ScaleGestureDetector

Kotlin |Java

public class ScaleGestureDetector
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.view.ScaleGestureDetector

Detects scaling transformation gestures using the supplied MotionEvents. The OnScaleGestureListener callback will notify users when a particular gesture event has occurred. This class should only be used with MotionEvents reported via touch. To use this class:

Create an instance of the ScaleGestureDetector for your View
In the View#onTouchEvent(MotionEvent) method ensure you call onTouchEvent(android.view.MotionEvent). The methods defined in your callback will be executed when the events occur.

`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

Public constructors

ScaleGestureDetector

Added in API level 8

public ScaleGestureDetector (Context context, 
                ScaleGestureDetector.OnScaleGestureListener listener)

Creates a ScaleGestureDetector with the supplied listener. You may only use this constructor from a Looper thread.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: the application's context This value cannot be `null`.
`listener`	`ScaleGestureDetector.OnScaleGestureListener`: the listener invoked for all the callbacks, this must not be null.

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if `listener` is null.

ScaleGestureDetector

Added in API level 19

public ScaleGestureDetector (Context context, 
                ScaleGestureDetector.OnScaleGestureListener listener, 
                Handler handler)

Creates a ScaleGestureDetector with the supplied listener.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: the application's context This value cannot be `null`.
`listener`	`ScaleGestureDetector.OnScaleGestureListener`: the listener invoked for all the callbacks, this must not be null.
`handler`	`Handler`: the handler to use for running deferred listener events. This value may be `null`.

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if `listener` is null.

Public methods

getCurrentSpan

Added in API level 8

public float getCurrentSpan ()

Return the average distance between each of the pointers forming the gesture in progress through the focal point.

Returns
`float`	Distance between pointers in pixels.

getCurrentSpanX

Added in API level 11

public float getCurrentSpanX ()

Return the average X distance between each of the pointers forming the gesture in progress through the focal point.

Returns
`float`	Distance between pointers in pixels.

getCurrentSpanY

Added in API level 11

public float getCurrentSpanY ()

Return the average Y distance between each of the pointers forming the gesture in progress through the focal point.

Returns
`float`	Distance between pointers in pixels.

getEventTime

Returns
`float`	Previous distance between pointers in pixels.

getPreviousSpanY

public float getPreviousSpanY ()

Return the previous average Y distance between each of the pointers forming the gesture in progress through the focal point.

Returns
`float`	Previous distance between pointers in pixels.

getScaleFactor

Returns true if a scale gesture is in progress.

Returns
`boolean`

isQuickScaleEnabled

Added in API level 19

public boolean isQuickScaleEnabled ()

Return whether the quick scale gesture, in which the user performs a double tap followed by a swipe, should perform scaling. .

Returns
`boolean`

See also:

setQuickScaleEnabled(boolean)

isStylusScaleEnabled

Added in API level 23

public boolean isStylusScaleEnabled ()

Return whether the stylus scale gesture, in which the user uses a stylus and presses the button, should perform scaling.

Returns
`boolean`

See also:

setStylusScaleEnabled(boolean)

onTouchEvent

Added in API level 8

public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent event)

Accepts MotionEvents and dispatches events to a OnScaleGestureListener when appropriate.

Applications should pass a complete and consistent event stream to this method. A complete and consistent event stream involves all MotionEvents from the initial ACTION_DOWN to the final ACTION_UP or ACTION_CANCEL.

Parameters
`event`	`MotionEvent`: The event to process This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the event was processed and the detector wants to receive the rest of the MotionEvents in this event stream.

setQuickScaleEnabled

Added in API level 19

public void setQuickScaleEnabled (boolean scales)

Set whether the associated OnScaleGestureListener should receive onScale callbacks when the user performs a doubleTap followed by a swipe. Note that this is enabled by default if the app targets API 19 and newer.

Parameters
`scales`	`boolean`: true to enable quick scaling, false to disable

setStylusScaleEnabled

Added in API level 23

public void setStylusScaleEnabled (boolean scales)

Sets whether the associates OnScaleGestureListener should receive onScale callbacks when the user uses a stylus and presses the button. Note that this is enabled by default if the app targets API 23 and newer.
