EventValueDescription

java.lang.Object
- com.android.ddmlib.log.EventValueDescription

```
public final class EventValueDescription
extends java.lang.Object
```
Describes an EventContainer value.
This is a stand-alone object, not linked to a particular Event. It describes the value, by name, type (EventContainer.EventValueType), and (if needed) value unit (EventValueDescription.ValueType).
The index of the value is not contained within this class, and is instead dependent on the index of this particular object in the array of EventValueDescription returned by EventLogParser.getEventInfoMap() when queried for a particular event tag.
