Class Overview

FrameLayout is designed to block out an area on the screen to display a single item. Generally, FrameLayout should be used to hold a single child view, because it can be difficult to organize child views in a way that's scalable to different screen sizes without the children overlapping each other. You can, however, add multiple children to a FrameLayout and control their position within the FrameLayout by assigning gravity to each child, using the android:layout_gravity attribute.

Child views are drawn in a stack, with the most recently added child on top. The size of the FrameLayout is the size of its largest child (plus padding), visible or not (if the FrameLayout's parent permits). Views that are GONE are used for sizing only if setConsiderGoneChildrenWhenMeasuring() is set to true.

XML Attributes

android:foreground

Defines the drawable to draw over the content. This can be used as an overlay. The foreground drawable participates in the padding of the content if the gravity is set to fill.

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

May be a color value, in the form of " # rgb ", " # argb ", " # rrggbb ", or " # aarrggbb ".

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol foreground .

Related Methods

setForeground(Drawable)

android:foregroundGravity

Defines the gravity to apply to the foreground drawable. The gravity defaults to fill.

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constant values.

Constant	Value	Description
`top`	0x30	Push object to the top of its container, not changing its size.
`bottom`	0x50	Push object to the bottom of its container, not changing its size.
`left`	0x03	Push object to the left of its container, not changing its size.
`right`	0x05	Push object to the right of its container, not changing its size.
`center_vertical`	0x10	Place object in the vertical center of its container, not changing its size.
`fill_vertical`	0x70	Grow the vertical size of the object if needed so it completely fills its container.
`center_horizontal`	0x01	Place object in the horizontal center of its container, not changing its size.
`fill_horizontal`	0x07	Grow the horizontal size of the object if needed so it completely fills its container.
`center`	0x11	Place the object in the center of its container in both the vertical and horizontal axis, not changing its size.
`fill`	0x77	Grow the horizontal and vertical size of the object if needed so it completely fills its container.
`clip_vertical`	0x80	Additional option that can be set to have the top and/or bottom edges of the child clipped to its container's bounds. The clip will be based on the vertical gravity: a top gravity will clip the bottom edge, a bottom gravity will clip the top edge, and neither will clip both edges.
`clip_horizontal`	0x08	Additional option that can be set to have the left and/or right edges of the child clipped to its container's bounds. The clip will be based on the horizontal gravity: a left gravity will clip the right edge, a right gravity will clip the left edge, and neither will clip both edges.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol foregroundGravity .

Public Constructors

public FrameLayout ( Context context)

Added in API level 1

public FrameLayout ( Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

Added in API level 1

public FrameLayout ( Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle)

Added in API level 1

Public Methods

public void draw ( Canvas canvas)

Added in API level 1

Manually render this view (and all of its children) to the given Canvas. The view must have already done a full layout before this function is called. When implementing a view, implement onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas) instead of overriding this method. If you do need to override this method, call the superclass version.

Parameters

canvas	The Canvas to which the View is rendered.

public boolean gatherTransparentRegion ( Region region)

Added in API level 1

This is used by the RootView to perform an optimization when the view hierarchy contains one or several SurfaceView. SurfaceView is always considered transparent, but its children are not, therefore all View objects remove themselves from the global transparent region (passed as a parameter to this function).

Parameters

region	The transparent region for this ViewAncestor (window).

Returns

Returns true if the effective visibility of the view at this point is opaque, regardless of the transparent region; returns false if it is possible for underlying windows to be seen behind the view.

public FrameLayout.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams ( AttributeSet attrs)

Added in API level 1

Returns a new set of layout parameters based on the supplied attributes set.

Parameters

attrs	the attributes to build the layout parameters from

Returns

an instance of ViewGroup.LayoutParams or one of its descendants

public boolean getConsiderGoneChildrenWhenMeasuring ()

Added in API level 1

This method was deprecated in API level 14.
This method is deprecated in favor of getMeasureAllChildren() , which was renamed for consistency with setMeasureAllChildren() .

Determines whether all children, or just those in the VISIBLE or INVISIBLE state, are considered when measuring.

Returns

Whether all children are considered when measuring.

public Drawable getForeground ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the drawable used as the foreground of this FrameLayout. The foreground drawable, if non-null, is always drawn on top of the children.

Returns

A Drawable or null if no foreground was set.

public int getForegroundGravity ()

Added in API level 16

Describes how the foreground is positioned.

Related XML Attributes

android:foregroundGravity

Returns

foreground gravity.

public boolean getMeasureAllChildren ()

Added in API level 14

Determines whether all children, or just those in the VISIBLE or INVISIBLE state, are considered when measuring.

