a device. Any services implementing this interface or registered with theDEVICE_CATEGORY
property will be discovered by the device manager.Device services implementing this interface give the device manager the opportunity to indicate to the device that no drivers were found that could (further) refine it. In this case, the device manager calls the
noDriverFound()
method on theDevice
object.Specialized device implementations will extend this interface by adding methods appropriate to their device category to it.
