GuidedStepSupportFragment

public class GuidedStepSupportFragment
extends Fragment

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.v4.app.Fragment
     ↳ android.support.v17.leanback.app.GuidedStepSupportFragment


A GuidedStepSupportFragment is used to guide the user through a decision or series of decisions. It is composed of a guidance view on the left and a view on the right containing a list of possible actions.

Basic Usage

Clients of GuidedStepSupportFragment must create a custom subclass to attach to their Activities. This custom subclass provides the information necessary to construct the user interface and respond to user actions. At a minimum, subclasses should override:

Clients use following helper functions to add GuidedStepSupportFragment to Activity or FragmentManager:

Theming and Stylists

GuidedStepSupportFragment delegates its visual styling to classes called stylists. The GuidanceStylist is responsible for the left guidance view, while the GuidedActionsStylist is responsible for the right actions view. The stylists use theme attributes to derive values associated with the presentation, such as colors, animations, etc. Most simple visual aspects of GuidanceStylist and GuidedActionsStylist can be customized via theming; see their documentation for more information.

GuidedStepSupportFragments must have access to an appropriate theme in order for the stylists to function properly. Specifically, the fragment must receive Theme_Leanback_GuidedStep, or a theme whose parent is is set to that theme. Themes can be provided in one of three ways:

  • The simplest way is to set the theme for the host Activity to the GuidedStep theme or a theme that derives from it.
  • If the Activity already has a theme and setting its parent theme is inconvenient, the existing Activity theme can have an entry added for the attribute LeanbackGuidedStepTheme_guidedStepTheme. If present, this theme will be used by GuidedStepSupportFragment as an overlay to the Activity's theme.
  • Finally, custom subclasses of GuidedStepSupportFragment may provide a theme through the onProvideTheme() method. This can be useful if a subclass is used across multiple Activities.

If the theme is provided in multiple ways, the onProvideTheme override has priority, followed by the Activity's theme. (Themes whose parent theme is already set to the guided step theme do not need to set the guidedStepTheme attribute; if set, it will be ignored.)

If themes do not provide enough customizability, the stylists themselves may be subclassed and provided to the GuidedStepSupportFragment through the onCreateGuidanceStylist() and onCreateActionsStylist() methods. The stylists have simple hooks so that subclasses may override layout files; subclasses may also have more complex logic to determine styling.

Guided sequences

GuidedStepSupportFragments can be grouped together to provide a guided sequence. GuidedStepSupportFragments grouped as a sequence use custom animations provided by GuidanceStylist and GuidedActionsStylist (or subclasses) during transitions between steps. Clients should use add(FragmentManager, GuidedStepSupportFragment) to place subsequent GuidedFragments onto the fragment stack so that custom animations are properly configured. (Custom animations are triggered automatically when the fragment stack is subsequently popped by any normal mechanism.)

Note: Currently GuidedStepSupportFragments grouped in this way must all be defined programmatically, rather than in XML. This restriction may be removed in the future.

Constants

EXTRA_UI_STYLE

added in version 24.1.0
String EXTRA_UI_STYLE

Fragment argument name for UI style. The argument value is persisted in fragment state and used to select fragment transition. The value is initially UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE and might be changed in one of the three helper functions:

Argument value can be either:

Constant Value: "uiStyle"

UI_STYLE_ACTIVITY_ROOT

added in version 24.1.0
int UI_STYLE_ACTIVITY_ROOT

One possible value of argument EXTRA_UI_STYLE. This is the case that we show first GuidedStepSupportFragment in a separate activity. The default behavior of this style:

  • Enter transition is assigned null (will rely on activity transition), exit transition is same as UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE. Note: Changing exit transition by UI style is not working because fragment transition asks for exit transition before UI style is restored in Fragment.onCreate().

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

UI_STYLE_DEFAULT

added in version 24.1.0
int UI_STYLE_DEFAULT

This constant was deprecated in API level 24.1.0.
Same value as UI_STYLE_REPLACE.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE

added in version 24.1.0
int UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE

Default value for argument EXTRA_UI_STYLE. The default value is assigned in GuidedStepSupportFragment constructor. This is the case that we show GuidedStepSupportFragment on top of other content. The default behavior of this style:

  • Enter transition slides in from two sides, exit transition slide out to START(left). Background will be faded in. Note: Changing exit transition by UI style is not working because fragment transition asks for exit transition before UI style is restored in Fragment .onCreate().
When popping multiple GuidedStepSupportFragment, finishGuidedStepSupportFragments() also changes the top GuidedStepSupportFragment to UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE in order to run the return transition (reverse of enter transition) of UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

UI_STYLE_REPLACE

added in version 24.1.0
int UI_STYLE_REPLACE

This is the case that we use GuidedStepSupportFragment to replace another existing GuidedStepSupportFragment when moving forward to next step. Default behavior of this style is:

  • Enter transition slides in from END(right), exit transition same as UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

                int id)

Adds the specified GuidedStepSupportFragment to the fragment stack, replacing any existing GuidedStepSupportFragments in the stack, and configuring the fragment-to-fragment custom transitions. A backstack entry is added, so the fragment will be dismissed when BACK key is pressed.

