Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description

- Method Detail
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns:
    
    The name of the state.
  - getFSM
```
FSM<E> getFSM()
```
    Returns:
    
    The FSM that contains the state.
  - checkStartingState
```
default void checkStartingState()
                         throws CancelFSMException
```
    Checks whether the starting state of the fsm is this state. In this case, the fsm is notified about the starting of the FSM.
    
    Throws:
    
    CancelFSMException - @throws CancelFSMException If the interaction is cancelled by a handler during the starting step.
  - uninstall
```
default void uninstall()
```
    Uninstall (ie flushes) the state. Useful to clear data. The state must not be used after that.
