View

public class View
extends Object implements AccessibilityEventSource, Drawable.Callback, KeyEvent.Callback

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.View

This class represents the basic building block for user interface components. A View occupies a rectangular area on the screen and is responsible for drawing and event handling. View is the base class for widgets, which are used to create interactive UI components (buttons, text fields, etc.). The ViewGroup subclass is the base class for layouts, which are invisible containers that hold other Views (or other ViewGroups) and define their layout properties.

Developer Guides

For information about using this class to develop your application's user interface, read the User Interface developer guide.

Using Views

All of the views in a window are arranged in a single tree. You can add views either from code or by specifying a tree of views in one or more XML layout files. There are many specialized subclasses of views that act as controls or are capable of displaying text, images, or other content.

Once you have created a tree of views, there are typically a few types of common operations you may wish to perform:

  • Set properties: for example setting the text of a TextView. The available properties and the methods that set them will vary among the different subclasses of views. Note that properties that are known at build time can be set in the XML layout files.
  • Set focus: The framework will handle moving focus in response to user input. To force focus to a specific view, call requestFocus().
  • Set up listeners: Views allow clients to set listeners that will be notified when something interesting happens to the view. For example, all views will let you set a listener to be notified when the view gains or loses focus. You can register such a listener using setOnFocusChangeListener(android.view.View.OnFocusChangeListener). Other view subclasses offer more specialized listeners. For example, a Button exposes a listener to notify clients when the button is clicked.
  • Set visibility: You can hide or show views using setVisibility(int).

Note: The Android framework is responsible for measuring, laying out and drawing views. You should not call methods that perform these actions on views yourself unless you are actually implementing a ViewGroup.

Implementing a Custom View

To implement a custom view, you will usually begin by providing overrides for some of the standard methods that the framework calls on all views. You do not need to override all of these methods. In fact, you can start by just overriding onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas).

Category Methods Description
Creation Constructors There is a form of the constructor that are called when the view is created from code and a form that is called when the view is inflated from a layout file. The second form should parse and apply any attributes defined in the layout file.
onFinishInflate() Called after a view and all of its children has been inflated from XML.
Layout onMeasure(int, int) Called to determine the size requirements for this view and all of its children.
onLayout(boolean, int, int, int, int) Called when this view should assign a size and position to all of its children.
onSizeChanged(int, int, int, int) Called when the size of this view has changed.
Drawing onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas) Called when the view should render its content.
Event processing onKeyDown(int, android.view.KeyEvent) Called when a new hardware key event occurs.
onKeyUp(int, android.view.KeyEvent) Called when a hardware key up event occurs.
onTrackballEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) Called when a trackball motion event occurs.
onTouchEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) Called when a motion event occurs with pointers down on the view.
onGenericMotionEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) Called when a generic motion event occurs.
onHoverEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) Called when a hover motion event occurs.
Focus onFocusChanged(boolean, int, android.graphics.Rect) Called when the view gains or loses focus.
onWindowFocusChanged(boolean) Called when the window containing the view gains or loses focus.
Attaching onAttachedToWindow() Called when the view is attached to a window.
onDetachedFromWindow() Called when the view is detached from its window.
onWindowVisibilityChanged(int) Called when the visibility of the window containing the view has changed.

IDs

Views may have an integer id associated with them. These ids are typically assigned in the layout XML files, and are used to find specific views within the view tree. A common pattern is to:
  • Define a Button in the layout file and assign it a unique ID. 
     <Button
     android:id="@+id/my_button"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:text="@string/my_button_text"/>
  • From the onCreate method of an Activity, find the Button 
          Button myButton = findViewById(R.id.my_button);

View IDs need not be unique throughout the tree, but it is good practice to ensure that they are at least unique within the part of the tree you are searching.

Position

The geometry of a view is that of a rectangle. A view has a location, expressed as a pair of left and top coordinates, and two dimensions, expressed as a width and a height. The unit for location and dimensions is the pixel.

It is possible to retrieve the location of a view by invoking the methods getLeft() and getTop(). The former returns the left, or X, coordinate of the rectangle representing the view. The latter returns the top, or Y, coordinate of the rectangle representing the view. These methods both return the location of the view relative to its parent. For instance, when getLeft() returns 20, that means the view is located 20 pixels to the right of the left edge of its direct parent.

In addition, several convenience methods are offered to avoid unnecessary computations, namely getRight() and getBottom(). These methods return the coordinates of the right and bottom edges of the rectangle representing the view. For instance, calling getRight() is similar to the following computation: getLeft() + getWidth() (see Size for more information about the width.)

Size, padding and margins

The size of a view is expressed with a width and a height. A view actually possess two pairs of width and height values.

The first pair is known as measured width and measured height. These dimensions define how big a view wants to be within its parent (see Layout for more details.) The measured dimensions can be obtained by calling getMeasuredWidth() and getMeasuredHeight().

The second pair is simply known as width and height, or sometimes drawing width and drawing height. These dimensions define the actual size of the view on screen, at drawing time and after layout. These values may, but do not have to, be different from the measured width and height. The width and height can be obtained by calling getWidth() and getHeight().

To measure its dimensions, a view takes into account its padding. The padding is expressed in pixels for the left, top, right and bottom parts of the view. Padding can be used to offset the content of the view by a specific amount of pixels. For instance, a left padding of 2 will push the view's content by 2 pixels to the right of the left edge. Padding can be set using the setPadding(int, int, int, int) or setPaddingRelative(int, int, int, int) method and queried by calling getPaddingLeft(), getPaddingTop(), getPaddingRight(), getPaddingBottom(), getPaddingStart(), getPaddingEnd().

Even though a view can define a padding, it does not provide any support for margins. However, view groups provide such a support. Refer to ViewGroup and ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams for further information.

Layout

Layout is a two pass process: a measure pass and a layout pass. The measuring pass is implemented in measure(int, int) and is a top-down traversal of the view tree. Each view pushes dimension specifications down the tree during the recursion. At the end of the measure pass, every view has stored its measurements. The second pass happens in layout(int, int, int, int) and is also top-down. During this pass each parent is responsible for positioning all of its children using the sizes computed in the measure pass.

When a view's measure() method returns, its getMeasuredWidth() and getMeasuredHeight() values must be set, along with those for all of that view's descendants. A view's measured width and measured height values must respect the constraints imposed by the view's parents. This guarantees that at the end of the measure pass, all parents accept all of their children's measurements. A parent view may call measure() more than once on its children. For example, the parent may measure each child once with unspecified dimensions to find out how big they want to be, then call measure() on them again with actual numbers if the sum of all the children's unconstrained sizes is too big or too small.

The measure pass uses two classes to communicate dimensions. The MeasureSpec class is used by views to tell their parents how they want to be measured and positioned. The base LayoutParams class just describes how big the view wants to be for both width and height. For each dimension, it can specify one of:

  • an exact number
  • MATCH_PARENT, which means the view wants to be as big as its parent (minus padding)
  • WRAP_CONTENT, which means that the view wants to be just big enough to enclose its content (plus padding).
There are subclasses of LayoutParams for different subclasses of ViewGroup. For example, AbsoluteLayout has its own subclass of LayoutParams which adds an X and Y value.

MeasureSpecs are used to push requirements down the tree from parent to child. A MeasureSpec can be in one of three modes:

  • UNSPECIFIED: This is used by a parent to determine the desired dimension of a child view. For example, a LinearLayout may call measure() on its child with the height set to UNSPECIFIED and a width of EXACTLY 240 to find out how tall the child view wants to be given a width of 240 pixels.
  • EXACTLY: This is used by the parent to impose an exact size on the child. The child must use this size, and guarantee that all of its descendants will fit within this size.
  • AT_MOST: This is used by the parent to impose a maximum size on the child. The child must guarantee that it and all of its descendants will fit within this size.

To initiate a layout, call requestLayout(). This method is typically called by a view on itself when it believes that it can no longer fit within its current bounds.

Drawing

Drawing is handled by walking the tree and recording the drawing commands of any View that needs to update. After this, the drawing commands of the entire tree are issued to screen, clipped to the newly damaged area.

The tree is largely recorded and drawn in order, with parents drawn before (i.e., behind) their children, with siblings drawn in the order they appear in the tree. If you set a background drawable for a View, then the View will draw it before calling back to its onDraw() method. The child drawing order can be overridden with custom child drawing order in a ViewGroup, and with setZ(float) custom Z values} set on Views.

To force a view to draw, call invalidate().

Event Handling and Threading

The basic cycle of a view is as follows:

  1. An event comes in and is dispatched to the appropriate view. The view handles the event and notifies any listeners.
  2. If in the course of processing the event, the view's bounds may need to be changed, the view will call requestLayout().
  3. Similarly, if in the course of processing the event the view's appearance may need to be changed, the view will call invalidate().
  4. If either requestLayout() or invalidate() were called, the framework will take care of measuring, laying out, and drawing the tree as appropriate.

Note: The entire view tree is single threaded. You must always be on the UI thread when calling any method on any view. If you are doing work on other threads and want to update the state of a view from that thread, you should use a Handler.

Focus Handling

The framework will handle routine focus movement in response to user input. This includes changing the focus as views are removed or hidden, or as new views become available. Views indicate their willingness to take focus through the isFocusable() method. To change whether a view can take focus, call setFocusable(boolean). When in touch mode (see notes below) views indicate whether they still would like focus via isFocusableInTouchMode() and can change this via setFocusableInTouchMode(boolean).

Focus movement is based on an algorithm which finds the nearest neighbor in a given direction. In rare cases, the default algorithm may not match the intended behavior of the developer. In these situations, you can provide explicit overrides by using these XML attributes in the layout file: 

 nextFocusDown
 nextFocusLeft
 nextFocusRight
 nextFocusUp

To get a particular view to take focus, call requestFocus().

Touch Mode

When a user is navigating a user interface via directional keys such as a D-pad, it is necessary to give focus to actionable items such as buttons so the user can see what will take input. If the device has touch capabilities, however, and the user begins interacting with the interface by touching it, it is no longer necessary to always highlight, or give focus to, a particular view. This motivates a mode for interaction named 'touch mode'.

For a touch capable device, once the user touches the screen, the device will enter touch mode. From this point onward, only views for which isFocusableInTouchMode() is true will be focusable, such as text editing widgets. Other views that are touchable, like buttons, will not take focus when touched; they will only fire the on click listeners.

Any time a user hits a directional key, such as a D-pad direction, the view device will exit touch mode, and find a view to take focus, so that the user may resume interacting with the user interface without touching the screen again.

The touch mode state is maintained across Activitys. Call isInTouchMode() to see whether the device is currently in touch mode.

Scrolling

The framework provides basic support for views that wish to internally scroll their content. This includes keeping track of the X and Y scroll offset as well as mechanisms for drawing scrollbars. See scrollBy(int, int), scrollTo(int, int), and awakenScrollBars() for more details.

Tags

Unlike IDs, tags are not used to identify views. Tags are essentially an extra piece of information that can be associated with a view. They are most often used as a convenience to store data related to views in the views themselves rather than by putting them in a separate structure.

Tags may be specified with character sequence values in layout XML as either a single tag using the android:tag attribute or multiple tags using the <tag> child element: 

     <View ...
           android:tag="@string/mytag_value" />
     <View ...>
         <tag android:id="@+id/mytag"
              android:value="@string/mytag_value" />
     </View>

Tags may also be specified with arbitrary objects from code using setTag(java.lang.Object) or setTag(int, java.lang.Object).

Themes

By default, Views are created using the theme of the Context object supplied to their constructor; however, a different theme may be specified by using the android:theme attribute in layout XML or by passing a ContextThemeWrapper to the constructor from code.

When the android:theme attribute is used in XML, the specified theme is applied on top of the inflation context's theme (see LayoutInflater) and used for the view itself as well as any child elements.

In the following example, both views will be created using the Material dark color scheme; however, because an overlay theme is used which only defines a subset of attributes, the value of android:colorAccent defined on the inflation context's theme (e.g. the Activity theme) will be preserved. 

     <LinearLayout
             ...
             android:theme="@android:theme/ThemeOverlay.Material.Dark">
         <View ...>
     </LinearLayout>

Properties

The View class exposes an ALPHA property, as well as several transform-related properties, such as TRANSLATION_X and TRANSLATION_Y. These properties are available both in the Property form as well as in similarly-named setter/getter methods (such as setAlpha(float) for ALPHA). These properties can be used to set persistent state associated with these rendering-related properties on the view. The properties and methods can also be used in conjunction with Animator-based animations, described more in the Animation section.

Animation

Starting with Android 3.0, the preferred way of animating views is to use the android.animation package APIs. These Animator-based classes change actual properties of the View object, such as alpha and translationX. This behavior is contrasted to that of the pre-3.0 Animation-based classes, which instead animate only how the view is drawn on the display. In particular, the ViewPropertyAnimator class makes animating these View properties particularly easy and efficient.

Alternatively, you can use the pre-3.0 animation classes to animate how Views are rendered. You can attach an Animation object to a view using setAnimation(android.view.animation.Animation) or startAnimation(android.view.animation.Animation). The animation can alter the scale, rotation, translation and alpha of a view over time. If the animation is attached to a view that has children, the animation will affect the entire subtree rooted by that node. When an animation is started, the framework will take care of redrawing the appropriate views until the animation completes.

Security

Sometimes it is essential that an application be able to verify that an action is being performed with the full knowledge and consent of the user, such as granting a permission request, making a purchase or clicking on an advertisement. Unfortunately, a malicious application could try to spoof the user into performing these actions, unaware, by concealing the intended purpose of the view. As a remedy, the framework offers a touch filtering mechanism that can be used to improve the security of views that provide access to sensitive functionality.

To enable touch filtering, call setFilterTouchesWhenObscured(boolean) or set the android:filterTouchesWhenObscured layout attribute to true. When enabled, the framework will discard touches that are received whenever the view's window is obscured by another visible window at the touched location. As a result, the view will not receive touches whenever the touch passed through a toast, dialog or other window that appears above the view's window.

For more fine-grained control over security, consider overriding the onFilterTouchEventForSecurity(android.view.MotionEvent) method to implement your own security policy. See also MotionEvent.FLAG_WINDOW_IS_OBSCURED.

int DRAWING_CACHE_QUALITY_AUTO

This constant was deprecated in API level 28. The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

void buildDrawingCache(boolean autoScale)

This method was deprecated in API level 28. The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

Bitmap getDrawingCache()

This method was deprecated in API level 28. The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

void setWillNotCacheDrawing(boolean willNotCacheDrawing)

This method was deprecated in API level 28. The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

    AUTOFILL_FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS

    Added in API level 26 
    public static final int AUTOFILL_FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS

    AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_DATE

    Added in API level 26 
    public static final String AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_DATE

    Hint indicating that this view can be autofilled with a credit card expiration date.

    It should be used when the credit card expiration date is represented by just one view; if it is represented by more than one (for example, one view for the month and another view for the year), then each of these views should use the hint specific for the unit (AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_DAY, AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_MONTH, or AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_YEAR).

    Can be used with either setAutofillHints(java.lang.String[]) or android:autofillHint (in which case the value should be .AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_DATE).

    When annotating a view with this hint, it's recommended to use a date autofill value to avoid ambiguity when the autofill service provides a value for it. To understand why a value can be ambiguous, consider "April of 2020", which could be represented as either of the following options:

    • "04/2020"
    • "4/2020"
    • "2020/04"
    • "2020/4"
    • "April/2020"
    • "Apr/2020"

    You define a date autofill value for the view by overriding the following methods:

    1. getAutofillType() to return AUTOFILL_TYPE_DATE.
    2. getAutofillValue() to return a date autofillvalue.
    3. autofill(android.view.autofill.AutofillValue) to expect a data autofillvalue.

    See setAutofillHints(java.lang.String) for more info about autofill hints.

    Constant Value: "creditCardExpirationDate"

    Can be used with either setAutofillHints(java.lang.String[]) or android:autofillHint (in which case the value should be .AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_DAY).

    See setAutofillHints(java.lang.String) for more info about autofill hints.

    Constant Value: "creditCardExpirationDay"

    AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_MONTH

    Added in API level 26 
    public static final String AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_MONTH

    Hint indicating that this view can be autofilled with a credit card expiration month.

    Can be used with either setAutofillHints(java.lang.String[]) or android:autofillHint (in which case the value should be .AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_MONTH).

    When annotating a view with this hint, it's recommended to use a text autofill value whose value is the numerical representation of the month, starting on 1 to avoid ambiguity when the autofill service provides a value for it. To understand why a value can be ambiguous, consider "January", which could be represented as either of

    • "1": recommended way.
    • "0": if following the Calendar.MONTH convention.
    • "January": full name, in English.
    • "jan": abbreviated name, in English.
    • "Janeiro": full name, in another language.

    Another recommended approach is to use a date autofill value - see AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_DATE for more details.

    See setAutofillHints(java.lang.String) for more info about autofill hints.

    Constant Value: "creditCardExpirationMonth"

    Flag indicating that the drag was initiated with AccessibilityNodeInfo.AccessibilityAction.ACTION_DRAG_START. When startDragAndDrop(android.content.ClipData, android.view.View.DragShadowBuilder, java.lang.Object, int) is called, this is used by the system to perform a drag without animations.

    Constant Value: 1024 (0x00000400)

    DRAG_FLAG_GLOBAL

    Added in API level 24 
    public static final int DRAG_FLAG_GLOBAL

    Flag indicating that a drag can cross window boundaries. When startDragAndDrop(android.content.ClipData, android.view.View.DragShadowBuilder, java.lang.Object, int) is called with this flag set, all visible applications with targetSdkVersion >= API 24 will be able to participate in the drag operation and receive the dragged content.

