public boolean hasOverlappingRendering ()

Added in API level 16

Returns whether this View has content which overlaps.

This function, intended to be overridden by specific View types, is an optimization when alpha is set on a view. If rendering overlaps in a view with alpha < 1, that view is drawn to an offscreen buffer and then composited into place, which can be expensive. If the view has no overlapping rendering, the view can draw each primitive with the appropriate alpha value directly. An example of overlapping rendering is a TextView with a background image, such as a Button. An example of non-overlapping rendering is a TextView with no background, or an ImageView with only the foreground image. The default implementation returns true; subclasses should override if they have cases which can be optimized.

The current implementation of the saveLayer and saveLayerAlpha methods in Canvas necessitates that a View return true if it uses the methods internally without passing the CLIP_TO_LAYER_SAVE_FLAG .

Returns

true if the content in this view might overlap, false otherwise.

Parameters

extraSpace	if non-zero, this is the number of extra entries you would like in the returned array in which you can place your own states.

Returns

Returns an array holding the current Drawable state of the 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.

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 onPopulateAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) {
     super.onPopulateAccessibilityEvent(event);
     final int flags = DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_DATE | DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_WEEKDAY;
     String selectedDateUtterance = DateUtils.formatDateTime(mContext,
         mCurrentDate.getTimeInMillis(), flags);
     event.getText().add(selectedDateUtterance);
 }

If an View.AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(AccessibilityDelegate) its onPopulateAccessibilityEvent(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 accessibility event which to populate.

public void onRtlPropertiesChanged (int layoutDirection)

Added in API level 17

Called when any RTL property (layout direction or text direction or text alignment) has been changed. Subclasses need to override this method to take care of cached information that depends on the resolved layout direction, or to inform child views that inherit their layout direction. The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters

layoutDirection	the direction of the layout

public void setAdjustViewBounds (boolean adjustViewBounds)

Added in API level 1

Set this to true if you want the ImageView to adjust its bounds to preserve the aspect ratio of its drawable.

Note: If the application targets API level 17 or lower, adjustViewBounds will allow the drawable to shrink the view bounds, but not grow to fill available measured space in all cases. This is for compatibility with legacy MeasureSpec and RelativeLayout behavior.

android:adjustViewBounds

Parameters

adjustViewBounds	Whether to adjust the bounds of this view to preserve the original aspect ratio of the drawable.

public void setAlpha (int alpha)

Added in API level 1

This method was deprecated in API level 16.
use #setImageAlpha(int) instead

public void setImageMatrix ( Matrix matrix)

Added in API level 1

public void setImageResource (int resId)

Added in API level 1

Sets a drawable as the content of this ImageView.

This does Bitmap reading and decoding on the UI thread, which can cause a latency hiccup. If that's a concern, consider using setImageDrawable(android.graphics.drawable.Drawable) or setImageBitmap(android.graphics.Bitmap) and BitmapFactory instead.

Related XML Attributes

android:src

Parameters

resId	the resource identifier of the drawable

public void setImageState (int[] state, boolean merge)

Added in API level 1

public void setImageURI ( Uri uri)

Added in API level 1

Sets the content of this ImageView to the specified Uri.

Parameters

uri	The Uri of an image

public void setMaxHeight (int maxHeight)

Added in API level 1

An optional argument to supply a maximum height for this view. Only valid if setAdjustViewBounds(boolean) has been set to true. To set an image to be a maximum of 100 x 100 while preserving the original aspect ratio, do the following: 1) set adjustViewBounds to true 2) set maxWidth and maxHeight to 100 3) set the height and width layout params to WRAP_CONTENT.

Note that this view could be still smaller than 100 x 100 using this approach if the original image is small. To set an image to a fixed size, specify that size in the layout params and then use setScaleType(android.widget.ImageView.ScaleType) to determine how to fit the image within the bounds.

Related XML Attributes

android:maxHeight

Parameters

maxHeight	maximum height for this view

public void setMaxWidth (int maxWidth)

Added in API level 1

An optional argument to supply a maximum width for this view. Only valid if setAdjustViewBounds(boolean) has been set to true. To set an image to be a maximum of 100 x 100 while preserving the original aspect ratio, do the following: 1) set adjustViewBounds to true 2) set maxWidth and maxHeight to 100 3) set the height and width layout params to WRAP_CONTENT.

Related XML Attributes

android:maxWidth

Parameters

maxWidth	maximum width for this view

public void setScaleType ( ImageView.ScaleType scaleType)

Added in API level 1

Controls how the image should be resized or moved to match the size of this ImageView.

Related XML Attributes

android:scaleType

Parameters

scaleType	The desired scaling mode.

public void setSelected (boolean selected)

Added in API level 1

Changes the selection state of this view. A view can be selected or not. Note that selection is not the same as focus. Views are typically selected in the context of an AdapterView like ListView or GridView; the selected view is the view that is highlighted.

Parameters

selected	true if the view must be selected, false otherwise

public void setVisibility (int visibility)

Added in API level 1

Set the enabled state of this view.

Parameters

visibility	One of `VISIBLE` , `INVISIBLE` , or `GONE` .

Protected Methods

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 void onAttachedToWindow ()

Added in API level 1

This is called when the view is attached to a window. At this point it has a Surface and will start drawing. Note that this function is guaranteed to be called before onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas) , however it may be called any time before the first onDraw -- including before or after onMeasure(int, int) .

protected void onDetachedFromWindow ()

Added in API level 1

This is called when the view is detached from a window. At this point it no longer has a surface for drawing.

protected void onDraw ( Canvas canvas)

Added in API level 1

Implement this to do your drawing.

Parameters

canvas	the canvas on which the background will be drawn

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 boolean setFrame (int l, int t, int r, int b)

Added in API level 1

Assign a size and position to this view. This is called from layout.

Parameters

l	Left position, relative to parent
t	Top position, relative to parent
r	Right position, relative to parent
b	Bottom position, relative to parent

Returns

true if the new size and position are different than the previous ones

protected boolean verifyDrawable ( Drawable dr)

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

dr	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.
