Android devices can be docked into several different kinds of dock devices . These include car or home docks and digital versus analog docks. So when a dock of the device is changed then it throws an intent of ACTION_DOCK_EVENT

If a device is docked, it can be docked in any one of four different type of dock:

  • Car
  • Desk
  • Low-End (Analog) Desk
  • High-End (Digital) Desk
