public boolean appliesToWidget(Widget widget)

getSpecificity

public int getSpecificity()

Description copied from interface: Selector

Returns the specificity of this selector.

The specificity allows to determine in which order the rules of a stylesheet should be applied.

A specificity is composed of four numbers (defined by CSS2 specification):

• count 1 if the declaration is from is a 'style' attribute rather than a rule with a selector, 0 otherwise (= a)
• count the number of ID attributes in the selector (= b)
• count the number of other attributes and pseudo-classes in the selector (= c)
• count the number of widget names and pseudo-widgets in the selector (= d)

Concatenating the four numbers a-b-c-d (in a number system with a large base) gives the specificity. In this implementation, each number is stored on a byte in an integer. SelectorHelper provides a method to compute the specificity of a selector.

Specified by:

getSpecificity in interface Selector

Returns:

the specificity of this selector.
