Public methods

autofill

Added in API level 26
public void autofill (AutofillValue value)

Automatically fills the content of this view with the value.

Views support the Autofill Framework mainly by:

  • Providing the metadata defining what the view means and how it can be autofilled.
  • Implementing the methods that autofill the view.

onProvideAutofillStructure(android.view.ViewStructure, int) is responsible for the former, this method is responsible for latter.

This method does nothing by default, but when overridden it typically:

  1. Checks if the provided value matches the expected type (which is defined by getAutofillType()).
  2. Checks if the view is editable - if it isn't, it should return right away.
  3. Call the proper getter method on AutofillValue to fetch the actual value.
  4. Pass the actual value to the equivalent setter in the view.

For example, a text-field view could implement the method this way:

 @Override
 public void autofill(AutofillValue value) {
   if (!value.isText() || !this.isEditable()) {
      return;
   }
   CharSequence text = value.getTextValue();
   if (text != null) {
     this.setText(text);
   }
 }
 

If the value is updated asynchronously, the next call to AutofillManager#notifyValueChanged(View) must happen after the value was changed to the autofilled value. If not, the view will not be considered autofilled.

Note: After this method is called, the value returned by getAutofillValue() must be equal to the value passed to it, otherwise the view will not be highlighted as autofilled.

Parameters
value AutofillValue: value to be autofilled.

drawableHotspotChanged

Added in API level 21
public void drawableHotspotChanged (float x, 
                float y)

This function is called whenever the view hotspot changes and needs to be propagated to drawables or child views managed by the view.

Dispatching to child views is handled by dispatchDrawableHotspotChanged(float, float).

Be sure to call through to the superclass when overriding this function.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
x float: hotspot x coordinate

y float: hotspot y coordinate

getAccessibilityClassName

Added in API level 23
public CharSequence getAccessibilityClassName ()

Return the class name of this object to be used for accessibility purposes. Subclasses should only override this if they are implementing something that should be seen as a completely new class of view when used by accessibility, unrelated to the class it is deriving from. This is used to fill in AccessibilityNodeInfo.setClassName.

Returns
CharSequence

getAutofillType

Added in API level 26
public int getAutofillType ()

Describes the autofill type of this view, so an AutofillService can create the proper AutofillValue when autofilling the view.

By default returns AUTOFILL_TYPE_NONE, but views should override it to properly support the Autofill Framework.

Returns
int Value is View.AUTOFILL_TYPE_NONE, View.AUTOFILL_TYPE_TEXT, View.AUTOFILL_TYPE_TOGGLE, View.AUTOFILL_TYPE_LIST, or View.AUTOFILL_TYPE_DATE

getAutofillValue

Added in API level 26
public AutofillValue getAutofillValue ()

Gets the TextView's current text for AutoFill. The value is trimmed to 100K chars if longer.

Returns
AutofillValue current text, null if the text is not editable

getButtonDrawable

public boolean isChecked ()

Returns
boolean

jumpDrawablesToCurrentState

Added in API level 11
public void jumpDrawablesToCurrentState ()

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

Also calls StateListAnimator#jumpToCurrentState() if there is a StateListAnimator attached to this view.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onRestoreInstanceState

Added in API level 1
public void onRestoreInstanceState (Parcelable state)

Hook allowing a view to re-apply a representation of its internal state that had previously been generated by onSaveInstanceState(). This function will never be called with a null state.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
state Parcelable: The frozen state that had previously been returned by onSaveInstanceState().

onSaveInstanceState

Added in API level 1
public Parcelable onSaveInstanceState ()

Hook allowing a view to generate a representation of its internal state that can later be used to create a new instance with that same state. This state should only contain information that is not persistent or can not be reconstructed later. For example, you will never store your current position on screen because that will be computed again when a new instance of the view is placed in its view hierarchy.

Some examples of things you may store here: the current cursor position in a text view (but usually not the text itself since that is stored in a content provider or other persistent storage), the currently selected item in a list view.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Returns
Parcelable Returns a Parcelable object containing the view's current dynamic state, or null if there is nothing interesting to save.

performClick

Added in API level 1
public boolean performClick ()

Call this view's OnClickListener, if it is defined. Performs all normal actions associated with clicking: reporting accessibility event, playing a sound, etc.

setChecked

Added in API level 1
public void setChecked (boolean checked)

Changes the checked state of this button.

Parameters
checked boolean: true to check the button, false to uncheck it

setOnCheckedChangeListener

Added in API level 1
public void setOnCheckedChangeListener (CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener listener)

Parameters
listener CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener: the callback to call on checked state change This value may be null.

setStateDescription

Added in API level 30
public void setStateDescription (CharSequence stateDescription)

This function is called when an instance or subclass sets the state description. Once this is called and the argument is not null, the app developer will be responsible for updating state description when checked state changes and we will not set state description in setChecked(boolean). App developers can restore the default behavior by setting the argument to null. If setChecked(boolean) is called first and then setStateDescription is called, two state change events will be merged by event throttling and we can still get the correct state description.

Parameters
stateDescription CharSequence: The state description. This value may be null.

toggle

Added in API level 1
public void toggle ()

Change the checked state of the view to the inverse of its current state

Protected methods

drawableStateChanged

Added in API level 1
protected void drawableStateChanged ()

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

If the View has a StateListAnimator, it will also be called to run necessary state change animations.

Be sure to call through to the superclass when overriding this function.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onCreateDrawableState

Added in API level 1
protected int[] onCreateDrawableState (int extraSpace)

Generate the new Drawable state for this view. This is called by the view system when the cached Drawable state is determined to be invalid. To retrieve the current state, you should use getDrawableState().

Parameters
extraSpace int: 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
int[] Returns an array holding the current Drawable state of the view.

onDraw

Implement this to do your drawing.

Parameters
canvas Canvas: the canvas on which the background will be drawn This value cannot be null.

verifyDrawable

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.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
who Drawable: This value cannot be null.

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