Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
IOIOLooper	createIOIOLooper(java.lang.String connectionType, java.lang.Object extra) Subclasses should implement this method by returning an implementation of IOIOLooper.

Method Detail

createIOIOLooper

IOIOLooper createIOIOLooper(java.lang.String connectionType,
                          java.lang.Object extra)

Subclasses should implement this method by returning an implementation of IOIOLooper. The caller provide enough information to uniquely identify the connection, through the parameters. null may be returned if the client is not interested to create a thread for this IOIO. This can be used in order to filter out unwanted connections, for example if the application is only intended for wireless connection, any wired connection attempts may be rejected, thus saving resources used for listening for incoming wired connections.

Parameters:

connectionType - A unique name of the connection type. Typically, the fully-qualified name of the connection class used to connect to the IOIO.

extra - A connection-type-specific object with extra information on the specific connection. Should provide information that enables distinguishing between different IOIO instances using the same connection class. For example, a Bluetooth connection type, might have the remote IOIO's Bluetooth name as extra.

Returns:

An implementation of IOIOLooper, or null to skip.
