Rect

Kotlin |Java

public final class Rect
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
↳	android.graphics.Rect

Rect holds four integer coordinates for a rectangle. The rectangle is represented by the coordinates of its 4 edges (left, top, right bottom). These fields can be accessed directly. Use width() and height() to retrieve the rectangle's width and height. Note: most methods do not check to see that the coordinates are sorted correctly (i.e. left <= right and top <= bottom).

Note that the right and bottom coordinates are exclusive. This means a Rect being drawn untransformed onto a Canvas will draw into the column and row described by its left and top coordinates, but not those of its bottom and right.

                int right, 
                int bottom)

Returns true iff the 4 specified sides of a rectangle are inside or equal to this rectangle. i.e. is this rectangle a superset of the specified rectangle. An empty rectangle never contains another rectangle.

Parameters

`top`	`int`: The top of the rectangle being tested for containment
`right`	`int`: The right side of the rectangle being tested for containment
`bottom`	`int`: The bottom of the rectangle being tested for containment

Returns
`boolean`	true iff the 4 specified sides of a rectangle are inside or equal to this rectangle

Added in API level 1

public boolean contains (Rect r)

Returns true iff the specified rectangle r is inside or equal to this rectangle. An empty rectangle never contains another rectangle.

Parameters
`r`	`Rect`: The rectangle being tested for containment. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	true iff the specified rectangle r is inside or equal to this rectangle

contains

Added in API level 1

public boolean contains (int x, 
                int y)

Returns true if (x,y) is inside the rectangle. The left and top are considered to be inside, while the right and bottom are not. This means that for a x,y to be contained: left <= x < right and top <= y < bottom. An empty rectangle never contains any point.

Parameters
`x`	`int`: The X coordinate of the point being tested for containment
`y`	`int`: The Y coordinate of the point being tested for containment

Returns
`boolean`	true iff (x,y) are contained by the rectangle, where containment means left <= x < right and top <= y < bottom

describeContents

Added in API level 1

public int describeContents ()

Parcelable interface methods

Returns
`int`	a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either `0` or `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

equals

Added in API level 1

public boolean equals (Object o)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
`o`	`Object`: the reference object with which to compare.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.

exactCenterX

Added in API level 1

public float exactCenterX ()

Returns
`float`	the exact horizontal center of the rectangle as a float.

exactCenterY

Added in API level 1

public float exactCenterY ()

Returns
`float`	the exact vertical center of the rectangle as a float.

flattenToString

Added in API level 7

public String flattenToString ()

Return a string representation of the rectangle in a well-defined format.

You can later recover the Rect from this string through unflattenFromString(java.lang.String).

Returns
`String`	Returns a new String of the form "left top right bottom" This value cannot be `null`.

hashCode

Added in API level 1

public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

Returns
`int`	a hash code value for this object.

height

Added in API level 1

public int height ()

Returns
`int`	the rectangle's height. This does not check for a valid rectangle (i.e. top <= bottom) so the result may be negative.

`left`	`int`: The amount to add from the rectangle's left