    If this is the only flag set, then the drag recipient will only have access to text data and intents contained in the ClipData object. Access to URIs contained in the ClipData is determined by other DRAG_FLAG_GLOBAL_* flags

    Constant Value: 256 (0x00000100)

    DRAG_FLAG_GLOBAL_SAME_APPLICATION

    Added in API level 35 
    public static final int DRAG_FLAG_GLOBAL_SAME_APPLICATION

    Flag indicating that a drag can cross window boundaries (within the same application). When startDragAndDrop(android.content.ClipData, android.view.View.DragShadowBuilder, java.lang.Object, int) is called with this flag set, only visible windows belonging to the same application (ie. share the same UID) with targetSdkVersion >= API 24 will be able to participate in the drag operation and receive the dragged content. If both DRAG_FLAG_GLOBAL_SAME_APPLICATION and DRAG_FLAG_GLOBAL are set, then DRAG_FLAG_GLOBAL_SAME_APPLICATION takes precedence and the drag will only go to visible windows from the same application.

    Constant Value: 4096 (0x00001000)

    DRAG_FLAG_GLOBAL_URI_READ

    Added in API level 24

    public static final int DRAG_FLAG_HIDE_CALLING_TASK_ON_DRAG_START

    Flag indicating that this drag will result in the caller activity's task to be hidden for the duration of the drag, which means that the source activity will not receive drag events for the current drag gesture. Only the current VoiceInteractionService may use this flag.

    Constant Value: 16384 (0x00004000)

    DRAG_FLAG_OPAQUE

    Added in API level 24 
    public static final int DRAG_FLAG_OPAQUE

    Flag indicating that the drag shadow will be opaque. When startDragAndDrop(android.content.ClipData, android.view.View.DragShadowBuilder, java.lang.Object, int) is called with this flag set, the drag shadow will be opaque, otherwise, it will be semitransparent.

    Constant Value: 512 (0x00000200)

    DRAG_FLAG_START_INTENT_SENDER_ON_UNHANDLED_DRAG

    Added in API level 35 
    public static final int DRAG_FLAG_START_INTENT_SENDER_ON_UNHANDLED_DRAG

    Flag indicating that an unhandled drag should be delegated to the system to be started if no visible window wishes to handle the drop. When using this flag, the caller must provide ClipData with an Item that contains an immutable IntentSender to an activity to be launched (not a broadcast, service, etc). See ClipData.Item.Builder.setIntentSender(IntentSender). The system can decide to launch the intent or not based on factors like the current screen size or windowing mode. If the system does not launch the intent, it will be canceled via the normal drag and drop flow.

    Constant Value: 8192 (0x00002000)

    DRAWING_CACHE_QUALITY_AUTO

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 28 
    public static final int DRAWING_CACHE_QUALITY_AUTO

    This constant was deprecated in API level 28.
    The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

    Enables automatic quality mode for the drawing cache.

    Constant Value: 67108864 (0x04000000)

    LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE

    Added in API level 11 
    public static final int LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE

    Indicates that the view has a hardware layer. A hardware layer is backed by a hardware specific texture (generally Frame Buffer Objects or FBO on OpenGL hardware) and causes the view to be rendered using Android's hardware rendering pipeline, but only if hardware acceleration is turned on for the view hierarchy. When hardware acceleration is turned off, hardware layers behave exactly as software layers.

    A hardware layer is useful to apply a specific color filter and/or blending mode and/or translucency to a view and all its children.

    A hardware layer can be used to cache a complex view tree into a texture and reduce the complexity of drawing operations. For instance, when animating a complex view tree with a translation, a hardware layer can be used to render the view tree only once.

    A hardware layer can also be used to increase the rendering quality when rotation transformations are applied on a view. It can also be used to prevent potential clipping issues when applying 3D transforms on a view.

    Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

    LAYER_TYPE_NONE

    Added in API level 11 
    public static final int LAYER_TYPE_NONE

    Indicates that the view does not have a layer.

    Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

    LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE

    Added in API level 11 
    public static final int LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE

    Indicates that the view has a software layer. A software layer is backed by a bitmap and causes the view to be rendered using Android's software rendering pipeline, even if hardware acceleration is enabled.

    Software layers have various usages:

    When the application is not using hardware acceleration, a software layer is useful to apply a specific color filter and/or blending mode and/or translucency to a view and all its children.

    When the application is using hardware acceleration, a software layer is useful to render drawing primitives not supported by the hardware accelerated pipeline. It can also be used to cache a complex view tree into a texture and reduce the complexity of drawing operations. For instance, when animating a complex view tree with a translation, a software layer can be used to render the view tree only once.

    Software layers should be avoided when the affected view tree updates often. Every update will require to re-render the software layer, which can potentially be slow (particularly when hardware acceleration is turned on since the layer will have to be uploaded into a hardware texture after every update.)

    Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

    Added in API level 11
    Deprecated in API level 15 
    public static final int STATUS_BAR_VISIBLE

    Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

    SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN

    Added in API level 16
    Deprecated in API level 30 
    public static final int SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN

    This constant was deprecated in API level 30.
    Use WindowInsetsController.hide(int) with Type.statusBars() instead.

    Flag for setSystemUiVisibility(int): View has requested to go into the normal fullscreen mode so that its content can take over the screen while still allowing the user to interact with the application.

    This has the same visual effect as WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, meaning that non-critical screen decorations (such as the status bar) will be hidden while the user is in the View's window, focusing the experience on that content. Unlike the window flag, if you are using ActionBar in overlay mode with Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY, then enabling this flag will also hide the action bar.

    This approach to going fullscreen is best used over the window flag when it is a transient state -- that is, the application does this at certain points in its user interaction where it wants to allow the user to focus on content, but not as a continuous state. For situations where the application would like to simply stay full screen the entire time (such as a game that wants to take over the screen), the window flag is usually a better approach. The state set here will be removed by the system in various situations (such as the user moving to another application) like the other system UI states.

    When using this flag, the application should provide some easy facility for the user to go out of it. A common example would be in an e-book reader, where tapping on the screen brings back whatever screen and UI decorations that had been hidden while the user was immersed in reading the book.

    Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)

    SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION

    Added in API level 14
    Deprecated in API level 30 
    public static final int SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION

    This constant was deprecated in API level 30.
    Use WindowInsetsController.hide(int) with Type.navigationBars() instead.

    Flag for setSystemUiVisibility(int): View has requested that the system navigation be temporarily hidden.

    This is an even less obtrusive state than that called for by SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE; on devices that draw essential navigation controls (Home, Back, and the like) on screen, SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION will cause those to disappear. This is useful (in conjunction with the FLAG_FULLSCREEN and FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN window flags) for displaying content using every last pixel on the display.

    There is a limitation: because navigation controls are so important, the least user interaction will cause them to reappear immediately. When this happens, both this flag and SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN will be cleared automatically, so that both elements reappear at the same time.

    Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

    SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE

    Added in API level 19
    Deprecated in API level 30 
    public static final int SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE

    This constant was deprecated in API level 30.
    Use WindowInsetsController.BEHAVIOR_DEFAULT instead.

    Flag for setSystemUiVisibility(int): View would like to remain interactive when hiding the navigation bar with SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION. If this flag is not set, SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION will be force cleared by the system on any user interaction.

    Since this flag is a modifier for SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION, it only has an effect when used in combination with that flag.

    Constant Value: 2048 (0x00000800)

    SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY

    Added in API level 19
    Deprecated in API level 30 
    public static final int SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY

    This constant was deprecated in API level 30.
    Use WindowInsetsController.BEHAVIOR_SHOW_TRANSIENT_BARS_BY_SWIPE instead.

    Flag for setSystemUiVisibility(int): View would like to remain interactive when hiding the status bar with SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN and/or hiding the navigation bar with SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION. Use this flag to create an immersive experience while also hiding the system bars. If this flag is not set, SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION will be force cleared by the system on any user interaction, and SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN will be force-cleared by the system if the user swipes from the top of the screen.

    When system bars are hidden in immersive mode, they can be revealed temporarily with system gestures, such as swiping from the top of the screen. These transient system bars will overlay app's content, may have some degree of transparency, and will automatically hide after a short timeout.

    Since this flag is a modifier for SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN and SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION, it only has an effect when used in combination with one or both of those flags.

    Constant Value: 4096 (0x00001000)

    SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN

    Added in API level 16
    Deprecated in API level 30 
    public static final int SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN

    This constant was deprecated in API level 30.
    For floating windows, use LayoutParams.setFitInsetsTypes(int) with Type.statusBars() ()}. For non-floating windows that fill the screen, call Window.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(boolean) with false.

    Flag for setSystemUiVisibility(int): View would like its window to be laid out as if it has requested SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN, even if it currently hasn't. This allows it to avoid artifacts when switching in and out of that mode, at the expense that some of its user interface may be covered by screen decorations when they are shown. You can perform layout of your inner UI elements to account for non-fullscreen system UI through the fitSystemWindows(android.graphics.Rect) method.

    Note: on displays that have a DisplayCutout, the window may still be placed differently than if SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN was set, if the window's layoutInDisplayCutoutMode is LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_DEFAULT. To avoid this, use either of the other modes.

    Constant Value: 1024 (0x00000400)

    SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION

    For floating windows, use LayoutParams.setFitInsetsTypes(int) with Type.navigationBars(). For non-floating windows that fill the screen, call Window.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(boolean) with false.

    Flag for setSystemUiVisibility(int): View would like its window to be laid out as if it has requested SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION, even if it currently hasn't. This allows it to avoid artifacts when switching in and out of that mode, at the expense that some of its user interface may be covered by screen decorations when they are shown.

    SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE

    Added in API level 16
    Deprecated in API level 30 
    public static final int SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE

    This constant was deprecated in API level 30.
    Use WindowInsets.getInsetsIgnoringVisibility(int) instead to retrieve insets that don't change when system bars change visibility state.

    Flag for setSystemUiVisibility(int): When using other layout flags, we would like a stable view of the content insets given to fitSystemWindows(android.graphics.Rect). This means that the insets seen there will always represent the worst case that the application can expect as a continuous state. In the stock Android UI this is the space for the system bar, nav bar, and status bar, but not more transient elements such as an input method. The stable layout your UI sees is based on the system UI modes you can switch to. That is, if you specify SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN then you will get a stable layout for changes of the SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN mode; if you specify SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN and SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION, then you can transition to SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN and SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION with a stable layout. (Note that you should avoid using SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION by itself.) If you have set the window flag WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN to hide the status bar (instead of using SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN), then a hidden status bar will be considered a "stable" state for purposes here. This allows your UI to continually hide the status bar, while still using the system UI flags to hide the action bar while still retaining a stable layout. Note that changing the window fullscreen flag will never provide a stable layout for a clean transition.

    If you are using ActionBar in overlay mode with Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY, this flag will also impact the insets it adds to those given to the application.

    public static final int SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_NAVIGATION_BAR

    This constant was deprecated in API level 30.
    Use WindowInsetsController.APPEARANCE_LIGHT_NAVIGATION_BARS instead.

    Flag for setSystemUiVisibility(int): Requests the navigation bar to draw in a mode that is compatible with light navigation bar backgrounds.

    For this to take effect, the window must request FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS but not FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION.

    This constant was deprecated in API level 30.
    Low profile mode is deprecated. Hide the system bars instead if the application needs to be in a unobtrusive mode. Use WindowInsetsController.hide(int) with Type.systemBars().

    Flag for setSystemUiVisibility(int): View has requested the system UI to enter an unobtrusive "low profile" mode.

    This is for use in games, book readers, video players, or any other "immersive" application where the usual system chrome is deemed too distracting.

    In low profile mode, the status bar and/or navigation icons may dim.

    Public constructors

    View

    Added in API level 1 
    public View (Context context)

    Simple constructor to use when creating a view from code.

    Parameters
    context Context: The Context the view is running in, through which it can access the current theme, resources, etc.

    View

    Added in API level 1 
    public View (Context context, 
                AttributeSet attrs)

    Constructor that is called when inflating a view from XML. This is called when a view is being constructed from an XML file, supplying attributes that were specified in the XML file. This version uses a default style of 0, so the only attribute values applied are those in the Context's Theme and the given AttributeSet.

    The method onFinishInflate() will be called after all children have been added.

    Parameters
    context Context: The Context the view is running in, through which it can access the current theme, resources, etc.
    attrs AttributeSet: The attributes of the XML tag that is inflating the view. This value may be null.

    View

    Added in API level 1 
    public View (Context context, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                int defStyleAttr)

    Perform inflation from XML and apply a class-specific base style from a theme attribute. This constructor of View allows subclasses to use their own base style when they are inflating. For example, a Button class's constructor would call this version of the super class constructor and supply R.attr.buttonStyle for defStyleAttr; this allows the theme's button style to modify all of the base view attributes (in particular its background) as well as the Button class's attributes.

    Parameters
    context Context: The Context the view is running in, through which it can access the current theme, resources, etc.
    attrs AttributeSet: The attributes of the XML tag that is inflating the view. This value may be null.
    defStyleAttr int: An attribute in the current theme that contains a reference to a style resource that supplies default values for the view. Can be 0 to not look for defaults.

    View

    Added in API level 21 
    public View (Context context, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                int defStyleAttr, 
                int defStyleRes)

    Perform inflation from XML and apply a class-specific base style from a theme attribute or style resource. This constructor of View allows subclasses to use their own base style when they are inflating.

    When determining the final value of a particular attribute, there are four inputs that come into play:

    1. Any attribute values in the given AttributeSet.
    2. The style resource specified in the AttributeSet (named "style").
    3. The default style specified by defStyleAttr.
    4. The default style specified by defStyleRes.
    5. The base values in this theme.

    Each of these inputs is considered in-order, with the first listed taking precedence over the following ones. In other words, if in the AttributeSet you have supplied <Button * textColor="#ff000000"> , then the button's text will always be black, regardless of what is specified in any of the styles.

    Parameters
    context Context: The Context the view is running in, through which it can access the current theme, resources, etc.
    attrs AttributeSet: The attributes of the XML tag that is inflating the view. This value may be null.
    defStyleAttr int: An attribute in the current theme that contains a reference to a style resource that supplies default values for the view. Can be 0 to not look for defaults.
    defStyleRes int: A resource identifier of a style resource that supplies default values for the view, used only if defStyleAttr is 0 or can not be found in the theme. Can be 0 to not look for defaults.

    Public methods

    addChildrenForAccessibility

    Added in API level 16 
    public void addChildrenForAccessibility (ArrayList<View> outChildren)

    Adds the children of this View relevant for accessibility to the given list as output. Since some Views are not important for accessibility the added child views are not necessarily direct children of this view, rather they are the first level of descendants important for accessibility.

    Parameters
    outChildren ArrayList: The output list that will receive children for accessibility.

    addExtraDataToAccessibilityNodeInfo

    Added in API level 26 
    public void addExtraDataToAccessibilityNodeInfo (AccessibilityNodeInfo info,

                Bundle arguments)

    Adds extra data to an AccessibilityNodeInfo based on an explicit request for the additional data.

    This method only needs overloading if the node is marked as having extra data available.

    Parameters
    info AccessibilityNodeInfo: The info to which to add the extra data. Never null.
    extraDataKey String: A key specifying the type of extra data to add to the info. The extra data should be added to the Bundle returned by the info's AccessibilityNodeInfo.getExtras method. Never null.
    arguments Bundle: A Bundle holding any arguments relevant for this request. May be null if the service provided no arguments.

    Returns
    ViewPropertyAnimator ViewPropertyAnimator The ViewPropertyAnimator associated with this View.

    announceForAccessibility

    Added in API level 16
    Deprecated in API level 36 
    public void announceForAccessibility (CharSequence text)

    This method was deprecated in API level 36.
    Use one of the methods described in the documentation above to semantically describe UI instead of using an announcement, as accessibility services may choose to ignore events dispatched with this method.

    Convenience method for sending a AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_ANNOUNCEMENT AccessibilityEvent to suggest that an accessibility service announce the specified text to its users.

    Note: The event generated with this API carries no semantic meaning, and accessibility services may choose to ignore it. Apps that accurately supply accessibility with the semantics of their UI should not need to specify what exactly is announced.

    In general, do not attempt to generate announcements as confirmation message for simple actions like a button press. Label your controls concisely and precisely instead.

    To convey significant UI changes like window changes, use Activity.setTitle(CharSequence) and setAccessibilityPaneTitle(java.lang.CharSequence).

    Use setAccessibilityLiveRegion(int) to inform the user of changes to critical views within the user interface. These should still be used sparingly as they may generate announcements every time a View is updated.

    Use setStateDescription(java.lang.CharSequence) to convey state changes to views within the user interface. While a live region may send different types of events generated by the view, state description will send AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED events of type AccessibilityEvent.CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_STATE_DESCRIPTION.

    For notifying users about errors, such as in a login screen with text that displays an "incorrect password" notification, set AccessibilityNodeInfo.setError(CharSequence) and dispatch an AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED event with a change type of AccessibilityEvent.CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_ERROR, instead. Some widgets may expose methods that convey error states to accessibility automatically, such as TextView.setError(CharSequence), which manages these accessibility semantics and event dispatch for callers.

    Parameters
    text CharSequence: The announcement text.

