     24  * Interface for classes that can handle and potentially transform a stream of
     25  * motion and accessibility events. Instances implementing this interface are
     26  * ordered in a sequence to implement a transformation chain. An instance may
     27  * consume, modify, and generate events. It is responsible to deliver the
     28  * output events to the next transformation in the sequence set via
     29  * {@link #setNext(EventStreamTransformation)}.
     30  *
     31  * Note that since instances implementing this interface are transformations
     32  * of the event stream, an instance should work against the event stream
     33  * potentially modified by previous ones. Hence, the order of transformations
     34  * is important.
     35  *
     36  * It is a responsibility of each handler that decides to react to an event
     37  * sequence and prevent any subsequent ones from performing an action to send
     38  * the appropriate cancel event given it has delegated a part of the events
     39  * that belong to the current gesture. This will ensure that subsequent
     40  * transformations will not be left in an inconsistent state and the applications
     41  * see a consistent event stream.
     42  *
     43  * For example, to cancel a {@link KeyEvent} the handler has to emit an event
     44  * with action {@link KeyEvent#ACTION_UP} with the additional flag
     45  * {@link KeyEvent#FLAG_CANCELED}. To cancel a {@link MotionEvent} the handler
     46  * has to send an event with action {@link MotionEvent#ACTION_CANCEL}.
     47  *
     48  * It is a responsibility of each handler that received a cancel event to clear its
     49  * internal state and to propagate the event to the next one to enable subsequent
     50  * transformations to clear their internal state.
     51  *
     52  * It is a responsibility for each transformation to start handling events only
     53  * after an event that designates the start of a well-formed event sequence.
     54  * For example, if it received a down motion event followed by a cancel motion
     55  * event, it should not handle subsequent move and up events until it gets a down.
