ej.microui.event.EventGenerator

ej.microui.event.generator.States

public class States
extends EventGenerator

A states event generator is usually associated to a group of physical devices holding a position (switch, rotary wheel encoder, ...) and allows to generate events relating to them. This class generates EVENT_TYPE events and allows to retrieve for each state its current value. Each instance can manage at most 256 states and each state can have a value between 0 and 255.
A state has a unique identifier between 0 and getNumberOfStates()-1

Constructor Detail

States

public States(int[] nbValues,
              int[] initialValues)

Creates a states generator.

Parameters:

nbValues - number of values for each state.

initialValues - initial value for each state.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if both arrays don't have the same length.

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if arrays length is greater than 255.

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if nbValues[i] < 0 or nbValues[i] > 255.

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if initialValues[i] < 0 or initialValues[i] >= nbValues[i].

Method Detail

getStateId

public static int getStateId(int event)

Gets the state's identifier held by the state event.

Parameters:

event - the state event to decode.

Returns:

id between 0 and 255.

getStateValue

public static int getStateValue(int event)

Gets the state's value held by the state event.

Parameters:

event - the state event to decode.

Returns:

value between 0 and 255.

getEventType

public int getEventType()

Gets the event type associated with the event generator. Default value is EVENT_TYPE.

Specified by:

getEventType in class EventGenerator

Returns:

the event type.

getNumberOfValues

public int getNumberOfValues(int stateId)

Gets the total number of values for the given state.

Parameters:

stateId - the state identifier value.

Returns:

the total number of values for the given state.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - when stateId is out of [0,getNumberOfStates()-1].

getCurrentValue

public int getCurrentValue(int stateId)

Gets the current value of the given state.

Parameters:

stateId - the state identifier value.

Returns:

a number between 0 and getNumberOfValues(int)-1.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - when stateId is out of [0,getNumberOfStates()-1].

getNumberOfStates

public int getNumberOfStates()

Gets the number of states managed by this instance.

Returns:

the number of states managed by this instance.

buildEvent

public int buildEvent(int stateId,
                      int value)

Builds a MicroUI event for the given state identifier on its value.

Parameters:

stateId - the state identifier value.

value - the new state value

Returns:

the MicroUI event

send

public void send(int stateId,
                 int value)

Stores the given state value and sends a MicroUI EVENT_TYPE to the States's listener.

Parameters:

stateId - the state identifier value.

value - the new state value

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - when stateId is out of [0,getNumberOfStates()-1].

IndexOutOfBoundsException - when value is out of [0,getNumberOfValues(int)-1].
