It's not possible to use java constants in a case statement. condp = could be used in this case but these are things which could be used in a java switch statement and so it's annoying to give up constant time dispatch. For example:
(case (.getActionMasked event)
MotionEvent/ACTION_POINTER_DOWN :down
MotionEvent/ACTION_UP :up
MotionEvent/ACTION_POINTER_UP :up
MotionEvent/ACTION_MOVE :move
MotionEvent/ACTION_CANCEL :cancel
MotionEvent/ACTION_OUTSIDE :outside
:none))
Doesn't work, but there is no reason this couldn't be resolved at compile time and dispatched in constant time.
