Description

Interface Summary

AbstractString	Defines a set of utility methods for string data.
Comparator	Defines comparison methods useable to impose a total ordering on a collection of objects.
Factory	Provides basic definition of a factory, and classes registered with the factory registration system must implement this interface.
IntComparator	A comparator that uses integers as the elements.
IntEnumeration	Enumeration of integer elements.
LongEnumeration	Enumeration of long integer elements.
Persistable	Every object that can persist between handheld resets must implement persistable.
TLEFieldController	Defines methods to read and write type-length encoded (TLE) fields.
TimeSourceListener	Defines an interface for registering listeners onto a TimeSource to be able to receive callbacks when the TimeSource state changes between STATE_STOPPED, STATE_STARTED and STATE_PAUSED.
