InsetDrawable

extends Drawable
implements Drawable.Callback
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.graphics.drawable.Drawable
     ↳ android.graphics.drawable.InsetDrawable

Class Overview

A Drawable that insets another Drawable by a specified distance. This is used when a View needs a background that is smaller than the View's actual bounds.

It can be defined in an XML file with the <inset> element. For more information, see the guide to Drawable Resources .

XML Attributes

android:drawable

Reference to a drawable resource to use for the frame. If not given, the drawable must be defined by the first child tag.

Must be a reference to another resource, in the form " @[+][ package :] type : name " or to a theme attribute in the form " ?[ package :][ type :] name ".

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol drawable .

android:visible

Provides initial visibility state of the drawable; the default value is false. See setVisible(boolean, boolean) .

Must be a boolean value, either " true " or " false ".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form " @[ package :] type : name ") or theme attribute (in the form " ?[ package :][ type :] name ") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol visible .

public InsetDrawable ( Drawable drawable, int inset)

Added in API level 1

public InsetDrawable ( Drawable drawable, int insetLeft, int insetTop, int insetRight, int insetBottom)

Added in API level 1

Public Methods

public void draw ( Canvas canvas)

Added in API level 1

Draw in its bounds (set via setBounds) respecting optional effects such as alpha (set via setAlpha) and color filter (set via setColorFilter).

Parameters
canvas The canvas to draw into

public int getAlpha ()

Gets the current alpha value for the drawable. 0 means fully transparent, 255 means fully opaque. This method is implemented by Drawable subclasses and the value returned is specific to how that class treats alpha. The default return value is 255 if the class does not override this method to return a value specific to its use of alpha.

public int getChangingConfigurations ()

Added in API level 1

Return a mask of the configuration parameters for which this drawable may change, requiring that it be re-created. The default implementation returns whatever was provided through setChangingConfigurations(int) or 0 by default. Subclasses may extend this to or in the changing configurations of any other drawables they hold.

Returns
  • Returns a mask of the changing configuration parameters, as defined by Configuration .

public Drawable.ConstantState getConstantState ()

Added in API level 1

Return a Drawable.ConstantState instance that holds the shared state of this Drawable. q

Returns
  • The ConstantState associated to that Drawable.

public Drawable getDrawable ()

Returns the drawable wrapped by this InsetDrawable. May be null.

public int getIntrinsicHeight ()

Added in API level 1

Return the intrinsic height of the underlying drawable object. Returns -1 if it has no intrinsic height, such as with a solid color.

public int getIntrinsicWidth ()

Added in API level 1

Return the intrinsic width of the underlying drawable object. Returns -1 if it has no intrinsic width, such as with a solid color.

public int getOpacity ()

Added in API level 1

Return the opacity/transparency of this Drawable. The returned value is one of the abstract format constants in PixelFormat : UNKNOWN , TRANSLUCENT , TRANSPARENT , or OPAQUE .

Generally a Drawable should be as conservative as possible with the value it returns. For example, if it contains multiple child drawables and only shows one of them at a time, if only one of the children is TRANSLUCENT and the others are OPAQUE then TRANSLUCENT should be returned. You can use the method resolveOpacity(int, int) to perform a standard reduction of two opacities to the appropriate single output.

Note that the returned value does not take into account a custom alpha or color filter that has been applied by the client through the setAlpha(int) or setColorFilter(ColorFilter) methods.

Returns
  • int The opacity class of the Drawable.

public boolean getPadding ( Rect padding)

Added in API level 1

Return in padding the insets suggested by this Drawable for placing content inside the drawable's bounds. Positive values move toward the center of the Drawable (set Rect.inset). Returns true if this drawable actually has a padding, else false. When false is returned, the padding is always set to 0.

public void inflate ( Resources r, XmlPullParser parser, AttributeSet attrs)

Added in API level 1

Inflate this Drawable from an XML resource.

Throws
XmlPullParserException
IOException

public 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 boolean isStateful ()

Added in API level 1

Indicates whether this view will change its appearance based on state. Clients can use this to determine whether it is necessary to calculate their state and call setState.

Returns
  • True if this view changes its appearance based on state, false otherwise.

public Drawable mutate ()

Added in API level 3

Make this drawable mutable. This operation cannot be reversed. A mutable drawable is guaranteed to not share its state with any other drawable. This is especially useful when you need to modify properties of drawables loaded from resources. By default, all drawables instances loaded from the same resource share a common state; if you modify the state of one instance, all the other instances will receive the same modification. Calling this method on a mutable Drawable will have no effect.

Returns
  • This drawable.

public 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 void setAlpha (int alpha)

Added in API level 1

Specify an alpha value for the drawable. 0 means fully transparent, and 255 means fully opaque.

public void setColorFilter ( ColorFilter cf)

Added in API level 1

Specify an optional colorFilter for the drawable. Pass null to remove any filters.

public boolean setVisible (boolean visible, boolean restart)

Added in API level 1

Set whether this Drawable is visible. This generally does not impact the Drawable's behavior, but is a hint that can be used by some Drawables, for example, to decide whether run animations.

Parameters
visible Set to true if visible, false if not.
restart You can supply true here to force the drawable to behave as if it has just become visible, even if it had last been set visible. Used for example to force animations to restart.
Returns
  • boolean Returns true if the new visibility is different than its previous state.

public 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.

Protected Methods

protected void onBoundsChange ( Rect bounds)

Added in API level 1

Override this in your subclass to change appearance if you vary based on the bounds.

protected boolean onStateChange (int[] state)

Added in API level 1

Override this in your subclass to change appearance if you recognize the specified state.

Returns
  • Returns true if the state change has caused the appearance of the Drawable to change (that is, it needs to be drawn), else false if it looks the same and there is no need to redraw it since its last state.
