Remarks

The input device is a Bluetooth stylus.

Note that this bit merely indicates that an input device is capable of obtaining input from a Bluetooth stylus. To determine whether a given touch event was produced by a stylus, examine the tool type returned by MotionEvent#getToolType(int) for each individual pointer.

A single touch event may multiple pointers with different tool types, such as an event that has one pointer with tool type MotionEvent#TOOL_TYPE_FINGER and another pointer with tool type MotionEvent#TOOL_TYPE_STYLUS. So it is important to examine the tool type of each pointer, regardless of the source reported by MotionEvent#getSource().

A bluetooth stylus generally receives its pressure and button state information from the stylus itself, and derives the rest from another source. For example, a Bluetooth stylus used in conjunction with a touchscreen would derive its contact position and pointer size from the touchscreen and may not be any more accurate than other tools such as fingers.
