Interface Session

  • public interface Session
    A Session object represents a host session. Once you have obtained the Session object, you can access the other elements of the host session, such as the presentation space, operator information area, file transfer object and Printing services.

    • Method Detail

      • connect

        void connect()
        Attempts a connection to the host. The connection is attempted only if the current connection state is ConnectionState.DISCONNECTED. When this method is called, the connection state is first set to ConnectionState.CONNECTING. Only after the connection has been established is the status changed to ConnectionState.CONNECTED. You may choose to implement a timer in your code so if a connection does not succeed after a certain amount of time, you can call disconnect to cancel the connection attempt. Otherwise, the connection attempt may proceed indefinitely. This call returns immediately, status and errors are reported via ConnectionListener.

      • disconnect

        void disconnect()
        Disconnects from the host. If the connection is currently pending and this method is called, the connection attempt is interrupted. As soon as this method is called, the connection status is set to ConnectionState.DISCONNECTING. Only after the connection has disconnected is the status changed to ConnectionState.DISCONNECTED. This call returns immediately, status and errors are reported via ConnectionListener.

      • isConnected

        boolean isConnected()
        Determines whether the connection to the host is connected and ready.
        Returns:
        true if the connection status is ConnectionState.CONNECTED, false otherwise.

      • getConnectionState

        ConnectionState getConnectionState()
        Returns the current state of the host connection.
        Returns:
        the connection status

        Returns:
        the connected device name, the configured device name, or null.

      • setDeviceName

      • removeConnectionListener

        boolean removeConnectionListener​(ConnectionListener listener)
        Unregisters an event listener that no longer wishes to receive connection events. Before the object is unregistered, it receives a NotifyStop event.
