public interface ItemSelectorReturnType

Provides an interface that defines information to be returned by the item selector view, when any entity is selected.

This information is also used by the item selector to decide which item selector views to display to the user. Only the item selector views that support the item selector return type are displayed.

The item selector return types are used in two different cases:

1. The item selector view specifies a list of the supported item selector return types for that view, via the method ItemSelectorView.getSupportedItemSelectorReturnTypes()

2. When creating a new item selector criterion, you need to specify a list of the desired item selector return types that the client is expecting to receive when an entity is selected.
