android onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event)

在看RecyclerView源码的时候发现有一个方法实现，叫onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event)，从方法注释看是专门响应一些外接设备的操作的，比如游戏手柄，鼠标，滚轮，触控板等。从RecyclerView的onGenericMotionEvent实现来看，确实也是如此。
代码如下：

public boolean onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        if (mLayout == null) {
            return false;
        }
        if (mLayoutFrozen) {
            return false;
        }
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEventCompat.ACTION_SCROLL) {
            final float vScroll, hScroll;
            if ((event.getSource() & InputDeviceCompat.SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER) != 0) {
                if (mLayout.canScrollVertically()) {
                    // Inverse the sign of the vertical scroll to align the scroll orientation
                    // with AbsListView.
                    vScroll = -event.getAxisValue(MotionEvent.AXIS_VSCROLL);
                } else {
                    vScroll = 0f;
                }
                if (mLayout.canScrollHorizontally()) {
                    hScroll = event.getAxisValue(MotionEvent.AXIS_HSCROLL);
                } else {
                    hScroll = 0f;
                }
            } else if ((event.getSource() & InputDeviceCompat.SOURCE_ROTARY_ENCODER) != 0) {
                final float axisScroll = event.getAxisValue(MotionEventCompat.AXIS_SCROLL);
                if (mLayout.canScrollVertically()) {
                    // Invert the sign of the vertical scroll to align the scroll orientation
                    // with AbsListView.
                    vScroll = -axisScroll;
                    hScroll = 0f;
                } else if (mLayout.canScrollHorizontally()) {
                    vScroll = 0f;
                    hScroll = axisScroll;
                } else {
                    vScroll = 0f;
                    hScroll = 0f;
                }
            } else {
                vScroll = 0f;
                hScroll = 0f;
            }

            if (vScroll != 0 || hScroll != 0) {
                scrollByInternal((int) (hScroll * mScaledHorizontalScrollFactor),
                        (int) (vScroll * mScaledVerticalScrollFactor), event);
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

RecyclerView只正对滚动事件做了处理，然后我们可以通过event.getSource()方法获取到是哪个外接设备触发的事件，有兴趣的同学可以看一下。
