 /**
- * This class encapsulates scrolling.  The duration of the scroll
- * can be passed in the constructor and specifies the maximum time that
- * the scrolling animation should take.  Past this time, the scrolling is 
- * automatically moved to its final stage and computeScrollOffset()
- * will always return false to indicate that scrolling is over.
+ * <p>This class encapsulates scrolling. You can use scrollers ({@link Scroller}
+ * or {@link OverScroller}) to collect the data you need to produce a scrolling
+ * animation&mdash;for example, in response to a fling gesture. Scrollers track
+ * scroll offsets for you over time, but they don't automatically apply those
+ * positions to your view. It's your responsibility to get and apply new
+ * coordinates at a rate that will make the scrolling animation look smooth.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Here is a simple example:</p>
+ *
+ * <pre> private Scroller mScroller = new Scroller(context);
+ * ...
+ * public void zoomIn() {
+ *     // Revert any animation currently in progress
+ *     mScroller.forceFinished(true);
+ *     // Start scrolling by providing a starting point and
+ *     // the distance to travel
+ *     mScroller.startScroll(0, 0, 100, 0);
+ *     // Invalidate to request a redraw
+ *     invalidate();
+ * }</pre>
+ *
+ * <p>To track the changing positions of the x/y coordinates, use
+ * {@link #computeScrollOffset}. The method returns a boolean to indicate
+ * whether the scroller is finished. If it isn't, it means that a fling or
+ * programmatic pan operation is still in progress. You can use this method to
+ * find the current offsets of the x and y coordinates, for example:</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>if (mScroller.computeScrollOffset()) {
+ *     // Get current x and y positions
+ *     int currX = mScroller.getCurrX();
+ *     int currY = mScroller.getCurrY();
+ *    ...
+ * }</pre>