    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.

    autofill

    Added in API level 26 
    public void autofill (SparseArray<AutofillValue> values)

    Automatically fills the content of the virtual children within this view.

    Views with virtual children support the Autofill Framework mainly by:

    • Providing the metadata defining what the virtual children mean and how they can be autofilled.
    • Implementing the methods that autofill the virtual children.

    onProvideAutofillVirtualStructure(android.view.ViewStructure, int) is responsible for the former, this method is responsible for the latter - see autofill(android.view.autofill.AutofillValue) and onProvideAutofillVirtualStructure(android.view.ViewStructure, int) for more info about autofill.

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

    Note: To indicate that a virtual view was autofilled, ?android:attr/autofilledHighlight should be drawn over it until the data changes.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    values SparseArray: map of values to be autofilled, keyed by virtual child id. This value cannot be null.

    bringToFront

    Added in API level 1 
    public void bringToFront ()

    Change the view's z order in the tree, so it's on top of other sibling views. This ordering change may affect layout, if the parent container uses an order-dependent layout scheme (e.g., LinearLayout). Prior to Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT this method should be followed by calls to requestLayout() and View.invalidate() on the view's parent to force the parent to redraw with the new child ordering.

    buildDrawingCache

    Added in API level 4
    Deprecated in API level 28 
    public void buildDrawingCache (boolean autoScale)

    This method was deprecated in API level 28.
    The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

    Forces the drawing cache to be built if the drawing cache is invalid.

    If you call buildDrawingCache() manually without calling setDrawingCacheEnabled(true), you should cleanup the cache by calling destroyDrawingCache() afterwards.

    Note about auto scaling in compatibility mode: When auto scaling is not enabled, this method will create a bitmap of the same size as this view. Because this bitmap will be drawn scaled by the parent ViewGroup, the result on screen might show scaling artifacts. To avoid such artifacts, you should call this method by setting the auto scaling to true. Doing so, however, will generate a bitmap of a different size than the view. This implies that your application must be able to handle this size.

    You should avoid calling this method when hardware acceleration is enabled. If you do not need the drawing cache bitmap, calling this method will increase memory usage and cause the view to be rendered in software once, thus negatively impacting performance.

    Parameters
    autoScale boolean

    buildDrawingCache

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 28 
    public void buildDrawingCache ()

    Calling this method is equivalent to calling buildDrawingCache(false).

    buildLayer

    Added in API level 12 
    public void buildLayer ()

    Forces this view's layer to be created and this view to be rendered into its layer. If this view's layer type is set to LAYER_TYPE_NONE, invoking this method will have no effect. This method can for instance be used to render a view into its layer before starting an animation. If this view is complex, rendering into the layer before starting the animation will avoid skipping frames.

    Throws
    IllegalStateException If this view is not attached to a window

    Parameters
    direction int: Negative to check scrolling up, positive to check scrolling down.
    Returns
    boolean true if this view can be scrolled in the specified direction, false otherwise.

    cancelDragAndDrop

    Added in API level 24 
    public final void cancelDragAndDrop ()

    Cancels an ongoing drag and drop operation.

    A DragEvent object with DragEvent.getAction() value of DragEvent.ACTION_DRAG_ENDED and DragEvent.getResult() value of false will be sent to every View that received DragEvent.ACTION_DRAG_STARTED even if they are not currently visible.

    This method can be called on any View in the same window as the View on which startDragAndDrop was called.

    cancelLongPress

    Added in API level 1 
    public void cancelLongPress ()

    Cancels a pending long press. Your subclass can use this if you want the context menu to come up if the user presses and holds at the same place, but you don't want it to come up if they press and then move around enough to cause scrolling.

    cancelPendingInputEvents

    Added in API level 19 
    public final void cancelPendingInputEvents ()

    Cancel any deferred high-level input events that were previously posted to the event queue.

    Many views post high-level events such as click handlers to the event queue to run deferred in order to preserve a desired user experience - clearing visible pressed states before executing, etc. This method will abort any events of this nature that are currently in flight.

    Custom views that generate their own high-level deferred input events should override onCancelPendingInputEvents() and remove those pending events from the queue.

    This will also cancel pending input events for any child views.

    Note that this may not be sufficient as a debouncing strategy for clicks in all cases. This will not impact newer events posted after this call that may occur as a result of lower-level input events still waiting in the queue. If you are trying to prevent double-submitted events for the duration of some sort of asynchronous transaction you should also take other steps to protect against unexpected double inputs e.g. calling setEnabled(false) and re-enabling the view when the transaction completes, tracking already submitted transaction IDs, etc.

    checkInputConnectionProxy

    Added in API level 3 
    public boolean checkInputConnectionProxy (View view)

    Called by the InputMethodManager when a view who is not the current input connection target is trying to make a call on the manager. The default implementation returns false; you can override this to return true for certain views if you are performing InputConnection proxying to them.

    Parameters
    view View: The View that is making the InputMethodManager call.
    Returns
    boolean Return true to allow the call, false to reject.

    clearAnimation

    Added in API level 1 
    public void clearAnimation ()

    Cancels any animations for this view.

    clearFocus

    Added in API level 1 
    public void clearFocus ()

    Called when this view wants to give up focus. If focus is cleared onFocusChanged(boolean, int, android.graphics.Rect) is called.

    Note: When not in touch-mode, the framework will try to give focus to the first focusable View from the top after focus is cleared. Hence, if this View is the first from the top that can take focus, then all callbacks related to clearing focus will be invoked after which the framework will give focus to this view.

    clearPendingCredentialRequest

    Added in API level 35 
    public void clearPendingCredentialRequest ()

    Clears the request and callback previously set through View.setPendingCredentialRequest. Once this API is invoked, there will be no request fired to CredentialManager on future view focus events.

    clearViewTranslationCallback

    Added in API level 31 
    public void clearViewTranslationCallback ()

    Clear the ViewTranslationCallback from this view.

    combineMeasuredStates

    Added in API level 11 
    public static int combineMeasuredStates (int curState, 
                int newState)

    Merge two states as returned by getMeasuredState().

    Parameters
    curState int: The current state as returned from a view or the result of combining multiple views.
    newState int: The new view state to combine.
    Returns
    int Returns a new integer reflecting the combination of the two states.

    computeScroll

    Added in API level 1 
    public void computeScroll ()

    Called by a parent to request that a child update its values for mScrollX and mScrollY if necessary. This will typically be done if the child is animating a scroll using a Scroller object.

    computeSystemWindowInsets

    Added in API level 21 
    public WindowInsets computeSystemWindowInsets (WindowInsets in, 
                Rect outLocalInsets)

    Compute insets that should be consumed by this view and the ones that should propagate to those under it.

    Parameters
    in WindowInsets: Insets currently being processed by this View, likely received as a parameter to onApplyWindowInsets(android.view.WindowInsets).
    outLocalInsets Rect: A Rect that will receive the insets that should be consumed by this view
    Returns
    WindowInsets Insets that should be passed along to views under this one

    createAccessibilityNodeInfo

    Added in API level 14 
    public AccessibilityNodeInfo createAccessibilityNodeInfo ()

    Returns an AccessibilityNodeInfo representing this view from the point of view of an AccessibilityService. This method is responsible for obtaining an accessibility node info from a pool of reusable instances and calling onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo(android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityNodeInfo) on this view to initialize the former.

    Note: The client is responsible for recycling the obtained instance by calling AccessibilityNodeInfo.recycle() to minimize object creation.

    Returns
    AccessibilityNodeInfo A populated AccessibilityNodeInfo.

    createContextMenu

    Added in API level 1 
    public void createContextMenu (ContextMenu menu)

    Show the context menu for this view. It is not safe to hold on to the menu after returning from this method. You should normally not overload this method. Overload onCreateContextMenu(android.view.ContextMenu) or define an OnCreateContextMenuListener to add items to the context menu.

    Parameters
    menu ContextMenu: The context menu to populate

    destroyDrawingCache

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 28 
    public void destroyDrawingCache ()

    This method was deprecated in API level 28.
    The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

    Frees the resources used by the drawing cache. If you call buildDrawingCache() manually without calling setDrawingCacheEnabled(true), you should cleanup the cache with this method afterwards.

    dispatchApplyWindowInsets

    Added in API level 20 
    public WindowInsets dispatchApplyWindowInsets (WindowInsets insets)

    Request to apply the given window insets to this view or another view in its subtree.

    This method should be called by clients wishing to apply insets corresponding to areas obscured by window decorations or overlays. This can include the status and navigation bars, action bars, input methods and more. New inset categories may be added in the future. The method returns the insets provided minus any that were applied by this view or its children.

    Clients wishing to provide custom behavior should override the onApplyWindowInsets(android.view.WindowInsets) method or alternatively provide a OnApplyWindowInsetsListener via the setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener method.

    This method replaces the older fitSystemWindows method.

    Parameters
    insets WindowInsets: Insets to apply
    Returns
    WindowInsets The provided insets minus the insets that were consumed

    dispatchCapturedPointerEvent

    Added in API level 26 
    public boolean dispatchCapturedPointerEvent (MotionEvent event)

    Pass a captured pointer event down to the focused view.

    Parameters
    event MotionEvent: The motion event to be dispatched.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event was handled by the view, false otherwise.

    dispatchConfigurationChanged

    Added in API level 8 
    public void dispatchConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

    Dispatch a notification about a resource configuration change down the view hierarchy. ViewGroups should override to route to their children.

    Parameters
    newConfig Configuration: The new resource configuration.

    dispatchCreateViewTranslationRequest

    Added in API level 31 
    public void dispatchCreateViewTranslationRequest (Map<AutofillId, long[]> viewIds, 
                int[] supportedFormats, 
                TranslationCapability capability, 
                List<ViewTranslationRequest> requests)

    Dispatch to collect the ViewTranslationRequests for translation purpose by traversing the hierarchy when the app requests ui translation. Typically, this method should only be overridden by subclasses that provide a view hierarchy (such as ViewGroup). Other classes should override View.onCreateViewTranslationRequest for normal view or override View.onVirtualViewTranslationResponses for view contains virtual children. When requested to start the ui translation, the system will call this method to traverse the view hierarchy to collect ViewTranslationRequests and create a Translator to translate the requests. All the ViewTranslationRequests must be added when the traversal is done.

    The default implementation calls View.onCreateViewTranslationRequest for normal view or calls View.onVirtualViewTranslationResponses for view contains virtual children to build ViewTranslationRequest if the view should be translated. The view is marked as having transient state so that recycling of views doesn't prevent the system from attaching the response to it. Therefore, if overriding this method, you should set or reset the transient state.

    Parameters
    viewIds Map: a map for the view's AutofillId and its virtual child ids or null if the view doesn't have virtual child that should be translated. The virtual child ids are the same virtual ids provided by ContentCapture.
    supportedFormats int: the supported translation formats. For now, the only possible value is the TranslationSpec.DATA_FORMAT_TEXT. This value cannot be null. Value is TranslationSpec.DATA_FORMAT_TEXT
    capability TranslationCapability: a TranslationCapability that holds translation capability. information, e.g. source spec, target spec. This value cannot be null.
    requests List: fill in with ViewTranslationRequests for translation purpose. This value cannot be null.

    dispatchDisplayHint

    Added in API level 8 
    public void dispatchDisplayHint (int hint)

    Dispatch a hint about whether this view is displayed. For instance, when a View moves out of the screen, it might receives a display hint indicating the view is not displayed. Applications should not rely on this hint as there is no guarantee that they will receive one.

    Parameters
    hint int: A hint about whether or not this view is displayed: VISIBLE or INVISIBLE. Value is VISIBLE, INVISIBLE, or GONE

    dispatchDragEvent

    Added in API level 11 
    public boolean dispatchDragEvent (DragEvent event)

    Detects if this View is enabled and has a drag event listener. If both are true, then it calls the drag event listener with the DragEvent it received. If the drag event listener returns true, then dispatchDragEvent() returns true.

    For all other cases, the method calls the onDragEvent() drag event handler method and returns its result.

    This ensures that a drag event is always consumed, even if the View does not have a drag event listener. However, if the View has a listener and the listener returns true, then onDragEvent() is not called.

    Parameters
    event DragEvent

    Returns
    boolean

    dispatchDrawableHotspotChanged

    Added in API level 22 
    public void dispatchDrawableHotspotChanged (float x, 
                float y)

    Dispatches drawableHotspotChanged to all of this View's children.

    Parameters
    x float: hotspot x coordinate
    y float: hotspot y coordinate

    dispatchFinishTemporaryDetach

    Added in API level 24 
    public void dispatchFinishTemporaryDetach ()

    Dispatch onFinishTemporaryDetach() to this View and its direct children if this is a container View.
    If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

    dispatchGenericMotionEvent

    Added in API level 12 
    public boolean dispatchGenericMotionEvent (MotionEvent event)

    Dispatch a generic motion event.

    Generic motion events with source class InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER are delivered to the view under the pointer. All other generic motion events are delivered to the focused view. Hover events are handled specially and are delivered to onHoverEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) first.

    Parameters
    event MotionEvent: The motion event to be dispatched.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event was handled by the view, false otherwise.

    dispatchKeyEvent

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean dispatchKeyEvent (KeyEvent event)

    Dispatch a key event to the next view on the focus path. This path runs from the top of the view tree down to the currently focused view. If this view has focus, it will dispatch to itself. Otherwise it will dispatch the next node down the focus path. This method also fires any key listeners.

    Parameters
    event KeyEvent: The key event to be dispatched.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

    dispatchKeyEventPreIme

    Added in API level 3 
    public boolean dispatchKeyEventPreIme (KeyEvent event)

    Dispatch a key event before it is processed by any input method associated with the view hierarchy. This can be used to intercept key events in special situations before the IME consumes them; a typical example would be handling the BACK key to update the application's UI instead of allowing the IME to see it and close itself.

    Parameters
    event KeyEvent: The key event to be dispatched.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

    dispatchKeyShortcutEvent

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean dispatchKeyShortcutEvent (KeyEvent event)

    Dispatches a key shortcut event.

    Parameters
    event KeyEvent: The key event to be dispatched.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event was handled by the view, false otherwise.

    dispatchNestedFling

    Added in API level 21 
    public boolean dispatchNestedFling (float velocityX, 
                float velocityY, 
                boolean consumed)

    Dispatch a fling to a nested scrolling parent.

    This method should be used to indicate that a nested scrolling child has detected suitable conditions for a fling. Generally this means that a touch scroll has ended with a velocity in the direction of scrolling that meets or exceeds the minimum fling velocity along a scrollable axis.

    If a nested scrolling child view would normally fling but it is at the edge of its own content, it can use this method to delegate the fling to its nested scrolling parent instead. The parent may optionally consume the fling or observe a child fling.

    Parameters
    velocityX float: Horizontal fling velocity in pixels per second
    velocityY float: Vertical fling velocity in pixels per second
    consumed boolean: true if the child consumed the fling, false otherwise
    Returns
    boolean true if the nested scrolling parent consumed or otherwise reacted to the fling

    dispatchNestedPreFling

    Added in API level 21 
    public boolean dispatchNestedPreFling (float velocityX, 
                float velocityY)

    Dispatch a fling to a nested scrolling parent before it is processed by this view.

    Nested pre-fling events are to nested fling events what touch intercept is to touch and what nested pre-scroll is to nested scroll. dispatchNestedPreFling offsets an opportunity for the parent view in a nested fling to fully consume the fling before the child view consumes it. If this method returns true, a nested parent view consumed the fling and this view should not scroll as a result.

    For a better user experience, only one view in a nested scrolling chain should consume the fling at a time. If a parent view consumed the fling this method will return false. Custom view implementations should account for this in two ways:

    • If a custom view is paged and needs to settle to a fixed page-point, do not call dispatchNestedPreFling; consume the fling and settle to a valid position regardless.
    • If a nested parent does consume the fling, this view should not scroll at all, even to settle back to a valid idle position.

    Views should also not offer fling velocities to nested parent views along an axis where scrolling is not currently supported; a ScrollView should not offer a horizontal fling velocity to its parents since scrolling along that axis is not permitted and carrying velocity along that motion does not make sense.

    Parameters
    velocityX float: Horizontal fling velocity in pixels per second
    velocityY float: Vertical fling velocity in pixels per second
    Returns
    boolean true if a nested scrolling parent consumed the fling

    dispatchNestedPrePerformAccessibilityAction

    Added in API level 22 
    public boolean dispatchNestedPrePerformAccessibilityAction (int action, 
                Bundle arguments)

    Report an accessibility action to this view's parents for delegated processing.

    Implementations of performAccessibilityAction(int, android.os.Bundle) may internally call this method to delegate an accessibility action to a supporting parent. If the parent returns true from its ViewParent.onNestedPrePerformAccessibilityAction(View, int, android.os.Bundle) method this method will return true to signify that the action was consumed.

    This method is useful for implementing nested scrolling child views. If isNestedScrollingEnabled() returns true and the action is a scrolling action a custom view implementation may invoke this method to allow a parent to consume the scroll first. If this method returns true the custom view should skip its own scrolling behavior.

    Parameters
    action int: Accessibility action to delegate
    arguments Bundle: Optional action arguments This value may be null.
    Returns
    boolean true if the action was consumed by a parent

    dispatchNestedPreScroll

    Added in API level 21 
    public boolean dispatchNestedPreScroll (int dx, 
                int dy, 
                int[] consumed, 
                int[] offsetInWindow)

    Dispatch one step of a nested scroll in progress before this view consumes any portion of it.

