getDownTime() and getEventTime()

android, android-event

Solution

`getDownTime` returns the time this series of events started. For example, if you got:

`ACTION_DOWN`, `ACTION_MOVE`, and then `ACTION_MOVE`.

If you call `getDownTime` on this latest event, you will get the time of the `ACTION_DOWN`, which is the event that started the series.

If you call `getEventTime`you will get when the latest `ACTION_MOVE` happened.

Problem

What is difference between:getEventTime() and getDownTime()? In documentation http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEvent.html Both seems to do the same thing but they output different values.
