GestureBinding mixin
A binding for the gesture subsystem.
Lifecycle of pointer events and the gesture arena
PointerDownEvent
When a PointerDownEvent is received by the GestureBinding (from Window.onPointerDataPacket, as interpreted by the PointerEventConverter), a hitTest is performed to determine which HitTestTarget nodes are affected. (Other bindings are expected to implement hitTest to defer to HitTestable objects. For example, the rendering layer defers to the RenderView and the rest of the render object hierarchy.)
The affected nodes then are given the event to handle (dispatchEvent calls HitTestTarget.handleEvent for each affected node). If any have relevant GestureRecognizers, they provide the event to them using GestureRecognizer.addPointer. This typically causes the recognizer to register with the PointerRouter to receive notifications regarding the pointer in question.
Once the hit test and dispatching logic is complete, the event is then passed to the aforementioned PointerRouter, which passes it to any objects that have registered interest in that event.
Finally, the gestureArena is closed for the given pointer (GestureArenaManager.close), which begins the process of selecting a gesture to win that pointer.
Other events
A pointer that is PointerEvent.down may send further events, such as PointerMoveEvent, PointerUpEvent, or PointerCancelEvent. These are sent to the same HitTestTarget nodes as were found when the down event was received (even if they have since been disposed; it is the responsibility of those objects to be aware of that possibility).
Then, the events are routed to any still-registered entrants in the PointerRouter's table for that pointer.
When a PointerUpEvent is received, the GestureArenaManager.sweep method is invoked to force the gesture arena logic to terminate if necessary.

Methods
-
cancelPointer(
int pointer) → void - Dispatch a PointerCancelEvent for the given pointer soon. [...]
-
dispatchEvent(
PointerEvent event, HitTestResult result) → void -
Dispatch an event to a hit test result's path. [...]
override
-
handleEvent(
PointerEvent event, HitTestEntry entry) → void -
Override this method to receive events.
override
-
hitTest(
HitTestResult result, Offset position) → void -
Determine which HitTestTarget objects are located at a given position.
override
-
initInstances(
) → void -
The initialization method. Subclasses override this method to hook into
the platform and otherwise configure their services. Subclasses must call
"super.initInstances()". [...]
override
-
unlocked(
) → void -
Called by lockEvents when events get unlocked. [...]
override
-
initServiceExtensions(
) → void -
Called when the binding is initialized, to register service
extensions. [...]
@mustCallSuper, @protected, inherited
-
lockEvents(
Future< void> callback()) → Future< void> -
Locks the dispatching of asynchronous events and callbacks until the
callback's future completes. [...]
@protected, inherited
-
noSuchMethod(
Invocation invocation) → dynamic -
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]
inherited
-
performReassemble(
) → Future< void> -
This method is called by reassembleApplication to actually cause the
application to reassemble, e.g. after a hot reload. [...]
@mustCallSuper, @protected, inherited
-
reassembleApplication(
) → Future< void> -
Cause the entire application to redraw, e.g. after a hot reload. [...]
inherited
-
registerBoolServiceExtension(
{String name, AsyncValueGetter< bool> getter, AsyncValueSetter< bool> setter }) → void -
Registers a service extension method with the given name (full
name "ext.flutter.name"), which takes a single argument
"enabled" which can have the value "true" or the value "false"
or can be omitted to read the current value. (Any value other
than "true" is considered equivalent to "false". Other arguments
are ignored.) [...]
@protected, inherited
-
registerNumericServiceExtension(
{String name, AsyncValueGetter< double> getter, AsyncValueSetter< double> setter }) → void -
Registers a service extension method with the given name (full
name "ext.flutter.name"), which takes a single argument with the
same name as the method which, if present, must have a value
that can be parsed by double.parse, and can be omitted to read
the current value. (Other arguments are ignored.) [...]
@protected, inherited
-
registerServiceExtension(
{String name, ServiceExtensionCallback callback }) → void -
Registers a service extension method with the given name (full name
"ext.flutter.name"). [...]
@protected, inherited
-
registerSignalServiceExtension(
{String name, AsyncCallback callback }) → void -
Registers a service extension method with the given name (full
name "ext.flutter.name"), which takes no arguments and returns
no value. [...]
@protected, inherited
-
registerStringServiceExtension(
{String name, AsyncValueGetter< String> getter, AsyncValueSetter< String> setter }) → void -
Registers a service extension method with the given name (full name
"ext.flutter.name"), which optionally takes a single argument with the
name "value". If the argument is omitted, the value is to be read,
otherwise it is to be set. Returns the current value. [...]
@protected, inherited
-
toString(
) → String -
Returns a string representation of this object.

Operators
-
operator ==(
dynamic other) → bool -
The equality operator. [...]

-
The singleton instance of this object.
