Drawable

public abstract class Drawable
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.graphics.drawable.Drawable


A Drawable is a general abstraction for "something that can be drawn." Most often you will deal with Drawable as the type of resource retrieved for drawing things to the screen; the Drawable class provides a generic API for dealing with an underlying visual resource that may take a variety of forms. Unlike a View, a Drawable does not have any facility to receive events or otherwise interact with the user.

In addition to simple drawing, Drawable provides a number of generic mechanisms for its client to interact with what is being drawn:

  • The setBounds(Rect) method must be called to tell the Drawable where it is drawn and how large it should be. All Drawables should respect the requested size, often simply by scaling their imagery. A client can find the preferred size for some Drawables with the getIntrinsicHeight() and getIntrinsicWidth() methods.
  • The getPadding(Rect) method can return from some Drawables information about how to frame content that is placed inside of them. For example, a Drawable that is intended to be the frame for a button widget would need to return padding that correctly places the label inside of itself.
  • The setState(int) method allows the client to tell the Drawable in which state it is to be drawn, such as "focused", "selected", etc. Some drawables may modify their imagery based on the selected state.
  • The setLevel(int) method allows the client to supply a single continuous controller that can modify the Drawable is displayed, such as a battery level or progress level. Some drawables may modify their imagery based on the current level.
  • A Drawable can perform animations by calling back to its client through the Callback interface. All clients should support this interface (via setCallback(Callback)) so that animations will work. A simple way to do this is through the system facilities such as View.setBackground(Drawable) and ImageView.
Though usually not visible to the application, Drawables may take a variety of forms:
  • Bitmap: the simplest Drawable, a PNG or JPEG image.
  • Nine Patch: an extension to the PNG format allows it to specify information about how to stretch it and place things inside of it.
  • Vector: a drawable defined in an XML file as a set of points, lines, and curves along with its associated color information. This type of drawable can be scaled without loss of display quality.
  • Shape: contains simple drawing commands instead of a raw bitmap, allowing it to resize better in some cases.
  • Layers: a compound drawable, which draws multiple underlying drawables on top of each other.
  • States: a compound drawable that selects one of a set of drawables based on its state.
  • Levels: a compound drawable that selects one of a set of drawables based on its level.
  • Scale: a compound drawable with a single child drawable, whose overall size is modified based on the current level.

Custom drawables

All versions of Android allow the Drawable class to be extended and used at run time in place of framework-provided drawable classes. Starting in API 24, custom drawables classes may also be used in XML.

Note: Custom drawable classes are only accessible from within your application package. Other applications will not be able to load them.

At a minimum, custom drawable classes must implement the abstract methods on Drawable and should override the Drawable#draw(Canvas) method to draw content.

Custom drawables classes may be used in XML in multiple ways:

  • Using the fully-qualified class name as the XML element name. For this method, the custom drawable class must be a public top-level class.
     <com.myapp.MyCustomDrawable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         android:color="#ffff0000" />
     
  • Using drawable as the XML element name and specifying the fully-qualified class name from the class attribute. This method may be used for both public top-level classes and public static inner classes.
     <drawable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         class="com.myapp.MyTopLevelClass$InnerCustomDrawable"
         android:color="#ffff0000" />

getAlpha

Added in API level 19
public int getAlpha ()

Gets the current alpha value for the drawable. 0 means fully transparent, 255 means fully opaque.

getDirtyBounds

Added in API level 21
public Rect getDirtyBounds ()

Return the drawable's dirty bounds Rect. Note: for efficiency, the returned object may be the same object stored in the drawable (though this is not guaranteed).

getIntrinsicWidth

Added in API level 1
public int getIntrinsicWidth ()

Returns the drawable's intrinsic width.

Intrinsic width is the width at which the drawable would like to be laid out, including any inherent padding. If the drawable has no intrinsic width, such as a solid color, this method returns -1.

getMinimumHeight

Added in API level 1
public int getMinimumHeight ()

Returns the minimum height suggested by this Drawable. If a View uses this Drawable as a background, it is suggested that the View use at least this value for its height. (There will be some scenarios where this will not be possible.) This value should INCLUDE any padding.

Returns
int The minimum height suggested by this Drawable. If this Drawable doesn't have a suggested minimum height, 0 is returned.

getMinimumWidth

Added in API level 1
public int getMinimumWidth ()

Returns the minimum width suggested by this Drawable. If a View uses this Drawable as a background, it is suggested that the View use at least this value for its width. (There will be some scenarios where this will not be possible.) This value should INCLUDE any padding.

