@ohos.multimodalInput.inputMonitor (Input Monitor) (System API)

The inputMonitor module implements listening for events of input devices, including the touchscreen, mouse, touchpad, etc.

NOTE

  • The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

  • In this document, global indicates the entire touchscreen or touchpad. For example, listening for global touch events means to listen for touch events of the entire touchpad when a user touches at any position on the touchpad.

  • The APIs provided by this module are system APIs.