    Nested pre-scroll events are to nested scroll events what touch intercept is to touch. dispatchNestedPreScroll offers an opportunity for the parent view in a nested scrolling operation to consume some or all of the scroll operation before the child view consumes it.

    Parameters
    dx int: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels
    dy int: Vertical scroll distance in pixels
    consumed int: Output. If not null, consumed[0] will contain the consumed component of dx and consumed[1] the consumed dy.
    offsetInWindow int: Optional. If not null, on return this will contain the offset in local view coordinates of this view from before this operation to after it completes. View implementations may use this to adjust expected input coordinate tracking.
    Returns
    boolean true if the parent consumed some or all of the scroll delta

    dispatchNestedScroll

    Added in API level 21 
    public boolean dispatchNestedScroll (int dxConsumed, 
                int dyConsumed, 
                int dxUnconsumed, 
                int dyUnconsumed, 
                int[] offsetInWindow)

    Dispatch one step of a nested scroll in progress.

    Implementations of views that support nested scrolling should call this to report info about a scroll in progress to the current nested scrolling parent. If a nested scroll is not currently in progress or nested scrolling is not enabled for this view this method does nothing.

    Compatible View implementations should also call dispatchNestedPreScroll before consuming a component of the scroll event themselves.

    Parameters
    dxConsumed int: Horizontal distance in pixels consumed by this view during this scroll step
    dyConsumed int: Vertical distance in pixels consumed by this view during this scroll step
    dxUnconsumed int: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by this view
    dyUnconsumed int: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by this view
    offsetInWindow int: Optional. If not null, on return this will contain the offset in local view coordinates of this view from before this operation to after it completes. View implementations may use this to adjust expected input coordinate tracking.
    Returns
    boolean true if the event was dispatched, false if it could not be dispatched.

    dispatchPointerCaptureChanged

    Added in API level 26 
    public void dispatchPointerCaptureChanged (boolean hasCapture)

    Parameters
    hasCapture boolean

    dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent

    Added in API level 4 
    public boolean dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent (AccessibilityEvent event)

    Dispatches an AccessibilityEvent to the View to add the text content of the view and its children.

    Note: This method should only be used with event.setText(). Avoid mutating other event state in this method. In general, put UI metadata in the node for services to easily query.

    Note that the event text is populated in a separate dispatch path (onPopulateAccessibilityEvent(android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent)) since we add to the event not only the text of the source but also the text of all its descendants.

    A typical implementation will call onPopulateAccessibilityEvent(android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent) on this view and then call the dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent) on each child or the first child that is visible. Override this method if custom population of the event text content is required.

    If an AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(android.view.View.AccessibilityDelegate) its AccessibilityDelegate.dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

    If this view sets isAccessibilityDataSensitive() then this view should only append sensitive information to an event that also sets AccessibilityEvent.isAccessibilityDataSensitive().

    Note: Accessibility events of certain types are not dispatched for populating the event text via this method. For details refer to AccessibilityEvent.

    Parameters
    event AccessibilityEvent: The event.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event population was completed.

    dispatchProvideAutofillStructure

    Added in API level 26 
    public void dispatchProvideAutofillStructure (ViewStructure structure, 
                int flags)

    Dispatches creation of a ViewStructures for autofill purposes down the hierarchy, when an Assist structure is being created as part of an autofill request.

    The default implementation does the following:

    Typically, this method should only be overridden by subclasses that provide a view hierarchy (such as ViewGroup) - other classes should override onProvideAutofillStructure(android.view.ViewStructure, int) or onProvideAutofillVirtualStructure(android.view.ViewStructure, int) instead.

    When overridden, it must:

    • Either call super.dispatchProvideAutofillStructure(structure, flags) or explicitly set the AutofillId in the structure (for example, by calling structure.setAutofillId(getAutofillId())).
    • Decide how to handle the AUTOFILL_FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS flag - when set, all views in the structure should be considered important for autofill, regardless of what isImportantForAutofill() returns. We encourage you to respect this flag to provide a better user experience - this flag is typically used when an user explicitly requested autofill. If the flag is not set, then only views marked as important for autofill should be included in the structure - skipping non-important views optimizes the overall autofill performance.

    Parameters
    structure ViewStructure: fill in with structured view data for autofill purposes. This value cannot be null.
    flags int: optional flags. Value is either 0 or AUTOFILL_FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS

    dispatchProvideStructure

    Added in API level 23 
    public void dispatchProvideStructure (ViewStructure structure)

                Consumer<ScrollCaptureTarget> targets)

    Dispatch a scroll capture search request down the view hierarchy.

    Parameters
    localVisibleRect Rect: the visible area of this ViewGroup in local coordinates, according to the parent This value cannot be null.
    windowOffset Point: the offset of this view within the window This value cannot be null.
    targets Consumer: accepts potential scroll capture targets; results.accept may be called zero or more times on the calling thread before onScrollCaptureSearch returns This value cannot be null.

    dispatchStartTemporaryDetach

    Added in API level 24 
    public void dispatchStartTemporaryDetach ()

    Dispatch onStartTemporaryDetach() to this View and its direct children if this is a container View.
    If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

    dispatchUnhandledMove

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean dispatchUnhandledMove (View focused, 
                int direction)

    This method is the last chance for the focused view and its ancestors to respond to an arrow key. This is called when the focused view did not consume the key internally, nor could the view system find a new view in the requested direction to give focus to.

    Parameters

    draw

    Added in API level 1 
    public void draw (Canvas canvas)

    Manually render this view (and all of its children) to the given Canvas. The view must have already done a full layout before this function is called. When implementing a view, implement onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas) instead of overriding this method. If you do need to override this method, call the superclass version.
    If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

    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

    getDrawingCache

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 28 
    public Bitmap getDrawingCache ()

    This method was deprecated in API level 28.
    The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

    Calling this method is equivalent to calling getDrawingCache(false).

    Returns
    Bitmap A non-scaled bitmap representing this view or null if cache is disabled.

    getDrawingCache

    Added in API level 4
    Deprecated in API level 28

For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

    Returns the bitmap in which this view drawing is cached. The returned bitmap is null when caching is disabled. If caching is enabled and the cache is not ready, this method will create it. Calling draw(android.graphics.Canvas) will not draw from the cache when the cache is enabled. To benefit from the cache, you must request the drawing cache by calling this method and draw it on screen if the returned bitmap is not null.

    Note about auto scaling in compatibility mode: When auto scaling is not enabled, this method will create a bitmap of the same size as this view. Because this bitmap will be drawn scaled by the parent ViewGroup, the result on screen might show scaling artifacts. To avoid such artifacts, you should call this method by setting the auto scaling to true. Doing so, however, will generate a bitmap of a different size than the view. This implies that your application must be able to handle this size.

    Parameters
    autoScale boolean: Indicates whether the generated bitmap should be scaled based on the current density of the screen when the application is in compatibility mode.
    Returns
    Bitmap A bitmap representing this view or null if cache is disabled.

    After the method returns, the argument array contains the x and y coordinates of the view relative to the view's left and top edges, respectively.

    Parameters
    location int: A two-element integer array in which the view coordinates are stored. The x-coordinate is at index 0; the y-coordinate, at index 1. This value cannot be null.

    getLocationInWindow

    Added in API level 1 
    public void getLocationInWindow (int[] outLocation)

    Gets the coordinates of this view in the coordinate space of the window that contains the view, irrespective of system decorations.

    In multi-window mode, the origin of the coordinate space is the top left corner of the window that contains the view. In full screen mode, the origin is the top left corner of the device screen.

    In multiple-screen scenarios, if the app spans multiple screens, the coordinate space also spans multiple screens. But if the app is restricted to a single screen, the coordinate space includes only the screen on which the app is running.

    After the method returns, the argument array contains the x and y coordinates of the view relative to the view's left and top edges, respectively.

    Parameters
    outLocation int: A two-element integer array in which the view coordinates are stored. The x-coordinate is at index 0; the y-coordinate, at index 1.

    getLocationOnScreen

    Added in API level 1 
    public void getLocationOnScreen (int[] outLocation)

    Gets the coordinates of this view in the coordinate space of the device screen, irrespective of system decorations and whether the system is in multi-window mode.

    In multi-window mode, the coordinate space encompasses the entire device screen, ignoring the bounds of the app window. For example, if the view is in the bottom portion of a horizontal split screen, the top edge of the screen—not the top edge of the window—is the origin from which the y-coordinate is calculated.

    In multiple-screen scenarios, the coordinate space can span screens. For example, if the app is spanning both screens of a dual-screen device and the view is located on the right-hand screen, the x-coordinate is calculated from the left edge of the left-hand screen to the left edge of the view. When the app is restricted to a single screen in a multiple-screen environment, the coordinate space includes only the screen on which the app is running.

    After the method returns, the argument array contains the x and y coordinates of the view relative to the view's left and top edges, respectively.

    Parameters
    outLocation int: A two-element integer array in which the view coordinates are stored. The x-coordinate is at index 0; the y-coordinate, at index 1.

    getReceiveContentMimeTypes

    Added in API level 31 
    public String[] getReceiveContentMimeTypes ()

    Returns the MIME types accepted by performReceiveContent(ContentInfo) for this view, as configured via setOnReceiveContentListener(String, OnReceiveContentListener). By default returns null.

    Different features (e.g. pasting from the clipboard, inserting stickers from the soft keyboard, etc) may optionally use this metadata to conditionally alter their behavior. For example, a soft keyboard may choose to hide its UI for inserting GIFs for a particular input field if the MIME types returned here for that field don't include "image/gif" or "image/*".

    Note: Comparisons of MIME types should be performed using utilities such as ClipDescription.compareMimeTypes rather than simple string equality, in order to correctly handle patterns such as "text/*", "image/*", etc. Note that MIME type matching in the Android framework is case-sensitive, unlike formal RFC MIME types. As a result, you should always write your MIME types with lowercase letters, or use Intent.normalizeMimeType(String) to ensure that it is converted to lowercase.

    Returns
    String[] The MIME types accepted by performReceiveContent(ContentInfo) for this view (may include patterns such as "image/*").

    getRequestedFrameRate

    hasExplicitFocusable

    Added in API level 26 
    public boolean hasExplicitFocusable ()

    Returns true if this view is focusable or if it contains a reachable View for which hasExplicitFocusable() returns true. A "reachable hasExplicitFocusable()" is a view whose parents do not block descendants focus. Only VISIBLE views for which getFocusable() would return FOCUSABLE are considered focusable.

    This method preserves the pre-Build.VERSION_CODES.O behavior of hasFocusable() in that only views explicitly set focusable will cause this method to return true. A view set to FOCUSABLE_AUTO that resolves to focusable will not.

    Returns
    boolean true if the view is focusable or if the view contains a focusable view, false otherwise

    See also:

    hasFocus

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean hasFocus ()

    Returns true if this view has focus itself, or is the ancestor of the view that has focus.

    boolean True if this view has or contains focus, false otherwise.

    hasFocusable

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean hasFocusable ()

    Returns true if this view is focusable or if it contains a reachable View for which hasFocusable() returns true. A "reachable hasFocusable()" is a view whose parents do not block descendants focus. Only VISIBLE views are considered focusable.

    As of Build.VERSION_CODES.O views that are determined to be focusable through FOCUSABLE_AUTO will also cause this method to return true. Apps that declare a ApplicationInfo.targetSdkVersion of earlier than Build.VERSION_CODES.O will continue to see this method return false for views not explicitly marked as focusable. Use hasExplicitFocusable() if you require the pre-Build.VERSION_CODES.O behavior.

    Returns
    boolean true if the view is focusable or if the view contains a focusable view, false otherwise

    hasNestedScrollingParent

    Added in API level 21 
    public boolean hasNestedScrollingParent ()

    hasOverlappingRendering

    Added in API level 16 
    public boolean hasOverlappingRendering ()

    Returns whether this View has content which overlaps.

    This function, intended to be overridden by specific View types, is an optimization when alpha is set on a view. If rendering overlaps in a view with alpha < 1, that view is drawn to an offscreen buffer and then composited into place, which can be expensive. If the view has no overlapping rendering, the view can draw each primitive with the appropriate alpha value directly. An example of overlapping rendering is a TextView with a background image, such as a Button. An example of non-overlapping rendering is a TextView with no background, or an ImageView with only the foreground image. The default implementation returns true; subclasses should override if they have cases which can be optimized.

    Note: The return value of this method is ignored if forceHasOverlappingRendering(boolean) has been called on this view.

    Returns
    boolean true if the content in this view might overlap, false otherwise.

    hasPointerCapture

    Added in API level 26 
    public boolean hasPointerCapture ()

    hasTransientState

    Added in API level 16 
    public boolean hasTransientState ()

    Indicates whether the view is currently tracking transient state that the app should not need to concern itself with saving and restoring, but that the framework should take special note to preserve when possible.

    A view with transient state cannot be trivially rebound from an external data source, such as an adapter binding item views in a list. This may be because the view is performing an animation, tracking user selection of content, or similar.

    Returns
    boolean true if the view has transient state

    hasWindowFocus

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean hasWindowFocus ()

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 28 
    public void invalidate (Rect dirty)

    This method was deprecated in API level 28.
    The switch to hardware accelerated rendering in API 14 reduced the importance of the dirty rectangle. In API 21 the given rectangle is ignored entirely in favor of an internally-calculated area instead. Because of this, clients are encouraged to just call invalidate().

    Mark the area defined by dirty as needing to be drawn. If the view is visible, onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas) will be called at some point in the future.

    This must be called from a UI thread. To call from a non-UI thread, call postInvalidate().

    WARNING: In API 19 and below, this method may be destructive to dirty.

    Parameters
    dirty Rect: the rectangle representing the bounds of the dirty region

    isDrawingCacheEnabled

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 28 
    public boolean isDrawingCacheEnabled ()

    This method was deprecated in API level 28.
    The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

    Indicates whether the drawing cache is enabled for this view.

    Returns
    boolean true if the drawing cache is enabled

    Returns whether this View is currently able to take focus.

    Returns
    boolean True if this view can take focus, or false otherwise.

    isFocusableInTouchMode

    Added in API level 1 
    public final boolean isFocusableInTouchMode ()

    When a view is focusable, it may not want to take focus when in touch mode. For example, a button would like focus when the user is navigating via a D-pad so that the user can click on it, but once the user starts touching the screen, the button shouldn't take focus

    Related XML Attributes:

    Returns
    boolean Whether the view is focusable in touch mode.

    isFocused

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean isFocused ()

    Returns true if this view has focus

    Returns
    boolean True if this view has focus, false otherwise.

    boolean whether this view should have haptic feedback enabled for events such as long presses.

    isHardwareAccelerated

    Added in API level 11 
    public boolean isHardwareAccelerated ()

    Indicates whether this view is attached to a hardware accelerated window or not.

    Even if this method returns true, it does not mean that every call to draw(android.graphics.Canvas) will be made with an hardware accelerated Canvas. For instance, if this view is drawn onto an offscreen Bitmap and its window is hardware accelerated, Canvas.isHardwareAccelerated() will likely return false, and this method will return true.

    Returns
    boolean True if the view is attached to a window and the window is hardware accelerated; false in any other case.

    Returns
    boolean True if the view is currently hovered.

    isImportantForAccessibility

    Added in API level 21 
    public boolean isImportantForAccessibility ()

    Computes whether this view should be exposed for accessibility. In general, views that are interactive or provide information are exposed while views that serve only as containers are hidden.

    If an ancestor of this view has importance IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO_HIDE_DESCENDANTS, this method returns false.

    Otherwise, the value is computed according to the view's getImportantForAccessibility() value:

    1. IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO or IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO_HIDE_DESCENDANTS, return false
    2. IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_YES, return true
    3. IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_AUTO, return true if view satisfies any of the following:
    4. Has an accessibility pane title, see setAccessibilityPaneTitle(CharSequence)
    5. Is an accessibility heading, see setAccessibilityHeading(boolean).

    Returns
    boolean Whether the view is exposed for accessibility.

    isImportantForAutofill

    Added in API level 26 
    public final boolean isImportantForAutofill ()

    Hints the Android System whether the AssistStructure.ViewNode associated with this view is considered important for autofill purposes.

    Generally speaking, a view is important for autofill if:

    1. The view can be autofilled by an AutofillService.
    2. The view contents can help an AutofillService determine how other views can be autofilled.

        For example, view containers should typically return false for performance reasons (since the important info is provided by their children), but if its properties have relevant information (for example, a resource id called credentials, it should return true. On the other hand, views representing labels or editable fields should typically return true, but in some cases they could return false (for example, if they're part of a "Captcha" mechanism).

        The value returned by this method depends on the value returned by getImportantForAutofill():

        1. if it returns IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_YES or IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_YES_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS, then it returns true
        2. if it returns IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO or IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS, then it returns false
        3. if it returns IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_AUTO, then it uses some simple heuristics that can return true in some cases (like a container with a resource id), but false in most.
        4. otherwise, it returns false.

        The behavior of importances depends on Android version:

        1. For Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU and below:
          1. When a view is considered important for autofill:
            1. The view might automatically trigger an autofill request when focused on.
            2. The contents of the view are included in the ViewStructure used in an autofill request.
          2. On the other hand, when a view is considered not important for autofill:
            1. The view never automatically triggers autofill requests, but it can trigger a manual request through AutofillManager.requestAutofill(View).
            2. The contents of the view are not included in the ViewStructure used in an autofill request, unless the request has the AUTOFILL_FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS flag.
        2. For Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE and above:
          1. The system uses importance, along with other view properties and other optimization factors, to determine if a view should trigger autofill on focus.
          2. The contents of IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_AUTO, IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_YES, IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO, IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_YES_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS, and IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS views will be included in the ViewStructure used in an autofill request.

