Interface Receiver

All Known Implementing Classes:

StreamReceiver

public interface Receiver

Reads signals from the lircd socket. The actual work is done by a platform-specific Receiver. Most applications wouldn't use this class directly, use LIRCClient instead. Usage:

Receiver rec = ReceiverFactory.createReceiver();

while (keepListening){
String code = rec.readCode();
// do something with the code
}

rec.close();
