Class Overview

Implement this interface if you want to create an animated drawable that extends Drawable . Upon retrieving a drawable, use setCallback(android.graphics.drawable.Drawable.Callback) to supply your implementation of the interface to the drawable; it uses this interface to schedule and execute animation changes.

Summary

Public Methods
abstract void	invalidateDrawable ( Drawable who) Called when the drawable needs to be redrawn.
abstract void	scheduleDrawable ( Drawable who, Runnable what, long when) A Drawable can call this to schedule the next frame of its animation.
abstract void	unscheduleDrawable ( Drawable who, Runnable what) A Drawable can call this to unschedule an action previously scheduled with `scheduleDrawable(Drawable, Runnable, long)` .

Public Methods

public abstract void invalidateDrawable ( Drawable who)

Added in API level 1

Called when the drawable needs to be redrawn. A view at this point should invalidate itself (or at least the part of itself where the drawable appears).

Parameters

who	The drawable that is requesting the update.

public abstract void scheduleDrawable ( Drawable who, Runnable what, long when)

Added in API level 1

A Drawable can call this to schedule the next frame of its animation. An implementation can generally simply call postAtTime(Runnable, Object, long) with the parameters (what, who, when) to perform the scheduling.

Parameters

who	The drawable being scheduled.
what	The action to execute.
when	The time (in milliseconds) to run. The timebase is `uptimeMillis()`

public abstract void unscheduleDrawable ( Drawable who, Runnable what)

Added in API level 1

A Drawable can call this to unschedule an action previously scheduled with scheduleDrawable(Drawable, Runnable, long) . An implementation can generally simply call removeCallbacks(Runnable, Object) with the parameters (what, who) to unschedule the drawable.

Parameters

who	The drawable being unscheduled.
what	The action being unscheduled.