        Returns
        boolean whether the view is considered important for autofill.

    isImportantForContentCapture

    Added in API level 30 
    public final boolean isImportantForContentCapture ()

    Hints the Android System whether this view is considered important for content capture, based on the value explicitly set by setImportantForContentCapture(int) and heuristics when it's IMPORTANT_FOR_CONTENT_CAPTURE_AUTO.

    See ContentCaptureManager for more info about content capture.

    Returns
    boolean whether the view is considered important for content capture.

    isInEditMode

    Added in API level 3 
    public boolean isInEditMode ()

    Indicates whether this View is currently in edit mode. A View is usually in edit mode when displayed within a developer tool. For instance, if this View is being drawn by a visual user interface builder, this method should return true. Subclasses should check the return value of this method to provide different behaviors if their normal behavior might interfere with the host environment. For instance: the class spawns a thread in its constructor, the drawing code relies on device-specific features, etc. This method is usually checked in the drawing code of custom widgets.

    Returns
    boolean True if this View is in edit mode, false otherwise.

    isInLayout

    Added in API level 18 
    public boolean isInLayout ()

    Returns whether the view hierarchy is currently undergoing a layout pass. This information is useful to avoid situations such as calling requestLayout() during a layout pass.

    boolean whether the view hierarchy is currently undergoing a layout pass

    isInTouchMode

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean isInTouchMode ()

    Returns the touch mode state associated with this view. Attached views return the touch mode state from the associated window's display. Detached views just return the default touch mode value defined in com.android.internal.R.bool.config_defaultInTouchMode. Touch mode is entered once the user begins interacting with the device by touch, and affects various things like whether focus highlight is always visible to the user.

    Returns
    boolean the touch mode state associated with this view

    Returns
    boolean true if nested scrolling is enabled

    isOpaque

    Added in API level 7 
    public boolean isOpaque ()

    Indicates whether this View is opaque. An opaque View guarantees that it will draw all the pixels overlapping its bounds using a fully opaque color. Subclasses of View should override this method whenever possible to indicate whether an instance is opaque. Opaque Views are treated in a special way by the View hierarchy, possibly allowing it to perform optimizations during invalidate/draw passes.

    Returns
    boolean True if this View is guaranteed to be fully opaque, false otherwise.

    isPaddingRelative

    Added in API level 17 
    public boolean isPaddingRelative ()

    Related XML Attributes:

    Returns
    boolean

    isPressed

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean isPressed ()

    Indicates whether the view is currently in pressed state. Unless setPressed(boolean) is explicitly called, only clickable views can enter the pressed state.

    keyboardNavigationClusterSearch

    Added in API level 26 
    public View keyboardNavigationClusterSearch (View currentCluster, 
                int direction)

    Find the nearest keyboard navigation cluster in the specified direction. This does not actually give focus to that cluster.

    Parameters

    public void layout (int l, 
                int t, 
                int r, 
                int b)

    Assign a size and position to a view and all of its descendants

    This is the second phase of the layout mechanism. (The first is measuring). In this phase, each parent calls layout on all of its children to position them. This is typically done using the child measurements that were stored in the measure pass().

    Derived classes should not override this method. Derived classes with children should override onLayout. In that method, they should call layout on each of their children.

    Parameters
    l int: Left position, relative to parent
    t int: Top position, relative to parent
    r int: Right position, relative to parent
    b int: Bottom position, relative to parent

    measure

    Added in API level 1 
    public final void measure (int widthMeasureSpec, 
                int heightMeasureSpec)

    This is called to find out how big a view should be. The parent supplies constraint information in the width and height parameters.

    The actual measurement work of a view is performed in onMeasure(int, int), called by this method. Therefore, only onMeasure(int, int) can and must be overridden by subclasses.

    Parameters
    widthMeasureSpec int: Horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent
    heightMeasureSpec int: Vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent

    offsetLeftAndRight

    Added in API level 1 
    public void offsetLeftAndRight (int offset)

    Offset this view's horizontal location by the specified amount of pixels.

    Parameters
    offset int: the number of pixels to offset the view by

    offsetTopAndBottom

    Added in API level 1 
    public void offsetTopAndBottom (int offset)

    Offset this view's vertical location by the specified number of pixels.

    Parameters
    offset int: the number of pixels to offset the view by

    onApplyWindowInsets

    Added in API level 20 
    public WindowInsets onApplyWindowInsets (WindowInsets insets)

    Called when the view should apply WindowInsets according to its internal policy.

    This method should be overridden by views that wish to apply a policy different from or in addition to the default behavior. Clients that wish to force a view subtree to apply insets should call dispatchApplyWindowInsets(android.view.WindowInsets).

    Clients may supply an OnApplyWindowInsetsListener to a view. If one is set it will be called during dispatch instead of this method. The listener may optionally call this method from its own implementation if it wishes to apply the view's default insets policy in addition to its own.

    Implementations of this method should either return the insets parameter unchanged or a new WindowInsets cloned from the supplied insets with any insets consumed that this view applied itself. This allows new inset types added in future platform versions to pass through existing implementations unchanged without being erroneously consumed.

    By default if a view's fitsSystemWindows property is set then the view will consume the system window insets and apply them as padding for the view.

    Parameters
    insets WindowInsets: Insets to apply
    Returns
    WindowInsets The supplied insets with any applied insets consumed

    onCancelPendingInputEvents

    Added in API level 19 
    public void onCancelPendingInputEvents ()

    Called as the result of a call to cancelPendingInputEvents() on this view or a parent view.

    This method is responsible for removing any pending high-level input events that were posted to the event queue to run later. Custom view classes that post their own deferred high-level events via post(java.lang.Runnable), postDelayed(java.lang.Runnable, long) or Handler should override this method, call super.onCancelPendingInputEvents() and remove those callbacks as appropriate.

    onCapturedPointerEvent

    Added in API level 26 
    public boolean onCapturedPointerEvent (MotionEvent event)

    Implement this method to handle captured pointer events

    Parameters
    event MotionEvent: The captured pointer event.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

    onCheckIsTextEditor

    Added in API level 3 
    public boolean onCheckIsTextEditor ()

    Check whether the called view is a text editor, in which case it would make sense to automatically display a soft input window for it. Subclasses should override this if they implement onCreateInputConnection(android.view.inputmethod.EditorInfo) to return true if a call on that method would return a non-null InputConnection, and they are really a first-class editor that the user would normally start typing on when the go into a window containing your view.

    The default implementation always returns false. This does not mean that its onCreateInputConnection(android.view.inputmethod.EditorInfo) will not be called or the user can not otherwise perform edits on your view; it is just a hint to the system that this is not the primary purpose of this view.

    Returns
    boolean Returns true if this view is a text editor, else false.

    onCreateInputConnection

    Added in API level 3 
    public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection (EditorInfo outAttrs)

    Create a new InputConnection for an InputMethod to interact with the view. The default implementation returns null, since it doesn't support input methods. You can override this to implement such support. This is only needed for views that take focus and text input.

    When implementing this, you probably also want to implement onCheckIsTextEditor() to indicate you will return a non-null InputConnection.

    Also, take good care to fill in the EditorInfo object correctly and in its entirety, so that the connected IME can rely on its values. For example, EditorInfo.initialSelStart and EditorInfo.initialSelEnd members must be filled in with the correct cursor position for IMEs to work correctly with your application.

    Parameters
    outAttrs EditorInfo: Fill in with attribute information about the connection.
    Returns
    InputConnection

    onCreateViewTranslationRequest

    Added in API level 31 
    public void onCreateViewTranslationRequest (int[] supportedFormats, 
                Consumer<ViewTranslationRequest> requestsCollector)

    Collects a ViewTranslationRequest which represents the content to be translated in the view.

    The default implementation does nothing.

    Parameters
    supportedFormats int: the supported translation formats. For now, the only possible value is the TranslationSpec.DATA_FORMAT_TEXT. This value cannot be null. Value is TranslationSpec.DATA_FORMAT_TEXT
    requestsCollector Consumer: a ViewTranslationRequest collector that can be used to collect the information to be translated in the view. The requestsCollector only accepts one request; an IllegalStateException is thrown if more than one ViewTranslationRequest is submitted to it. The AutofillId must be set on the ViewTranslationRequest. This value cannot be null.

    onCreateVirtualViewTranslationRequests

    Added in API level 31 
    public void onCreateVirtualViewTranslationRequests (long[] virtualIds, 
                int[] supportedFormats, 
                Consumer<ViewTranslationRequest> requestsCollector)

    Collects ViewTranslationRequests which represents the content to be translated for the virtual views in the host view. This is called if this view returned a virtual view structure from onProvideContentCaptureStructure(ViewStructure, int) and the system determined that those virtual views were relevant for translation.

    The default implementation does nothing.

    Parameters
    virtualIds long: the virtual view ids which represents the virtual views in the host view. This value cannot be null.
    supportedFormats int: the supported translation formats. For now, the only possible value is the TranslationSpec.DATA_FORMAT_TEXT. This value cannot be null. Value is TranslationSpec.DATA_FORMAT_TEXT
    requestsCollector Consumer: a ViewTranslationRequest collector that can be called multiple times to collect the information to be translated in the host view. One ViewTranslationRequest per virtual child. The ViewTranslationRequest must contains the AutofillId corresponding to the virtualChildIds. Do not keep this Consumer after the method returns. This value cannot be null.

    onDragEvent

    Added in API level 11 
    public boolean onDragEvent (DragEvent event)

    Handles drag events sent by the system following a call to startDragAndDrop().

    The system calls this method and passes a DragEvent object in response to drag and drop events. This method can then call DragEvent.getAction() to determine the state of the drag and drop operation.

    The default implementation returns false unless an OnReceiveContentListener has been set for this view (see setOnReceiveContentListener(String, OnReceiveContentListener)), in which case the default implementation does the following:

    Parameters
    event DragEvent: The DragEvent object sent by the system. The DragEvent.getAction() method returns an action type constant that indicates the type of drag event represented by this object.
    Returns
    boolean true if the method successfully handled the drag event, otherwise false.

    The method must return true in response to an ACTION_DRAG_STARTED action type to continue to receive drag events for the current drag and drop operation.

    The method should return true in response to an ACTION_DROP action type if the dropped data was consumed (at least partially); false, if none of the data was consumed.

    For all other events, the return value is false.

    onDrawForeground

    Added in API level 23 
    public void onDrawForeground (Canvas canvas)

    Draw any foreground content for this view.

    Foreground content may consist of scroll bars, a foreground drawable or other view-specific decorations. The foreground is drawn on top of the primary view content.

    Parameters
    canvas Canvas: canvas to draw into This value cannot be null.

    onFilterTouchEventForSecurity

    Added in API level 9 
    public boolean onFilterTouchEventForSecurity (MotionEvent event)

    Filter the touch event to apply security policies.

    Parameters
    event MotionEvent: The motion event to be filtered.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event should be dispatched, false if the event should be dropped.

    onFinishTemporaryDetach

    Added in API level 3 
    public void onFinishTemporaryDetach ()

    Called after onStartTemporaryDetach() when the container is done changing the view.

    onGenericMotionEvent

    Added in API level 12 
    public boolean onGenericMotionEvent (MotionEvent event)

    Implement this method to handle generic motion events.

    Generic motion events describe joystick movements, hover events from mouse or stylus devices, trackpad touches, scroll wheel movements and other motion events not handled by onTouchEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) or onTrackballEvent(android.view.MotionEvent). The source of the motion event specifies the class of input that was received. Implementations of this method must examine the bits in the source before processing the event. The following code example shows how this is done.

    Generic motion events with source class InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER are delivered to the view under the pointer. All other generic motion events are delivered to the focused view. 

     public boolean onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event) {
     if (event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK)) {
         if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
             // process the joystick movement...
             return true;
         }
     }
     if (event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER)) {
         switch (event.getAction()) {
             case MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_MOVE:
                 // process the hover movement...
                 return true;
             case MotionEvent.ACTION_SCROLL:
                 // process the scroll wheel movement...
                 return true;
         }
     }
     return super.onGenericMotionEvent(event);
 }

    Parameters
    event MotionEvent: The generic motion event being processed.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

    onHoverChanged

    Added in API level 14 
    public void onHoverChanged (boolean hovered)

    Implement this method to handle hover state changes.

    This method is called whenever the hover state changes as a result of a call to setHovered(boolean).

    Parameters
    hovered boolean: The current hover state, as returned by isHovered().

    onHoverEvent

    Added in API level 14 
    public boolean onHoverEvent (MotionEvent event)

    Implement this method to handle hover events.

    This method is called whenever a pointer is hovering into, over, or out of the bounds of a view and the view is not currently being touched. Hover events are represented as pointer events with action MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_ENTER, MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_MOVE, or MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_EXIT.

    • The view receives a hover event with action MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_ENTER when the pointer enters the bounds of the view.
    • The view receives a hover event with action MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_MOVE when the pointer has already entered the bounds of the view and has moved.
    • The view receives a hover event with action MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_EXIT when the pointer has exited the bounds of the view or when the pointer is about to go down due to a button click, tap, or similar user action that causes the view to be touched.

    The view should implement this method to return true to indicate that it is handling the hover event, such as by changing its drawable state.

    The default implementation calls setHovered(boolean) to update the hovered state of the view when a hover enter or hover exit event is received, if the view is enabled and is clickable. The default implementation also sends hover accessibility events.

    Parameters
    event MotionEvent: The motion event that describes the hover.
    Returns
    boolean True if the view handled the hover event.

    onInitializeAccessibilityEvent

    Added in API level 14 
    public void onInitializeAccessibilityEvent (AccessibilityEvent event)

    Initializes an AccessibilityEvent with information about this View which is the event source. In other words, the source of an accessibility event is the view whose state change triggered firing the event.

    Example: Setting the password property of an event in addition to properties set by the super implementation: 

     public void onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) {
     super.onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(event);
     event.setPassword(true);
 }

    If an AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(android.view.View.AccessibilityDelegate) its AccessibilityDelegate.onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

    Note: Always call the super implementation before adding information to the event, in case the default implementation has basic information to add.


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

    Parameters
    event AccessibilityEvent: The event to initialize.

    onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo

    Added in API level 14 
    public void onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo (AccessibilityNodeInfo info)

    Initializes an AccessibilityNodeInfo with information about this view. The base implementation sets:

    Subclasses should override this method, call the super implementation, and set additional attributes.

    If an AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(android.view.View.AccessibilityDelegate) its AccessibilityDelegate.onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo(View, AccessibilityNodeInfo) is responsible for handling this call.


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

    Parameters
    info AccessibilityNodeInfo: The instance to initialize.

    onKeyDown

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean onKeyDown (int keyCode, 
                KeyEvent event)

    Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyDown(): perform press of the view when KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER or KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER is released, if the view is enabled and clickable.

    Key presses in software keyboards will generally NOT trigger this listener, although some may elect to do so in some situations. Do not rely on this to catch software key presses.

    Parameters
    keyCode int: a key code that represents the button pressed, from KeyEvent
    event KeyEvent: the KeyEvent object that defines the button action
    Returns
    boolean If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

    onKeyLongPress

    Added in API level 5 
    public boolean onKeyLongPress (int keyCode, 
                KeyEvent event)

    Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyLongPress(): always returns false (doesn't handle the event).

    Key presses in software keyboards will generally NOT trigger this listener, although some may elect to do so in some situations. Do not rely on this to catch software key presses.

    Parameters
    keyCode int: The value in event.getKeyCode().
    event KeyEvent: Description of the key event.
    Returns
    boolean If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

    onKeyMultiple

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean onKeyMultiple (int keyCode, 
                int repeatCount, 
                KeyEvent event)

    Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyMultiple(): always returns false (doesn't handle the event).

    Key presses in software keyboards will generally NOT trigger this listener, although some may elect to do so in some situations. Do not rely on this to catch software key presses.

    Parameters
    keyCode int: A key code that represents the button pressed, from KeyEvent.
    repeatCount int: The number of times the action was made.
    event KeyEvent: The KeyEvent object that defines the button action.
    Returns
    boolean If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

    onKeyPreIme

    Added in API level 3 
    public boolean onKeyPreIme (int keyCode, 
                KeyEvent event)

    Handle a key event before it is processed by any input method associated with the view hierarchy. This can be used to intercept key events in special situations before the IME consumes them; a typical example would be handling the BACK key to update the application's UI instead of allowing the IME to see it and close itself. Due to a bug, this function is not called for BACK key events on Android T and U, when the IME is shown.

    Parameters
    keyCode int: The value in event.getKeyCode().
    event KeyEvent: Description of the key event.
    Returns
    boolean If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

    onKeyShortcut

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean onKeyShortcut (int keyCode, 
                KeyEvent event)

    Called on the focused view when a key shortcut event is not handled. Override this method to implement local key shortcuts for the View. Key shortcuts can also be implemented by setting the shortcut property of menu items.

    Parameters
    keyCode int: The value in event.getKeyCode().
    event KeyEvent: Description of the key event.
    Returns
    boolean If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

    onKeyUp

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean onKeyUp (int keyCode, 
                KeyEvent event)

    Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyUp(): perform clicking of the view when KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER or KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE is released.

    Key presses in software keyboards will generally NOT trigger this listener, although some may elect to do so in some situations. Do not rely on this to catch software key presses.

