Welcome to ThirdEye UI Controls developer guide. By the end of this guide you will know how to listen for actions performed by the UI Controls and implement your own custom logic based on them.
UI Controls was designed in such a way so that you, the third-party developer, have to do as little as possible to integrate its interactions into your app.
That is why everything is managed by functionality already implemented into Android and there is no external library needed.

Depending on the action, there are two ways UI Controls communicates with the Android system and by extension with your app.

• For the clicks performed on the UI Menu’s buttons and for the cursor’s movement and position, UI Controls broadcasts Intents.
• For all the other clicks, you handle the events as you normally would if you developed for any regular Android device.

UI Controls broadcasts Intents as follows:

The way to use these follows the Android guidelines for using Broadcasts. For more info on how to use Broadcasts, read here https://developer.android.com/guide/components/broadcasts

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("thirdeye.uicontrols.action.UI_MENU_VISIBLE");
filter.addAction("thirdeye.uicontrols.action.CURSOR_MOVED");
BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
   @Override
   public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
   if(intent.getAction().equals("thirdeye.uicontrols.action.UI_MENU_VISIBLE")) {
      //do something
   }
   else if(intent.getAction().equals("thirdeye.uicontrols.action.CURSOR_MOVED")){
      int x = intent.getIntExtra("x", 0);
      int y = intent.getIntExtra("y", 0);
         //do something more
   }
 }
};
registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter(filter));

@Override
protected void onPause() {
   super.onPause();
   unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
   super.onResume();
   registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
}
