Interface DeviceDescriptionProvider

All Superinterfaces:

public interface DeviceDescriptionProvider
extends MtjExtension

Device Description Provider offers information about devices and groups them by similar capabilities. Functionalities, that the Device Description Provider implements, are: Device Description database, matching Device Descriptions query based on a Device Group and management of custom Device Groups.

Device Description shows basic capabilities of devices. Every Device Description instance represents one real device and is identified by vendor name and device model. Capabilities could be device configuration, device profiles or services API that are supported by the device. Capabilities could be also e.g. color depth, screen size, canvas size, camera resolution, supported data exchange protocol, heap size, max jar size, operating system, supported video format or supported sound format.

Method Summary

DeviceDescription	getDeviceDescription(java.lang.String vendor, java.lang.String model) Returns DeviceDescription object based on the vendor and model.
DeviceGroup[]	getDeviceGroups() Returns all defined device groups.
DeviceDescription[]	getMatchingDeviceDescriptions(DeviceGroup group) Returns DeviceDescription objects that match to the device group.