    Parameters
    keyCode int: A key code that represents the button pressed, from KeyEvent.
    event KeyEvent: The KeyEvent object that defines the button action.
    Returns
    boolean If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

    onPointerCaptureChange

    Added in API level 26 
    public void onPointerCaptureChange (boolean hasCapture)

    Called when the window has just acquired or lost pointer capture.
    If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

    Parameters
    hasCapture boolean: True if the view now has pointerCapture, false otherwise.

    onPopulateAccessibilityEvent

    Added in API level 14 
    public void onPopulateAccessibilityEvent (AccessibilityEvent event)

    Called from dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent) giving a chance to this View to populate the accessibility event with its text content.

    Note: This method should only be used with event.setText(). Avoid mutating other event state in this method. Instead, follow the practices described in dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent). In general, put UI metadata in the node for services to easily query, than in transient events.

    Example: Adding formatted date string to an accessibility event in addition to the text added by the super implementation: 

     public void onPopulateAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) {
     super.onPopulateAccessibilityEvent(event);
     final int flags = DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_DATE | DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_WEEKDAY;
     String selectedDateUtterance = DateUtils.formatDateTime(mContext,
         mCurrentDate.getTimeInMillis(), flags);
     event.getText().add(selectedDateUtterance);
 }

    If an AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(android.view.View.AccessibilityDelegate) its AccessibilityDelegate.onPopulateAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

    Note: Always call the super implementation before adding information to the event, in case the default implementation has basic information to add.


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

    Parameters
    event AccessibilityEvent: The accessibility event which to populate.

    onProvideAutofillStructure

    Added in API level 26 
    public void onProvideAutofillStructure (ViewStructure structure, 
                int flags)

    Populates a ViewStructure to fullfil an autofill request.

    The structure should contain at least the following properties:

    It's also recommended to set the following properties - the more properties the structure has, the higher the chances of an AutofillService properly using the structure:

    The default implementation of this method already sets most of these properties based on related View methods (for example, the autofill id is set using getAutofillId(), the autofill type set using getAutofillType(), etc.), and views in the standard Android widgets library also override it to set their relevant properties (for example, TextView already sets the text properties), so it's recommended to only override this method (and call super.onProvideAutofillStructure()) when:

    Note: The left and top values set in ViewStructure.setDimens(int, int, int, int, int, int) must be relative to the next ViewGroup.isImportantForAutofill() predecessor view included in the structure.

    Views support the Autofill Framework mainly by:

    • Providing the metadata defining what the view means and how it can be autofilled.
    • Notifying the Android System when the view value changed by calling AutofillManager.notifyValueChanged(View).
    • Implementing the methods that autofill the view.

    This method is responsible for the former; autofill(android.view.autofill.AutofillValue) is responsible for the latter.

    Parameters
    structure ViewStructure: fill in with structured view data for autofill purposes.
    flags int: optional flags. Value is either 0 or AUTOFILL_FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS

    onProvideAutofillVirtualStructure

    Added in API level 26 
    public void onProvideAutofillVirtualStructure (ViewStructure structure, 
                int flags)

    Populates a ViewStructure containing virtual children to fullfil an autofill request.

    This method should be used when the view manages a virtual structure under this view. For example, a view that draws input fields using draw(android.graphics.Canvas).

    When implementing this method, subclasses must follow the rules below:

    Views with virtual children support the Autofill Framework mainly by:

    • Providing the metadata defining what the virtual children mean and how they can be autofilled.
    • Implementing the methods that autofill the virtual children.

    This method is responsible for the former; autofill(android.util.SparseArray) is responsible for the latter.

    Parameters
    structure ViewStructure: fill in with virtual children data for autofill purposes.
    flags int: optional flags.

    onProvideContentCaptureStructure

    Added in API level 30 
    public void onProvideContentCaptureStructure (ViewStructure structure, 
                int flags)

    Populates a ViewStructure for content capture.

    This method is called after a view that is eligible for content capture (for example, if it isImportantForContentCapture(), an intelligence service is enabled for the user, and the activity rendering the view is enabled for content capture) is laid out and is visible. The populated structure is then passed to the service through ContentCaptureSession.notifyViewAppeared(ViewStructure).

    The default implementation of this method sets the most relevant properties based on related View methods, and views in the standard Android widgets library also override it to set their relevant properties. Therefore, if overriding this method, it is recommended to call super.onProvideContentCaptureStructure().

    Note: views that manage a virtual structure under this view must populate just the node representing this view and return right away, then asynchronously report (not necessarily in the UI thread) when the children nodes appear, disappear or have their text changed by calling ContentCaptureSession.notifyViewAppeared(ViewStructure), ContentCaptureSession.notifyViewDisappeared(AutofillId), and ContentCaptureSession.notifyViewTextChanged(AutofillId, CharSequence) respectively. The structure for a child must be created using ContentCaptureSession.newVirtualViewStructure(AutofillId, long), and the autofillId for a child can be obtained either through childStructure.getAutofillId() or ContentCaptureSession.newAutofillId(AutofillId, long).

    When the virtual view hierarchy represents a web page, you should also:

    Note: the following methods of the structure will be ignored:

    Parameters
    structure ViewStructure: This value cannot be null.
    flags int

    onProvideStructure

    Added in API level 23 
    public void onProvideStructure (ViewStructure structure)

    Called when assist structure is being retrieved from a view as part of Activity.onProvideAssistData.

    Parameters
    structure ViewStructure: Fill in with structured view data. The default implementation fills in all data that can be inferred from the view itself.

    onProvideVirtualStructure

    Added in API level 23 
    public void onProvideVirtualStructure (ViewStructure structure)

    Called when assist structure is being retrieved from a view as part of Activity.onProvideAssistData to generate additional virtual structure under this view. The default implementation uses getAccessibilityNodeProvider() to try to generate this from the view's virtual accessibility nodes, if any. You can override this for a more optimal implementation providing this data.

    Parameters
    structure ViewStructure

    onReceiveContent

    Added in API level 31 
    public ContentInfo onReceiveContent (ContentInfo payload)

    Implements the default behavior for receiving content for this type of view. The default view implementation is a no-op (returns the passed-in content without acting on it).

    Widgets should override this method to define their default behavior for receiving content. Apps should set a listener to provide app-specific handling for receiving content.

    See setOnReceiveContentListener(String, OnReceiveContentListener) and performReceiveContent(ContentInfo) for more info.

    Parameters
    payload ContentInfo: The content to insert and related metadata. This value cannot be null.
    Returns
    ContentInfo The portion of the passed-in content that was not handled (may be all, some, or none of the passed-in content). This value may be null.

    onResolvePointerIcon

    Added in API level 24 
    public PointerIcon onResolvePointerIcon (MotionEvent event, 
                int pointerIndex)

    Resolve the pointer icon that should be used for specified pointer in the motion event. The default implementation will resolve the pointer icon to one set using setPointerIcon(android.view.PointerIcon) for mouse devices. Subclasses may override this to customize the icon for the given pointer. For example, to always show the PointerIcon.TYPE_HANDWRITING icon for a stylus pointer, the event can be resolved in the following way: 

     @Override
 public PointerIcon onResolvePointerIcon(MotionEvent event, int pointerIndex) {
     final int toolType = event.getToolType(pointerIndex);
     if (!event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_MOUSE)
             && event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_STYLUS)
             && (toolType == MotionEvent.TOOL_TYPE_STYLUS
                     || toolType == MotionEvent.TOOL_TYPE_ERASER)) {
         // Show this pointer icon only if this pointer is a stylus.
         return PointerIcon.getSystemIcon(mContext, PointerIcon.TYPE_HANDWRITING);
     }
     // Use the default logic for determining the pointer icon for other non-stylus pointers,
     // like for the mouse cursor.
     return super.onResolvePointerIcon(event, pointerIndex);
 }

    Parameters
    event MotionEvent: The MotionEvent that requires a pointer icon to be resolved for one of pointers.
    pointerIndex int: The index of the pointer in event for which to retrieve the PointerIcon. This will be between 0 and MotionEvent.getPointerCount().
    Returns
    PointerIcon the pointer icon to use for specified pointer, or null if a pointer icon is not specified and the default icon should be used.

    onRtlPropertiesChanged

    Added in API level 17 
    public void onRtlPropertiesChanged (int layoutDirection)

    Called when any RTL property (layout direction or text direction or text alignment) has been changed. Subclasses need to override this method to take care of cached information that depends on the resolved layout direction, or to inform child views that inherit their layout direction. The default implementation does nothing.

    Parameters
    layoutDirection int: the direction of the layout Value is LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR, or LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL

    onScreenStateChanged

    Added in API level 16 
    public void onScreenStateChanged (int screenState)

    This method is called whenever the state of the screen this view is attached to changes. A state change will usually occurs when the screen turns on or off (whether it happens automatically or the user does it manually.)

    Parameters
    screenState int: The new state of the screen. Can be either SCREEN_STATE_ON or SCREEN_STATE_OFF

    onScrollCaptureSearch

    Added in API level 31 
    public void onScrollCaptureSearch (Rect localVisibleRect, 
                Point windowOffset, 
                Consumer<ScrollCaptureTarget> targets)

    Called when scroll capture is requested, to search for appropriate content to scroll. If applicable, this view adds itself to the provided list for consideration, subject to the flags set by setScrollCaptureHint(int).

    Parameters
    localVisibleRect Rect: the local visible rect of this view This value cannot be null.
    windowOffset Point: the offset of localVisibleRect within the window This value cannot be null.
    targets Consumer: accepts potential scroll capture targets; results.accept may be called zero or more times on the calling thread before onScrollCaptureSearch returns This value cannot be null.
    Throws
    IllegalStateException if this view is not attached to a window

    onStartTemporaryDetach

    Added in API level 3 
    public void onStartTemporaryDetach ()

    This is called when a container is going to temporarily detach a child, with ViewGroup.detachViewFromParent. It will either be followed by onFinishTemporaryDetach() or onDetachedFromWindow() when the container is done.

    onTouchEvent

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent event)

    Implement this method to handle pointer events.

    This method is called to handle motion events where pointers are down on the view. For example, this could include touchscreen touches, stylus touches, or click-and-drag events from a mouse. However, it is not called for motion events that do not involve pointers being down, such as hover events or mouse scroll wheel movements.

    If this method is used to detect click actions, it is recommended that the actions be performed by implementing and calling performClick(). This will ensure consistent system behavior, including:

    • obeying click sound preferences
    • dispatching OnClickListener calls
    • handling ACTION_CLICK when accessibility features are enabled

    Parameters
    event MotionEvent: The motion event.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

    onTrackballEvent

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean onTrackballEvent (MotionEvent event)

    Implement this method to handle trackball motion events.

    The relative movement of the trackball since the last event can be retrieve with MotionEvent.getX() and MotionEvent.getY(). These are normalized so that a movement of 1 corresponds to the user pressing one DPAD key (so they will often be fractional values, representing the more fine-grained movement information available from a trackball).

    Parameters
    event MotionEvent: The motion event.
    Returns
    boolean True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

    onViewTranslationResponse

    Added in API level 31 
    public void onViewTranslationResponse (ViewTranslationResponse response)

    Called when the content from View.onCreateViewTranslationRequest had been translated by the TranslationService. The ViewTranslationResponse should be saved here so that the ViewTranslationResponse can be used to display the translation when the system calls ViewTranslationCallback.onShowTranslation.

    The default implementation will set the ViewTranslationResponse that can be get from View.getViewTranslationResponse.

    Parameters
    response ViewTranslationResponse: a ViewTranslationResponse that contains the translated information which can be shown in the view. This value cannot be null.

    onVirtualViewTranslationResponses

    Added in API level 31 
    public void onVirtualViewTranslationResponses (LongSparseArray<ViewTranslationResponse> response)

    Called when the content from View.onCreateVirtualViewTranslationRequests had been translated by the TranslationService.

    The default implementation does nothing.

    Parameters
    response LongSparseArray: a ViewTranslationResponse SparseArray for the request that send by View.onCreateVirtualViewTranslationRequests that contains the translated information which can be shown in the view. The key of SparseArray is the virtual child ids. This value cannot be null.

    onVisibilityAggregated

    Added in API level 24 
    public void onVisibilityAggregated (boolean isVisible)

    Called when the user-visibility of this View is potentially affected by a change to this view itself, an ancestor view or the window this view is attached to.
    If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

    Parameters
    isVisible boolean: true if this view and all of its ancestors are VISIBLE and this view's window is also visible

    onWindowFocusChanged

    Added in API level 1 
    public void onWindowFocusChanged (boolean hasWindowFocus)

    Called when the window containing this view gains or loses focus. Note that this is separate from view focus: to receive key events, both your view and its window must have focus. If a window is displayed on top of yours that takes input focus, then your own window will lose focus but the view focus will remain unchanged.

    Parameters
    hasWindowFocus boolean: True if the window containing this view now has focus, false otherwise.

    onWindowSystemUiVisibilityChanged

    Added in API level 16
    Deprecated in API level 30 
    public void onWindowSystemUiVisibilityChanged (int visible)

    This method was deprecated in API level 30.
    SystemUiVisibility flags are deprecated. Use WindowInsetsController instead.

    Override to find out when the window's requested system UI visibility has changed, that is the value returned by getWindowSystemUiVisibility(). This is different from the callbacks received through setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener(android.view.View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener) in that this is only telling you about the local request of the window, not the actual values applied by the system.

    Parameters
    visible int

    performAccessibilityAction

    Added in API level 16 
    public boolean performAccessibilityAction (int action, 
                Bundle arguments)

    Performs the specified accessibility action on the view. For possible accessibility actions look at AccessibilityNodeInfo.

    If an AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(android.view.View.AccessibilityDelegate) its AccessibilityDelegate.performAccessibilityAction(View, int, Bundle) is responsible for handling this call.

    The default implementation will delegate AccessibilityNodeInfo.ACTION_SCROLL_BACKWARD and AccessibilityNodeInfo.ACTION_SCROLL_FORWARD to nested scrolling parents if nested scrolling is enabled on this view.

    Note: Avoid setting accessibility focus with AccessibilityNodeInfo.ACTION_ACCESSIBILITY_FOCUS. This is intended to be controlled by screen readers. Apps changing focus can confuse screen readers, so the resulting behavior can vary by device and screen reader version.

    Parameters
    action int: The action to perform.
    arguments Bundle: Optional action arguments. This value may be null.
    Returns
    boolean Whether the action was performed.

    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.

    Added in API level 24 
    public boolean performContextClick (float x, 
                float y)

    Call this view's OnContextClickListener, if it is defined.

    Parameters
    x float: the x coordinate of the context click
    y float: the y coordinate of the context click
    Returns
    boolean True if there was an assigned OnContextClickListener that consumed the event, false otherwise.

    performContextClick

    Added in API level 23 
    public boolean performContextClick ()

    Call this view's OnContextClickListener, if it is defined.

    Returns
    boolean True if there was an assigned OnContextClickListener that consumed the event, false otherwise.

    Added in API level 24 
    public boolean performLongClick (float x, 
                float y)

    Calls this view's OnLongClickListener, if it is defined. Invokes the context menu if the OnLongClickListener did not consume the event, anchoring it to an (x,y) coordinate.

    Parameters
    x float: x coordinate of the anchoring touch event, or Float.NaN to disable anchoring
    y float: y coordinate of the anchoring touch event, or Float.NaN to disable anchoring
    Returns
    boolean true if one of the above receivers consumed the event, false otherwise

    performLongClick

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean performLongClick ()

    Calls this view's OnLongClickListener, if it is defined. Invokes the context menu if the OnLongClickListener did not consume the event.

    performReceiveContent

    Added in API level 31 
    public ContentInfo performReceiveContent (ContentInfo payload)

    Receives the given content. If no listener is set, invokes onReceiveContent(ContentInfo). If a listener is set, invokes the listener instead; if the listener returns a non-null result, invokes onReceiveContent(ContentInfo) to handle it.

    Parameters
    payload ContentInfo: The content to insert and related metadata. This value cannot be null.
    Returns
    ContentInfo The portion of the passed-in content that was not accepted (may be all, some, or none of the passed-in content).

    playSoundEffect

    Added in API level 1 
    public void playSoundEffect (int soundConstant)

    Play a sound effect for this view.

    The framework will play sound effects for some built in actions, such as clicking, but you may wish to play these effects in your widget, for instance, for internal navigation.

    The sound effect will only be played if sound effects are enabled by the user, and isSoundEffectsEnabled() is true.

    Parameters
    soundConstant int: One of the constants defined in SoundEffectConstants. Value is SoundEffectConstants.CLICK, SoundEffectConstants.NAVIGATION_LEFT, SoundEffectConstants.NAVIGATION_UP, SoundEffectConstants.NAVIGATION_RIGHT, SoundEffectConstants.NAVIGATION_DOWN, SoundEffectConstants.NAVIGATION_REPEAT_LEFT, SoundEffectConstants.NAVIGATION_REPEAT_UP, SoundEffectConstants.NAVIGATION_REPEAT_RIGHT, or SoundEffectConstants.NAVIGATION_REPEAT_DOWN

    public boolean post (Runnable action)

    Causes the Runnable to be added to the message queue. The runnable will be run on the user interface thread.

    Parameters
    action Runnable: The Runnable that will be executed.
    Returns
    boolean Returns true if the Runnable was successfully placed in to the message queue. Returns false on failure, usually because the looper processing the message queue is exiting.

    action Runnable: The Runnable that will be executed.
    delayMillis long: The delay (in milliseconds) until the Runnable will be executed.
    Returns
    boolean true if the Runnable was successfully placed in to the message queue. Returns false on failure, usually because the looper processing the message queue is exiting. Note that a result of true does not mean the Runnable will be processed -- if the looper is quit before the delivery time of the message occurs then the message will be dropped.