Returns
int The minimum width suggested by this Drawable. If this Drawable doesn't have a suggested minimum width, 0 is returned.

getOpacity

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 29
public abstract int getOpacity ()

This method was deprecated in API level 29.
This method is no longer used in graphics optimizations

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

An OPAQUE drawable is one that draws all all content within its bounds, completely covering anything behind the drawable. A TRANSPARENT drawable is one that draws nothing within its bounds, allowing everything behind it to show through. A TRANSLUCENT drawable is a drawable in any other state, where the drawable will draw some, but not all, of the content within its bounds and at least some content behind the drawable will be visible. If the visibility of the drawable's contents cannot be determined, the safest/best return value is TRANSLUCENT.

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 necessarily take into account a custom alpha or color filter that has been applied by the client through the setAlpha(int) or setColorFilter(ColorFilter) methods. Some subclasses, such as BitmapDrawable, ColorDrawable, and GradientDrawable, do account for the value of setAlpha(int), but the general behavior is dependent upon the implementation of the subclass.

Returns
int int The opacity class of the Drawable. Value is PixelFormat.UNKNOWN, PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT, PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, or PixelFormat.OPAQUE

See also:

getOpticalInsets

Added in API level 29

Returns
Insets This value cannot be null.

getOutline

Added in API level 21
public void getOutline (Outline outline)

Called to get the drawable to populate the Outline that defines its drawing area.

This method is called by the default ViewOutlineProvider to define the outline of the View.

The default behavior defines the outline to be the bounding rectangle of 0 alpha. Subclasses that wish to convey a different shape or alpha value must override this method.

Parameters
outline Outline: This value cannot be null.

getPadding

Added in API level 1
public boolean getPadding (Rect padding)

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).

int[] An array of resource Ids describing the current state. This value cannot be null.

getTransparentRegion

Added in API level 1
public Region getTransparentRegion ()

Returns a Region representing the part of the Drawable that is completely transparent. This can be used to perform drawing operations, identifying which parts of the target will not change when rendering the Drawable. The default implementation returns null, indicating no transparent region; subclasses can optionally override this to return an actual Region if they want to supply this optimization information, but it is not required that they do so.

Returns
Region Returns null if the Drawables has no transparent region to report, else a Region holding the parts of the Drawable's bounds that are transparent.

hasFocusStateSpecified

Added in API level 31
public boolean hasFocusStateSpecified ()

Indicates whether this drawable has at least one state spec explicitly specifying R.attr.state_focused.

Note: A View uses a Drawable instance as its background and it changes its appearance based on a state. On keyboard devices, it should specify its R.attr.state_focused to make sure the user knows which view is holding the focus.

Returns
boolean true if R.attr.state_focused is specified for this drawable.

inflate

Added in API level 21
public void inflate (Resources r, 
                XmlPullParser parser, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                Resources.Theme theme)

See also:

isVisible

Added in API level 1
public final boolean isVisible ()

Returns
boolean

jumpToCurrentState

Added in API level 11
public void jumpToCurrentState ()

If this Drawable does transition animations between states, ask that it immediately jump to the current state and skip any active animations.

mutate

Added in API level 3
public Drawable mutate ()

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
Drawable This drawable. This value cannot be null.

onLayoutDirectionChanged

Added in API level 23
public boolean onLayoutDirectionChanged (int layoutDirection)

Called when the drawable's resolved layout direction changes.

Parameters
layoutDirection int: the new resolved layout direction Value is View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR, or View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL

setColorFilter

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 29
public void setColorFilter (int color, 
                PorterDuff.Mode mode)

This method was deprecated in API level 29.
use setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter) with an instance of BlendModeColorFilter

Specify a color and Porter-Duff mode to be the color filter for this drawable.

Convenience for setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter) which constructs a PorterDuffColorFilter.

Note: Setting a color filter disables tint.

Parameters
color int

mode PorterDuff.Mode: This value cannot be null.

setColorFilter

Added in API level 1
public abstract void setColorFilter (ColorFilter colorFilter)

Specify an optional color filter for the drawable.

If a Drawable has a ColorFilter, each output pixel of the Drawable's drawing contents will be modified by the color filter before it is blended onto the render target of a Canvas.

Pass null to remove any existing color filter.

Note: Setting a non-null color filter disables tint.

Parameters
colorFilter ColorFilter: The color filter to apply, or null to remove the existing color filter

setDither

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 23
public void setDither (boolean dither)

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
This property is ignored.

Set to true to have the drawable dither its colors when drawn to a device with fewer than 8-bits per color component.

Parameters
dither boolean

setFilterBitmap

Added in API level 1
public void setFilterBitmap (boolean filter)

Set to true to have the drawable filter its bitmaps with bilinear sampling when they are scaled or rotated.

This can improve appearance when bitmaps are rotated. If the drawable does not use bitmaps, this call is ignored.

Parameters
filter boolean

setHotspot

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

Specifies the hotspot's location within the drawable.