  • If current fragment on stack is GuidedStepSupportFragment: assign UI_STYLE_REPLACE and onAddSharedElementTransition(FragmentTransaction, GuidedStepSupportFragment) will be called to perform shared element transition between GuidedStepSupportFragments.
  • If current fragment on stack is not GuidedStepSupportFragment: assign UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE

    Note: currently fragments added using this method must be created programmatically rather than via XML.

    Parameters
    fragmentManager FragmentManager: The FragmentManager to be used in the transaction.

    added in version 24.1.0
    int add (FragmentManager fragmentManager, 
                    GuidedStepSupportFragment fragment)

    Adds the specified GuidedStepSupportFragment to the fragment stack, replacing any existing GuidedStepSupportFragments in the stack, and configuring the fragment-to-fragment custom transitions. A backstack entry is added, so the fragment will be dismissed when BACK key is pressed.

  • If current fragment on stack is GuidedStepSupportFragment: assign UI_STYLE_REPLACE
  • If current fragment on stack is not GuidedStepSupportFragment: assign UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE

    Note: currently fragments added using this method must be created programmatically rather than via XML.

                    int id)

    Adds the specified GuidedStepSupportFragment as content of Activity; no backstack entry is added so the activity will be dismissed when BACK key is pressed. The method is typically called in Activity.onCreate() when savedInstanceState is null. When savedInstanceState is not null, the Activity is being restored, do not call addAsRoot() to duplicate the Fragment restored by FragmentManager. UI_STYLE_ACTIVITY_ROOT is assigned. Note: currently fragments added using this method must be created programmatically rather than via XML.

    Parameters
    activity FragmentActivity: The Activity to be used to insert GuidedstepFragment.

    Returns
    View Return the View for the fragment's UI, or null.

    onDestroyView

    added in version 24.1.0
    void onDestroyView ()

    Called when the view previously created by onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) has been detached from the fragment. The next time the fragment needs to be displayed, a new view will be created. This is called after onStop() and before onDestroy(). It is called regardless of whether onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) returned a non-null view. Internally it is called after the view's state has been saved but before it has been removed from its parent.

    onGuidedActionClicked

    added in version 24.1.0
    void onGuidedActionClicked (GuidedAction action)

    Callback invoked when an action is taken by the user. Subclasses should override in order to act on the user's decisions.

    Parameters
    action GuidedAction: The chosen action.

    onGuidedActionEditCanceled

    added in version 24.1.0
    void onGuidedActionEditCanceled (GuidedAction action)

    Callback invoked when an action has been canceled editing, for example when user closes IME window by BACK key. Default implementation calls deprecated method onGuidedActionEdited(GuidedAction).

    Parameters
    action GuidedAction: The action which has been canceled editing.

    onGuidedActionEdited

    added in version 24.1.0
    void onGuidedActionEdited (GuidedAction action)

    This method was deprecated in API level 24.1.0.
    Override onGuidedActionEditedAndProceed(GuidedAction) and/or onGuidedActionEditCanceled(GuidedAction).

    Callback invoked when an action's title or description has been edited, this happens either when user clicks confirm button in IME or user closes IME window by BACK key.

    Parameters
    action GuidedAction

    onGuidedActionEditedAndProceed

    added in version 24.1.0
    long onGuidedActionEditedAndProceed (GuidedAction action)

    Callback invoked when an action has been edited, for example when user clicks confirm button in IME window. Default implementation calls deprecated method onGuidedActionEdited(GuidedAction) and returns ACTION_ID_NEXT.

    Parameters
    action GuidedAction: The action that has been edited.

    Returns
    long ID of the action will be focused or ACTION_ID_NEXT, ACTION_ID_CURRENT.

    onGuidedActionFocused

    added in version 24.1.0
    void onGuidedActionFocused (GuidedAction action)

    Callback invoked when an action is focused (made to be the current selection) by the user.

    Parameters
    action GuidedAction

    onProvideTheme

    added in version 24.1.0
    int onProvideTheme ()

    Returns the theme used for styling the fragment. The default returns -1, indicating that the host Activity's theme should be used.

    Returns
    int The theme resource ID of the theme to use in this fragment, or -1 to use the host Activity's theme.

    onResume

    added in version 24.1.0
    void onResume ()

    Called when the fragment is visible to the user and actively running. This is generally tied to Activity.onResume of the containing Activity's lifecycle.

    onSaveInstanceState

    added in version 24.1.0
    void onSaveInstanceState (Bundle outState)

    Called to ask the fragment to save its current dynamic state, so it can later be reconstructed in a new instance of its process is restarted. If a new instance of the fragment later needs to be created, the data you place in the Bundle here will be available in the Bundle given to onCreate(Bundle), onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle), and onActivityCreated(Bundle).

    This corresponds to Activity.onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) and most of the discussion there applies here as well. Note however: this method may be called at any time before onDestroy(). There are many situations where a fragment may be mostly torn down (such as when placed on the back stack with no UI showing), but its state will not be saved until its owning activity actually needs to save its state.

