Method Detail

getTimestamp

TimestampService.Timestamp getTimestamp(int id)

Returns a Timestamp object, and updates the timestamp counter.

getTimestampCounter

long getTimestampCounter()

Returns the timestamp counter value, and updates the timestamp counter. This is useful for applications that do not need distinguish between groups and different views. That is, if the application is such that the counter value will only be used within the same group, and that view changes are handled otherwise.