Parameters
x float: The X coordinate of the center of the hotspot

y float: The Y coordinate of the center of the hotspot

setHotspotBounds

Added in API level 21
public void setHotspotBounds (int left, 
                int top, 
                int right, 
                int bottom)

Sets the bounds to which the hotspot is constrained, if they should be different from the drawable bounds.

Parameters
left int: position in pixels of the left bound

top int: position in pixels of the top bound

right int: position in pixels of the right bound

bottom int: position in pixels of the bottom bound

setLayoutDirection

Added in API level 23
public final boolean setLayoutDirection (int layoutDirection)

Set the layout direction for this drawable. Should be a resolved layout direction, as the Drawable has no capacity to do the resolution on its own.

Parameters
layoutDirection int: the resolved layout direction for the drawable, either View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR or View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL Value is View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR, or View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL

Returns
boolean true if the layout direction change has caused the appearance of the drawable to change such that it needs to be re-drawn, false otherwise

setLevel

Added in API level 1
public final boolean setLevel (int level)

Specify the level for the drawable. This allows a drawable to vary its imagery based on a continuous controller, for example to show progress or volume level.

If the new level you are supplying causes the appearance of the Drawable to change, then it is responsible for calling invalidateSelf() in order to have itself redrawn, and true will be returned from this function.

Parameters
level int: The new level, from 0 (minimum) to 10000 (maximum). Value is between 0 and 10000 inclusive

Returns
boolean Returns true if this change in level has caused the appearance of the Drawable to change (hence requiring an invalidate), otherwise returns false.

setState

Added in API level 1
public boolean setState (int[] stateSet)

Specify a set of states for the drawable. These are use-case specific, so see the relevant documentation. As an example, the background for widgets like Button understand the following states: [R.attr.state_focused, R.attr.state_pressed].

If the new state you are supplying causes the appearance of the Drawable to change, then it is responsible for calling invalidateSelf() in order to have itself redrawn, and true will be returned from this function.

Note: The Drawable holds a reference on to stateSet until a new state array is given to it, so you must not modify this array during that time.

Parameters
stateSet int: The new set of states to be displayed. This value cannot be null.

Returns
boolean Returns true if this change in state has caused the appearance of the Drawable to change (hence requiring an invalidate), otherwise returns false.

setTint

Added in API level 21
public void setTint (int tintColor)

Specifies tint color for this drawable.

A Drawable's drawing content will be blended together with its tint before it is drawn to the screen. This functions similarly to setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode).

To clear the tint, pass null to setTintList(android.content.res.ColorStateList).

Note: Setting a color filter via setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter) or setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode) overrides tint.

Parameters
tintColor int: Color to use for tinting this drawable

setTintBlendMode

Added in API level 29
public void setTintBlendMode (BlendMode blendMode)

Specifies a tint blending mode for this drawable.

Defines how this drawable's tint color should be blended into the drawable before it is drawn to screen. Default tint mode is BlendMode#SRC_IN.

Note: Setting a color filter via setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter)

Parameters
blendMode BlendMode: BlendMode to apply to the drawable, a value of null sets the default blend mode value of BlendMode#SRC_IN

setTintList

Added in API level 21
public void setTintList (ColorStateList tint)

Specifies tint color for this drawable as a color state list.

A Drawable's drawing content will be blended together with its tint before it is drawn to the screen. This functions similarly to setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode).

Note: Setting a color filter via setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter) or setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode) overrides tint.

Parameters
tint ColorStateList: Color state list to use for tinting this drawable, or null to clear the tint

setTintMode

Added in API level 21
public void setTintMode (PorterDuff.Mode tintMode)

Specifies a tint blending mode for this drawable.

Defines how this drawable's tint color should be blended into the drawable before it is drawn to screen. Default tint mode is PorterDuff.Mode#SRC_IN.

Note: Setting a color filter via setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter) or setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode) overrides tint.

Parameters
tintMode PorterDuff.Mode: A Porter-Duff blending mode to apply to the drawable, a value of null sets the default Porter-Diff blending mode value of PorterDuff.Mode#SRC_IN

setVisible

Added in API level 1
public boolean setVisible (boolean visible, 
                boolean restart)

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 boolean: Set to true if visible, false if not.

restart boolean: 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 boolean Returns true if the new visibility is different than its previous state.

unscheduleSelf

Added in API level 1
public void unscheduleSelf (Runnable what)

Use the current Callback implementation to have this Drawable unscheduled. Does nothing if there is no Callback attached to the Drawable.

Parameters
what Runnable: The runnable that you no longer want called. This value cannot be null.

onStateChange

Added in API level 1
protected boolean onStateChange (int[] state)

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

Parameters
state int: This value cannot be null.

Returns
boolean 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.