    Parameters
    outState Bundle: Bundle in which to place your saved state.

    onSubGuidedActionClicked

    added in version 24.1.0
    boolean onSubGuidedActionClicked (GuidedAction action)

    Callback invoked when an action in sub actions is taken by the user. Subclasses should override in order to act on the user's decisions. Default return value is true to close the sub actions list.

    Parameters
    action GuidedAction: The chosen action.

    Returns
    boolean true to collapse the sub actions list, false to keep it expanded.

    openInEditMode

    added in version 26.1.0
    void openInEditMode (GuidedAction action)

    Opens the provided action in edit mode and raises ime. This can be used to programmatically skip the extra click required to go into edit mode. This method can be invoked in onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle).

    Parameters
    action GuidedAction

    popBackStackToGuidedStepSupportFragment

    added in version 24.1.0
    void popBackStackToGuidedStepSupportFragment (Class guidedStepFragmentClass, 
                    int flags)

    Convenient method to pop to fragment with Given class.

    Parameters
    guidedStepFragmentClass Class: Name of the Class of GuidedStepSupportFragment to pop to.

    flags int: Either 0 or POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE.

    setActions

    added in version 24.1.0
    void setActions (List<GuidedAction> actions)

    Sets the list of GuidedActions that the user may take in this fragment. Uses DiffCallback set by setActionsDiffCallback(DiffCallback).

    Parameters
    actions List: The list of GuidedActions for this fragment.

    setActionsDiffCallback

    added in version 27.1.0
    void setActionsDiffCallback (DiffCallback<GuidedAction> diffCallback)

    Sets the RecyclerView DiffCallback used when setActions(List) is called. By default GuidedStepSupportFragment uses GuidedActionDiffCallback. Sets it to null if app wants to refresh the whole list.

    Parameters
    diffCallback DiffCallback: DiffCallback used in setActions(List).

    setButtonActions

    added in version 24.1.0
    void setButtonActions (List<GuidedAction> actions)

    Sets the list of button GuidedActions that the user may take in this fragment.

    Parameters
    actions List: The list of button GuidedActions for this fragment.

    setSelectedActionPosition

    added in version 24.1.0
    void setSelectedActionPosition (int position)

    Scrolls the action list to the position indicated, selecting that action's view.

    Parameters
    position int: The integer position of the action of interest.

    setSelectedButtonActionPosition

    added in version 24.1.0
    void setSelectedButtonActionPosition (int position)

    Scrolls the action list to the position indicated, selecting that button action's view.

    Parameters
    position int: The integer position of the button action of interest.

    setUiStyle

    added in version 24.1.0
    void setUiStyle (int style)

    Set UI style to fragment arguments. Default value is UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE when fragment is first initialized. UI style is used to choose different fragment transition animations and determine if this is the first GuidedStepSupportFragment on backstack. In most cases app does not directly call this method, app calls helper function add(FragmentManager, GuidedStepSupportFragment, int). However if the app creates Fragment transaction and controls backstack by itself, it would need call setUiStyle() to select the fragment transition to use.

    Parameters
    style int: UI_STYLE_ACTIVITY_ROOT UI_STYLE_REPLACE or UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE.

    Protected methods

    onAddSharedElementTransition

    added in version 24.1.0
    void onAddSharedElementTransition (FragmentTransaction ft, 
                    GuidedStepSupportFragment disappearing)

    Called when this fragment is added to FragmentTransaction with UI_STYLE_REPLACE (aka when the GuidedStepSupportFragment replacing an existing GuidedStepSupportFragment). Default implementation establishes connections between action background views to morph action background bounds change from disappearing GuidedStepSupportFragment into this GuidedStepSupportFragment. The default implementation heavily relies on GuidedActionsStylist's layout, app may override this method when modifying the default layout of GuidedActionsStylist.

    Parameters
    ft FragmentTransaction: The FragmentTransaction to add shared element.

    disappearing GuidedStepSupportFragment: The disappearing fragment.

    onProvideFragmentTransitions

    added in version 24.1.0
    void onProvideFragmentTransitions ()

    Called by Constructor to provide fragment transitions. The default implementation assigns transitions based on getUiStyle():

    • UI_STYLE_REPLACE Slide from/to end(right) for enter transition, slide from/to start(left) for exit transition, shared element enter transition is set to ChangeBounds.
    • UI_STYLE_ENTRANCE Enter transition is set to slide from both sides, exit transition is same as UI_STYLE_REPLACE, no shared element enter transition.
    • UI_STYLE_ACTIVITY_ROOT Enter transition is set to null and app should rely on activity transition, exit transition is same as UI_STYLE_REPLACE, no shared element enter transition.

    The default implementation heavily relies on GuidedActionsStylist and GuidanceStylist layout, app may override this method when modifying the default layout of GuidedActionsStylist or GuidanceStylist.

    TIP: because the fragment view is removed during fragment transition, in general app cannot use two Visibility transition together. Workaround is to create your own Visibility transition that controls multiple animators (e.g. slide and fade animation in one Transition class).