Returns

public void jumpDrawablesToCurrentState ()

Added in API level 11

Call Drawable.jumpToCurrentState() on all Drawable objects associated with this view.

public void onInitializeAccessibilityEvent ( AccessibilityEvent event)

Added in API level 14

Initializes an AccessibilityEvent with information about this View which is the event source. In other words, the source of an accessibility event is the view whose state change triggered firing the event.

Example: Setting the password property of an event in addition to properties set by the super implementation:

          public void onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) {
     super.onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(event);
     event.setPassword(true);
 }

If an View.AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(AccessibilityDelegate) its onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

Note: Always call the super implementation before adding information to the event, in case the default implementation has basic information to add.

Parameters

event	The event to initialize.

public void onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo ( AccessibilityNodeInfo info)

Added in API level 14

Initializes an AccessibilityNodeInfo with information about this view. The base implementation sets:

Subclasses should override this method, call the super implementation, and set additional attributes.

If an View.AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(AccessibilityDelegate) its onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo(View, AccessibilityNodeInfo) is responsible for handling this call.

Parameters

info	The instance to initialize.

public void setForeground ( Drawable drawable)

Added in API level 1

Supply a Drawable that is to be rendered on top of all of the child views in the frame layout. Any padding in the Drawable will be taken into account by ensuring that the children are inset to be placed inside of the padding area.

android:measureAllChildren

Parameters

measureAll	true to consider children marked GONE, false otherwise. Default value is false.

public boolean shouldDelayChildPressedState ()

Added in API level 14

Return true if the pressed state should be delayed for children or descendants of this ViewGroup. Generally, this should be done for containers that can scroll, such as a List. This prevents the pressed state from appearing when the user is actually trying to scroll the content. The default implementation returns true for compatibility reasons. Subclasses that do not scroll should generally override this method and return false.

Protected Methods

protected boolean checkLayoutParams ( ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Added in API level 1

protected void drawableStateChanged ()

Added in API level 1

This function is called whenever the state of the view changes in such a way that it impacts the state of drawables being shown.

Be sure to call through to the superclass when overriding this function.

protected FrameLayout.LayoutParams generateDefaultLayoutParams ()

Added in API level 1

Returns a set of layout parameters with a width of MATCH_PARENT , and a height of MATCH_PARENT .

Returns

a set of default layout parameters or null

protected ViewGroup.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams ( ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Added in API level 1

Returns a safe set of layout parameters based on the supplied layout params. When a ViewGroup is passed a View whose layout params do not pass the test of checkLayoutParams(android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams) , this method is invoked. This method should return a new set of layout params suitable for this ViewGroup, possibly by copying the appropriate attributes from the specified set of layout params.

Parameters

p	The layout parameters to convert into a suitable set of layout parameters for this ViewGroup.

Returns

an instance of ViewGroup.LayoutParams or one of its descendants

protected void onLayout (boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom)

Added in API level 1

Called from layout when this view should assign a size and position to each of its children. Derived classes with children should override this method and call layout on each of their children.

Parameters

changed	This is a new size or position for this view
left	Left position, relative to parent
top	Top position, relative to parent
right	Right position, relative to parent
bottom	Bottom position, relative to parent

protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)

Added in API level 1

Measure the view and its content to determine the measured width and the measured height. This method is invoked by measure(int, int) and should be overriden by subclasses to provide accurate and efficient measurement of their contents.

CONTRACT: When overriding this method, you must call setMeasuredDimension(int, int) to store the measured width and height of this view. Failure to do so will trigger an IllegalStateException , thrown by measure(int, int) . Calling the superclass' onMeasure(int, int) is a valid use.

The base class implementation of measure defaults to the background size, unless a larger size is allowed by the MeasureSpec. Subclasses should override onMeasure(int, int) to provide better measurements of their content.

If this method is overridden, it is the subclass's responsibility to make sure the measured height and width are at least the view's minimum height and width ( getSuggestedMinimumHeight() and getSuggestedMinimumWidth() ).

Parameters

widthMeasureSpec	horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with `View.MeasureSpec` .
heightMeasureSpec	vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with `View.MeasureSpec` .

protected void onSizeChanged (int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh)

Added in API level 1

This is called during layout when the size of this view has changed. If you were just added to the view hierarchy, you're called with the old values of 0.

Parameters

w	Current width of this view.
h	Current height of this view.
oldw	Old width of this view.
oldh	Old height of this view.

protected boolean verifyDrawable ( Drawable who)

Added in API level 1

If your view subclass is displaying its own Drawable objects, it should override this function and return true for any Drawable it is displaying. This allows animations for those drawables to be scheduled.

Be sure to call through to the super class when overriding this function.

Parameters

who	The Drawable to verify. Return true if it is one you are displaying, else return the result of calling through to the super class.

Returns

boolean If true than the Drawable is being displayed in the view; else false and it is not allowed to animate.