    Added in API level 1 
    public void refreshDrawableState ()

    Call this to force a view to update its drawable state. This will cause drawableStateChanged to be called on this view. Views that are interested in the new state should call getDrawableState.

    releasePointerCapture

    Added in API level 26 
    public void releasePointerCapture ()

    Releases the pointer capture.

    If the window does not have pointer capture, this call will do nothing.

    requestApplyInsets

    Added in API level 20 
    public void requestApplyInsets ()

    Ask that a new dispatch of onApplyWindowInsets(android.view.WindowInsets) be performed.

    requestFitSystemWindows

    Added in API level 16
    Deprecated in API level 20 
    public void requestFitSystemWindows ()

    This method was deprecated in API level 20.
    Use requestApplyInsets() for newer platform versions.

    Ask that a new dispatch of fitSystemWindows(android.graphics.Rect) be performed.

    requestFocus

    Added in API level 1 
    public final boolean requestFocus (int direction)

    Call this to try to give focus to a specific view or to one of its descendants and give it a hint about what direction focus is heading. A view will not actually take focus if it is not focusable (isFocusable() returns false), or if it is focusable and it is not focusable in touch mode (isFocusableInTouchMode()) while the device is in touch mode. See also focusSearch(int), which is what you call to say that you have focus, and you want your parent to look for the next one. This is equivalent to calling requestFocus(int, android.graphics.Rect) with null set for the previously focused rectangle.

    Parameters
    direction int: One of FOCUS_UP, FOCUS_DOWN, FOCUS_LEFT, and FOCUS_RIGHT
    Returns
    boolean Whether this view or one of its descendants actually took focus.

    requestFocus

    Added in API level 1 
    public final boolean requestFocus ()

    Call this to try to give focus to a specific view or to one of its descendants. A view will not actually take focus if it is not focusable (isFocusable() returns false), or if it can't be focused due to other conditions (not focusable in touch mode (isFocusableInTouchMode()) while the device is in touch mode, not visible, not enabled, or has no size). See also focusSearch(int), which is what you call to say that you have focus, and you want your parent to look for the next one. This is equivalent to calling requestFocus(int, android.graphics.Rect) with arguments FOCUS_DOWN and null.

    Returns
    boolean Whether this view or one of its descendants actually took focus.

    requestFocus

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean requestFocus (int direction, 
                Rect previouslyFocusedRect)

    Call this to try to give focus to a specific view or to one of its descendants and give it hints about the direction and a specific rectangle that the focus is coming from. The rectangle can help give larger views a finer grained hint about where focus is coming from, and therefore, where to show selection, or forward focus change internally. A view will not actually take focus if it is not focusable (isFocusable() returns false), or if it is focusable and it is not focusable in touch mode (isFocusableInTouchMode()) while the device is in touch mode. A View will not take focus if it is not visible. A View will not take focus if one of its parents has ViewGroup.getDescendantFocusability() equal to ViewGroup.FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS. See also focusSearch(int), which is what you call to say that you have focus, and you want your parent to look for the next one. You may wish to override this method if your custom View has an internal View that it wishes to forward the request to.

    Parameters
    direction int: One of FOCUS_UP, FOCUS_DOWN, FOCUS_LEFT, and FOCUS_RIGHT
    previouslyFocusedRect Rect: The rectangle (in this View's coordinate system) to give a finer grained hint about where focus is coming from. May be null if there is no hint.
    Returns
    boolean Whether this view or one of its descendants actually took focus.

    requestFocusFromTouch

    Added in API level 1 
    public final boolean requestFocusFromTouch ()

    Call this to try to give focus to a specific view or to one of its descendants. This is a special variant of requestFocus() that will allow views that are not focusable in touch mode to request focus when they are touched.

    Returns
    boolean Whether this view or one of its descendants actually took focus.

    See also:

    requestLayout

    Added in API level 1 
    public void requestLayout ()

    Call this when something has changed which has invalidated the layout of this view. This will schedule a layout pass of the view tree. This should not be called while the view hierarchy is currently in a layout pass (isInLayout(). If layout is happening, the request may be honored at the end of the current layout pass (and then layout will run again) or after the current frame is drawn and the next layout occurs.

    Subclasses which override this method should call the superclass method to handle possible request-during-layout errors correctly.


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

    requestPointerCapture

    Added in API level 26 
    public void requestPointerCapture ()

    Requests pointer capture mode.

    When the window has pointer capture, the mouse pointer icon will disappear and will not change its position. Enabling pointer capture will change the behavior of input devices in the following ways:

    When pointer capture changes, connected mouse and trackpad devices may be reconfigured, and their properties (such as their sources or motion ranges) may change. Use an InputManager.InputDeviceListener to be notified when a device changes (which may happen after enabling or disabling pointer capture), and use InputDevice.getDevice(int) to get the updated InputDevice.

    Events captured through pointer capture will be dispatched to OnCapturedPointerListener.onCapturedPointer(View, MotionEvent) if an OnCapturedPointerListener is set, and otherwise to onCapturedPointerEvent(android.view.MotionEvent).

    If the window already has pointer capture, this call does nothing.

    The capture may be released through releasePointerCapture(), or will be lost automatically when the window loses focus.

    requestRectangleOnScreen

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean requestRectangleOnScreen (Rect rectangle)

    Request that a rectangle of this view be visible on the screen, scrolling if necessary just enough.

    A View should call this if it maintains some notion of which part of its content is interesting. For example, a text editing view should call this when its cursor moves.

    The Rectangle passed into this method should be in the View's content coordinate space. It should not be affected by which part of the View is currently visible or its scroll position.

    Parameters
    rectangle Rect: The rectangle in the View's content coordinate space
    Returns
    boolean Whether any parent scrolled.

    requestRectangleOnScreen

    Added in API level 1 
    public boolean requestRectangleOnScreen (Rect rectangle, 
                boolean immediate)

    Request that a rectangle of this view be visible on the screen, scrolling if necessary just enough.

    A View should call this if it maintains some notion of which part of its content is interesting. For example, a text editing view should call this when its cursor moves.

    The Rectangle passed into this method should be in the View's content coordinate space. It should not be affected by which part of the View is currently visible or its scroll position.

    When immediate is set to true, scrolling will not be animated.

    Parameters
    rectangle Rect: The rectangle in the View's content coordinate space
    immediate boolean: True to forbid animated scrolling, false otherwise
    Returns
    boolean Whether any parent scrolled.

    requestUnbufferedDispatch

    Added in API level 30 
    public final void requestUnbufferedDispatch (int source)

    Request unbuffered dispatch of the given event source class to this view. This is similar to View.requestUnbufferedDispatch(MotionEvent), but does not automatically terminate, and allows the specification of arbitrary input source classes.

    Prior to Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE, calling this method will not result in any behavioral changes when this View is not attached to a window.

    Parameters
    source int: The combined input source class to request unbuffered dispatch for. All events coming from these source classes will not be buffered. Set to InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_NONE in order to return to default behaviour. Value is either 0 or a combination of InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_NONE, InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_BUTTON, InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER, InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_TRACKBALL, InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_POSITION, and InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK

    requestUnbufferedDispatch

    Added in API level 21 
    public final void requestUnbufferedDispatch (MotionEvent event)

    Request unbuffered dispatch of the given stream of MotionEvents to this View. Until this View receives a corresponding MotionEvent.ACTION_UP, ask that the input system not batch MotionEvents but instead deliver them as soon as they're available. This method should only be called for touch events.

    This API is not intended for most applications. Buffered dispatch provides many of benefits, and just requesting unbuffered dispatch on most MotionEvent streams will not improve your input latency. Side effects include: increased latency, jittery scrolls and inability to take advantage of system resampling. Talk to your input professional to see if requestUnbufferedDispatch(android.view.MotionEvent) is right for you.

    To receive unbuffered events for arbitrary input device source classes, use requestUnbufferedDispatch(int),

    Parameters
    event MotionEvent

    requireViewById

    Added in API level 28 
    public final T requireViewById (int id)

    Finds the first descendant view with the given ID, the view itself if the ID matches getId(), or throws an IllegalArgumentException if the ID is invalid or there is no matching view in the hierarchy.

    Note: In most cases -- depending on compiler support -- the resulting view is automatically cast to the target class type. If the target class type is unconstrained, an explicit cast may be necessary.

    Parameters
    id int: the ID to search for
    Returns
    T a view with given ID This value cannot be null.

    See also:

    resetPivot

    Added in API level 28 
    public void resetPivot ()

    Clears any pivot previously set by a call to setPivotX(float) or setPivotY(float). After calling this isPivotSet() will be false and the pivot used for rotation will return to default of being centered on the view.

    resolveSize

    Added in API level 1 
    public static int resolveSize (int size, 
                int measureSpec)

    Version of resolveSizeAndState(int, int, int) returning only the MEASURED_SIZE_MASK bits of the result.

    Parameters
    size int

    measureSpec int

    Returns
    int

    resolveSizeAndState

    Added in API level 11 
    public static int resolveSizeAndState (int size, 
                int measureSpec, 
                int childMeasuredState)

    Utility to reconcile a desired size and state, with constraints imposed by a MeasureSpec. Will take the desired size, unless a different size is imposed by the constraints. The returned value is a compound integer, with the resolved size in the MEASURED_SIZE_MASK bits and optionally the bit MEASURED_STATE_TOO_SMALL set if the resulting size is smaller than the size the view wants to be.

    Parameters
    size int: How big the view wants to be.
    measureSpec int: Constraints imposed by the parent.
    childMeasuredState int: Size information bit mask for the view's children.
    Returns
    int Size information bit mask as defined by MEASURED_SIZE_MASK and MEASURED_STATE_TOO_SMALL.

    restoreDefaultFocus

    Added in API level 26 
    public boolean restoreDefaultFocus ()

    Gives focus to the default-focus view in the view hierarchy that has this view as a root. If the default-focus view cannot be found, falls back to calling requestFocus(int).

    Returns
    boolean Whether this view or one of its descendants actually took focus

    restoreHierarchyState

    Added in API level 1 
    public void restoreHierarchyState (SparseArray<Parcelable> container)

    Added in API level 29 
    public final void saveAttributeDataForStyleable (Context context, 
                int[] styleable, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                TypedArray t, 
                int defStyleAttr, 
                int defStyleRes)

    Stores debugging information about attributes. This should be called in a constructor by every custom View that uses a custom styleable. If the custom view does not call it, then the custom attributes used by this view will not be visible in layout inspection tools.

    Parameters
    context Context: Context under which this view is created. This value cannot be null.
    styleable int: A reference to styleable array R.styleable.Foo This value cannot be null.
    attrs AttributeSet: AttributeSet used to construct this view. This value may be null.
    t TypedArray: Resolved TypedArray returned by a call to Resources.obtainAttributes(AttributeSet, int[]). This value cannot be null.
    defStyleAttr int: Default style attribute passed into the view constructor.
    defStyleRes int: Default style resource passed into the view constructor.

    saveHierarchyState

    Added in API level 1 
    public void saveHierarchyState (SparseArray<Parcelable> container)

    Store this view hierarchy's frozen state into the given container.

    Parameters
    container SparseArray: The SparseArray in which to save the view's state.

    scheduleDrawable

    Added in API level 1 
    public void scheduleDrawable (Drawable who, 
                Runnable what, 
                long when)

    Schedules an action on a drawable to occur at a specified time.

    Parameters
    who Drawable: the recipient of the action This value cannot be null.
    what Runnable: the action to run on the drawable This value cannot be null.
    when long: the time at which the action must occur. Uses the SystemClock.uptimeMillis timebase.

    scrollBy

    Added in API level 1 
    public void scrollBy (int x, 
                int y)

    Move the scrolled position of your view. This will cause a call to onScrollChanged(int, int, int, int) and the view will be invalidated.

    Parameters
    x int: the amount of pixels to scroll by horizontally
    y int: the amount of pixels to scroll by vertically

    scrollTo

    Added in API level 1 
    public void scrollTo (int x, 
                int y)

    Set the scrolled position of your view. This will cause a call to onScrollChanged(int, int, int, int) and the view will be invalidated.

    Parameters
    x int: the x position to scroll to
    y int: the y position to scroll to

    sendAccessibilityEvent

    Added in API level 4 
    public void sendAccessibilityEvent (int eventType)

    Sends an accessibility event of the given type. If accessibility is not enabled this method has no effect. The default implementation calls onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent) first to populate information about the event source (this View), then calls dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent) to populate the text content of the event source including its descendants, then for events type AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_SCROLLED and AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED with subtype AccessibilityEvent.CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_STATE_DESCRIPTION, throttle the events, and last calls ViewParent.requestSendAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) on its parent to request sending of the event to interested parties.

    If an AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(android.view.View.AccessibilityDelegate) its AccessibilityDelegate.sendAccessibilityEvent(View, int) is responsible for handling this call.

    If this view uses AccessibilityNodeProvider to provide virtual view hierarchy rooted at this view, this method should not be called to send events from virtual children because it will populate the events with wrong information and the events should be throttled per child instead at the virtual root level. To send events from virtual children, call ViewParent.requestSendAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) on the view's parent to request sending of the event to interested parties.

    Parameters
    eventType int: The type of the event to send, as defined by several types from AccessibilityEvent, such as AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_CLICKED or AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_HOVER_ENTER.

    sendAccessibilityEventUnchecked

    Added in API level 4 
    public void sendAccessibilityEventUnchecked (AccessibilityEvent event)

    This method behaves exactly as sendAccessibilityEvent(int) but takes as an argument an empty AccessibilityEvent and does not perform a check whether accessibility is enabled.

    If an AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(android.view.View.AccessibilityDelegate) its AccessibilityDelegate.sendAccessibilityEventUnchecked(View, AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

    Parameters
    event AccessibilityEvent: The event to send.

    setAccessibilityDataSensitive

    Added in API level 34 
    public void setAccessibilityDataSensitive (int accessibilityDataSensitive)

    Specifies whether this view should only allow interactions from AccessibilityServices with the AccessibilityServiceInfo.isAccessibilityTool() property set to true.

    Parameters
    accessibilityDataSensitive int: Value is ACCESSIBILITY_DATA_SENSITIVE_AUTO, ACCESSIBILITY_DATA_SENSITIVE_YES, or ACCESSIBILITY_DATA_SENSITIVE_NO

    setAccessibilityDelegate

    Added in API level 14 
    public void setAccessibilityDelegate (View.AccessibilityDelegate delegate)

    Sets a delegate for implementing accessibility support via composition (as opposed to inheritance). For more details, see AccessibilityDelegate.

    Note: On platform versions prior to API 23, delegate methods on views in the android.widget.* package are called before host methods. This prevents certain properties such as class name from being modified by overriding AccessibilityDelegate.onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo(View, AccessibilityNodeInfo), as any changes will be overwritten by the host class.

    Starting in API 23, delegate methods are called after host methods, which all properties to be modified without being overwritten by the host class.

    Parameters
    delegate View.AccessibilityDelegate: the object to which accessibility method calls should be delegated This value may be null.

    setAccessibilityHeading

    Added in API level 28 
    public void setAccessibilityHeading (boolean isHeading)

    Set if view is a heading for a section of content for accessibility purposes.

    Users of some accessibility services can choose to navigate between headings instead of between paragraphs, words, etc. Apps that provide headings on sections of text can help the text navigation experience.

    Note: Use ViewCompat.setAccessibilityHeading(View, boolean) for backwards-compatibility.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    isHeading boolean: true if the view is a heading, false otherwise.

    setAccessibilityLiveRegion

    Added in API level 19 
    public void setAccessibilityLiveRegion (int mode)

    Sets the live region mode for this view. This indicates to accessibility services whether they should automatically notify the user about changes to the view's content description or text, or to the content descriptions or text of the view's children (where applicable).

    Different priority levels are available:

    • ACCESSIBILITY_LIVE_REGION_POLITE: Indicates that updates to the region should be presented to the user. Suitable in most cases for prominent updates within app content that don't require the user's immediate attention.
    • ACCESSIBILITY_LIVE_REGION_ASSERTIVE: Indicates that updates to the region have the highest priority and should be presented to the user immediately. This may result in disruptive notifications from an accessibility service, which may potentially interrupt other feedback or user actions, so it should generally be used only for critical, time-sensitive information.
    • ACCESSIBILITY_LIVE_REGION_NONE: Disables change announcements (the default for most views).

    Examples:

    • Selecting an option in a dropdown menu updates a panel below with the updated content. This panel may be marked as a live region with ACCESSIBILITY_LIVE_REGION_POLITE to notify users of the change. A screen reader may queue changes as announcements that don't disrupt ongoing speech.
    • An emergency alert may be marked with ACCESSIBILITY_LIVE_REGION_ASSERTIVE to immediately inform users of the emergency.

    For error notifications, like an "incorrect password" warning in a login screen, views should send a AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED AccessibilityEvent with a content change type AccessibilityEvent.CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_ERROR and set AccessibilityNodeInfo.setError(CharSequence). Custom widgets should provide error-setting methods that support accessibility. For example, use TextView.setError(CharSequence) instead of explicitly sending events.

    Don't use live regions for frequently-updating UI elements (e.g., progress bars), as this can overwhelm the user with feedback from accessibility services. If necessary, use AccessibilityNodeInfo.setMinDurationBetweenContentChanges(Duration) to throttle feedback and reduce disruptions.

