Interface VirtualInputDevice

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable

public interface VirtualInputDevice
extends AutoCloseable

Represents a virtual input device that may need to be closed/disposed, providing a way Widgets that require exclusive access to the user's input (but perhaps not all of the user interactions with the app) need to provide a way for the form to dispose of it when a new input device needs to be displayed.

Examples of virtual input devices include the virtual keyboard and the Picker.

VirtualInputDevices should implement the AutoCloseable.close() method to safely dispose of itself. Before displaying the input device to the screen, it should call Form.setCurrentInputDevice(com.codename1.ui.VirtualInputDevice) which will execute the AutoCloseable.close() method of the the current input device.
