28  * Monitors files (using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inotify">inotify</a>)
29  * to fire an event after files are accessed or changed by by any process on
30  * the device (including this one).  FileObserver is an abstract class;
31  * subclasses must implement the event handler {@link #onEvent(int, String)}.
32  *
33  * <p>Each FileObserver instance monitors a single file or directory.
34  * If a directory is monitored, events will be triggered for all files and
35  * subdirectories (recursively) inside the monitored directory.</p>
36  *
37  * <p>An event mask is used to specify which changes or actions to report.
38  * Event type constants are used to describe the possible changes in the
39  * event mask as well as what actually happened in event callbacks.</p>
40  *
41  * <p class="caution"><b>Warning</b>: If a FileObserver is garbage collected, it
42  * will stop sending events.  To ensure you keep receiving events, you must
43  * keep a reference to the FileObserver instance from some other live object.</p>
