          public int getFlavor()

    - #### getNative

          public Object getNative()

      Get the platform-native event object. This might be the java.awt event on the desktop, though if you're using OpenGL on the desktop it'll be a NEWT event that JOGL uses. Android events are something else altogether. Bottom line, use this only if you know what you're doing, and don't make assumptions about the class type.