    Parameters
    mode int: The live region mode for this view, one of:

    setAccessibilityPaneTitle

    Added in API level 28 
    public void setAccessibilityPaneTitle (CharSequence accessibilityPaneTitle)

    Visually distinct portion of a window with window-like semantics are considered panes for accessibility purposes. One example is the content view of a large fragment that is replaced. In order for accessibility services to understand a pane's window-like behavior, panes should have descriptive titles. Views with pane titles produce AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGEDs when they appear, disappear, or change title.

    When transitioning from one Activity to another, instead of using setAccessibilityPaneTitle(), set a descriptive title for its window by using android:label for the matching Activity entry in your application's manifest or updating the title at runtime with Activity.setTitle(CharSequence).

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    accessibilityPaneTitle CharSequence: The pane's title. Setting to null indicates that this View is not a pane.

    setAccessibilityTraversalAfter

    Added in API level 22 
    public void setAccessibilityTraversalAfter (int afterId)

    Sets the id of a view that screen readers are requested to visit before this view.

    For example, if view B should be visited after A, with B.setAccessibilityTraversalAfter(A), then this requests that screen readers visit and traverse view A before visiting view B.

    Note: Views are visited in the order determined by the screen reader. Avoid explicitly manipulating focus order, as this may result in inconsistent user experiences between apps. Instead, use other semantics, such as restructuring the view hierarchy layout, to communicate order.

    Setting this view to be after a view that is not important for accessibility, or if this view is not important for accessibility, means this method will have no effect if the service is not aware of unimportant views.

    To avoid a risk of loops, set clear relationships between views. For example, if focus order should be B -> A, and B.setAccessibilityTraversalBefore(A), then also call A.setAccessibilityTraversalAfter(B).

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    afterId int: The id of a view this one succeeds in accessibility traversal.

    setAccessibilityTraversalBefore

    Added in API level 22 
    public void setAccessibilityTraversalBefore (int beforeId)

    Sets the id of a view that screen readers are requested to visit after this view.

    For example, if view B should be visited before view A, with B.setAccessibilityTraversalBefore(A), this requests that screen readers visit and traverse view B before visiting view A.

    Note: Views are visited in the order determined by the screen reader. Avoid explicitly manipulating focus order, as this may result in inconsistent user experiences between apps. Instead, use other semantics, such as restructuring the view hierarchy layout, to communicate order.

    Setting this view to be after a view that is not important for accessibility, or if this view is not important for accessibility, means this method will have no effect if the service is not aware of unimportant views.

    To avoid a risk of loops, set clear relationships between views. For example, if focus order should be B -> A, and B.setAccessibilityTraversalBefore(A), then also call A.setAccessibilityTraversalAfter(B).

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    beforeId int: The id of a view this one precedes in accessibility traversal.

    setActivated

    Added in API level 11 
    public void setActivated (boolean activated)

    Changes the activated state of this view. A view can be activated or not. Note that activation is not the same as selection. Selection is a transient property, representing the view (hierarchy) the user is currently interacting with. Activation is a longer-term state that the user can move views in and out of. For example, in a list view with single or multiple selection enabled, the views in the current selection set are activated. (Um, yeah, we are deeply sorry about the terminology here.) The activated state is propagated down to children of the view it is set on.

    Parameters
    activated boolean: true if the view must be activated, false otherwise

    setAllowClickWhenDisabled

    Added in API level 31 
    public void setAllowClickWhenDisabled (boolean clickableWhenDisabled)

    Enables or disables click events for this view when disabled.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    clickableWhenDisabled boolean: true to make the view clickable, false otherwise

    setAllowedHandwritingDelegatePackage

    Added in API level 34 
    public void setAllowedHandwritingDelegatePackage (String allowedPackageName)

    Specifies that this view may act as a handwriting initiation delegator for a delegate editor view from the specified package. If this method is not called, delegators may only be used to initiate handwriting mode for a delegate editor view from the same package as the delegator view. This method allows specifying a different trusted package which may contain a delegate editor view linked to this delegator view.

    This method has no effect unless setHandwritingDelegatorCallback(Runnable) is also called to configure this view to act as a handwriting delegator.

    If this method is called on the delegator view, then setAllowedHandwritingDelegatorPackage(String) should also be called on the delegate editor view.

    For example, to configure a delegator view in package 1: 

     delegatorView.setHandwritingDelegatorCallback(callback);
 delegatorView.setAllowedHandwritingDelegatePackage(package2);
     Then to configure the corresponding delegate editor view in package 2: 
     delegateEditorView.setIsHandwritingDelegate(true);
 delegateEditorView.setAllowedHandwritingDelegatorPackage(package1);

    Parameters
    allowedPackageName String: the package name of a delegate editor view linked to this delegator view, or null to restore the default behavior of only allowing delegate editor views from the same package as this delegator view

    setAllowedHandwritingDelegatorPackage

    Added in API level 34 
    public void setAllowedHandwritingDelegatorPackage (String allowedPackageName)

    Specifies that a view from the specified package may act as a handwriting delegator for this delegate editor view. If this method is not called, only views from the same package as this delegate editor view may act as a handwriting delegator. This method allows specifying a different trusted package which may contain a delegator view linked to this delegate editor view.

    This method has no effect unless setIsHandwritingDelegate(boolean) is also called to configure this view to act as a handwriting delegate.

    If this method is called on the delegate editor view, then setAllowedHandwritingDelegatePackage(String) should also be called on the delegator view.

    Parameters
    allowedPackageName String: the package name of a delegator view linked to this delegate editor view, or null to restore the default behavior of only allowing delegator views from the same package as this delegate editor view

    setAlpha

    Added in API level 11 
    public void setAlpha (float alpha)

    Sets the opacity of the view to a value from 0 to 1, where 0 means the view is completely transparent and 1 means the view is completely opaque.

    Note: setting alpha to a translucent value (0 < alpha < 1) can have significant performance implications, especially for large views. It is best to use the alpha property sparingly and transiently, as in the case of fading animations.

    For a view with a frequently changing alpha, such as during a fading animation, it is strongly recommended for performance reasons to either override hasOverlappingRendering() to return false if appropriate, or setting a layer type on the view for the duration of the animation. On versions Build.VERSION_CODES.M and below, the default path for rendering an unlayered View with alpha could add multiple milliseconds of rendering cost, even for simple or small views. Starting with Build.VERSION_CODES.M, LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE is automatically applied to the view at the rendering level.

    If this view overrides onSetAlpha(int) to return true, then this view is responsible for applying the opacity itself.

    On versions Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1 and below, note that if the view is backed by a layer and is associated with a layer paint, setting an alpha value less than 1.0 will supersede the alpha of the layer paint.

    Starting with Build.VERSION_CODES.M, setting a translucent alpha value will clip a View to its bounds, unless the View returns false from hasOverlappingRendering().

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    alpha float: The opacity of the view. Value is between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive

    setAnimation

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setAnimation (Animation animation)

    Sets the next animation to play for this view. If you want the animation to play immediately, use startAnimation(android.view.animation.Animation) instead. This method provides allows fine-grained control over the start time and invalidation, but you must make sure that 1) the animation has a start time set, and 2) the view's parent (which controls animations on its children) will be invalidated when the animation is supposed to start.

    Parameters
    animation Animation: The next animation, or null.

    setAnimationMatrix

    Added in API level 29 
    public void setAnimationMatrix (Matrix matrix)

    Changes the transformation matrix on the view. This is used in animation frameworks, such as Transition. When the animation finishes, the matrix should be cleared by calling this method with null as the matrix parameter. Application developers should use transformation methods like setRotation(float), setScaleX(float), setScaleX(float), setTranslationX(float)} and setTranslationY(float) (float)}} instead.

    Parameters
    matrix Matrix: The matrix, null indicates that the matrix should be cleared.

    setAutoHandwritingEnabled

    Added in API level 33 
    public void setAutoHandwritingEnabled (boolean enabled)

    Set whether this view enables automatic handwriting initiation. For a view with an active InputConnection, if auto handwriting is enabled then stylus movement within its view boundary will automatically trigger the handwriting mode. Check InputMethodManager.startStylusHandwriting(View) for more details about handwriting mode. If the View wants to initiate handwriting mode by itself, it can set this field to false and call InputMethodManager.startStylusHandwriting(View) when there is stylus movement detected. Note that this attribute has no effect on the View's children. For example, if a ViewGroup disables auto handwriting but its children set auto handwriting to true, auto handwriting will still work for the children, and vice versa.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    enabled boolean: whether auto handwriting initiation is enabled for this view.

    setAutofillHints

    Added in API level 26 
    public void setAutofillHints (String... autofillHints)

    Sets the hints that help an AutofillService determine how to autofill the view with the user's data.

    Typically, there is only one way to autofill a view, but there could be more than one. For example, if the application accepts either an username or email address to identify an user.

    These hints are not validated by the Android System, but passed "as is" to the service. Hence, they can have any value, but it's recommended to use the AUTOFILL_HINT_ constants such as: AUTOFILL_HINT_USERNAME, AUTOFILL_HINT_PASSWORD, AUTOFILL_HINT_EMAIL_ADDRESS, AUTOFILL_HINT_NAME, AUTOFILL_HINT_PHONE, AUTOFILL_HINT_POSTAL_ADDRESS, AUTOFILL_HINT_POSTAL_CODE, AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER, AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_SECURITY_CODE, AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_DATE, AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_DAY, AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_MONTH or AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_YEAR.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    autofillHints String: The autofill hints to set. If the array is emtpy, null is set.

    setAutofillId

    Added in API level 28 
    public void setAutofillId (AutofillId id)

    Sets the unique, logical identifier of this view in the activity, for autofill purposes.

    The autofill id is created on demand, and this method should only be called when a view is reused after dispatchProvideAutofillStructure(android.view.ViewStructure, int) is called, as that method creates a snapshot of the view that is passed along to the autofill service.

    This method is typically used when view subtrees are recycled to represent different content* —in this case, the autofill id can be saved before the view content is swapped out, and restored later when it's swapped back in. For example: 

     EditText reusableView = ...;
 ViewGroup parentView = ...;
 AutofillManager afm = ...;

 // Swap out the view and change its contents
 AutofillId oldId = reusableView.getAutofillId();
 CharSequence oldText = reusableView.getText();
 parentView.removeView(reusableView);
 AutofillId newId = afm.getNextAutofillId();
 reusableView.setText("New I am");
 reusableView.setAutofillId(newId);
 parentView.addView(reusableView);

 // Later, swap the old content back in
 parentView.removeView(reusableView);
 reusableView.setAutofillId(oldId);
 reusableView.setText(oldText);
 parentView.addView(reusableView);

    NOTE: If this view is a descendant of an AdapterView, the system may reset its autofill id when this view is recycled. If the autofill ids need to be stable, they should be set again in Adapter.getView(int, android.view.View, android.view.ViewGroup).

    Parameters
    id AutofillId: an autofill ID that is unique in the Activity hosting the view, or null to reset it. Usually it's an id previously allocated to another view (and obtained through getAutofillId()), or a new value obtained through AutofillManager.getNextAutofillId().
    Throws
    IllegalStateException if the view is already attached to a window.
    IllegalArgumentException if the id is an autofill id associated with a virtual view.

    setBackground

    Added in API level 16 
    public void setBackground (Drawable background)

    Set the background to a given Drawable, or remove the background. If the background has padding, this View's padding is set to the background's padding. However, when a background is removed, this View's padding isn't touched. If setting the padding is desired, please use setPadding(int, int, int, int).

    Parameters
    background Drawable: The Drawable to use as the background, or null to remove the background

    setBackgroundColor

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setBackgroundColor (int color)

    Sets the background color for this view.

    Parameters
    color int: the color of the background

    setBackgroundDrawable

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 16 
    public void setBackgroundDrawable (Drawable background)

    This method was deprecated in API level 16.
    use setBackground(android.graphics.drawable.Drawable) instead

    Parameters
    background Drawable

    setBackgroundResource

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setBackgroundResource (int resid)

    Set the background to a given resource. The resource should refer to a Drawable object or 0 to remove the background.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    resid int: The identifier of the resource.

    setBackgroundTintBlendMode

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

    Specifies the blending mode used to apply the tint specified by setBackgroundTintList(android.content.res.ColorStateList)} to the background drawable. The default mode is BlendMode.SRC_IN.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    blendMode BlendMode: the blending mode used to apply the tint, may be null to clear tint

    setBackgroundTintList

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

    Applies a tint to the background drawable. Does not modify the current tint mode, which is BlendMode.SRC_IN by default.

    Subsequent calls to setBackground(android.graphics.drawable.Drawable) will automatically mutate the drawable and apply the specified tint and tint mode using Drawable.setTintList(ColorStateList).

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    tint ColorStateList: the tint to apply, may be null to clear tint

    setBackgroundTintMode

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

    Specifies the blending mode used to apply the tint specified by setBackgroundTintList(android.content.res.ColorStateList)} to the background drawable. The default mode is PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    tintMode PorterDuff.Mode: the blending mode used to apply the tint, may be null to clear tint

    setBottom

    Added in API level 11 
    public final void setBottom (int bottom)

    Sets the bottom position of this view relative to its parent. This method is meant to be called by the layout system and should not generally be called otherwise, because the property may be changed at any time by the layout.

    Parameters
    bottom int: The bottom of this view, in pixels.

    setCameraDistance

    Added in API level 12 
    public void setCameraDistance (float distance)

    Sets the distance along the Z axis (orthogonal to the X/Y plane on which views are drawn) from the camera to this view. The camera's distance affects 3D transformations, for instance rotations around the X and Y axis. If the rotationX or rotationY properties are changed and this view is large (more than half the size of the screen), it is recommended to always use a camera distance that's greater than the height (X axis rotation) or the width (Y axis rotation) of this view.

    The distance of the camera from the view plane can have an affect on the perspective distortion of the view when it is rotated around the x or y axis. For example, a large distance will result in a large viewing angle, and there will not be much perspective distortion of the view as it rotates. A short distance may cause much more perspective distortion upon rotation, and can also result in some drawing artifacts if the rotated view ends up partially behind the camera (which is why the recommendation is to use a distance at least as far as the size of the view, if the view is to be rotated.)

    The distance is expressed in "depth pixels." The default distance depends on the screen density. For instance, on a medium density display, the default distance is 1280. On a high density display, the default distance is 1920.

    If you want to specify a distance that leads to visually consistent results across various densities, use the following formula:

     float scale = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
 view.setCameraDistance(distance * scale);

    The density scale factor of a high density display is 1.5, and 1920 = 1280 * 1.5.

    Parameters
    distance float: The distance in "depth pixels", if negative the opposite value is used

    setClickable

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setClickable (boolean clickable)

    Enables or disables click events for this view. When a view is clickable it will change its state to "pressed" on every click. Subclasses should set the view clickable to visually react to user's clicks.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    clickable boolean: true to make the view clickable, false otherwise

    See also:

    setClipBounds

    Added in API level 18 
    public void setClipBounds (Rect clipBounds)

    Sets a rectangular area on this view to which the view will be clipped when it is drawn. Setting the value to null will remove the clip bounds and the view will draw normally, using its full bounds.

    Parameters
    clipBounds Rect: The rectangular area, in the local coordinates of this view, to which future drawing operations will be clipped.

    setClipToOutline

    Added in API level 21 
    public void setClipToOutline (boolean clipToOutline)

    Sets whether the View's Outline should be used to clip the contents of the View.

    Only a single non-rectangular clip can be applied on a View at any time. Circular clips from a circular reveal animation take priority over Outline clipping, and child Outline clipping takes priority over Outline clipping done by a parent.

    Note that this flag will only be respected if the View's Outline returns true from Outline.canClip().

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    clipToOutline boolean

    setContentCaptureSession

    Added in API level 29 
    public void setContentCaptureSession (ContentCaptureSession contentCaptureSession)

    Sets the (optional) ContentCaptureSession associated with this view.

    This method should be called when you need to associate a ContentCaptureContext to the content capture events associated with this view or its view hierarchy (if it's a ViewGroup).

    For example, if your activity is associated with a web domain, first you would need to set the context for the main DOM: 

       ContentCaptureSession mainSession = rootView.getContentCaptureSession();
   mainSession.setContentCaptureContext(ContentCaptureContext.forLocusId(Uri.parse(myUrl));

    Then if the page had an IFRAME, you would create a new session for it: 

       ContentCaptureSession iframeSession = mainSession.createContentCaptureSession(
       ContentCaptureContext.forLocusId(Uri.parse(iframeUrl)));
   iframeView.setContentCaptureSession(iframeSession);

    Parameters
    contentCaptureSession ContentCaptureSession: a session created by ContentCaptureSession.createContentCaptureSession( android.view.contentcapture.ContentCaptureContext). This value may be null.

    setContentDescription

    Added in API level 4 
    public void setContentDescription (CharSequence contentDescription)

    Sets the View's content description.

    A content description briefly describes the view and is primarily used for accessibility support to determine how a view should be presented to the user. In the case of a view with no textual representation, such as ImageButton, a useful content description explains what the view does. For example, an image button with a phone icon that is used to place a call may use "Call" as its content description. An image of a floppy disk that is used to save a file may use "Save".

    This should omit role or state. Role refers to the kind of user-interface element the View is, such as a Button or Checkbox. State refers to a frequently changing property of the View, such as an On/Off state of a button or the audio level of a volume slider.

    Content description updates are not frequent, and are used when the semantic content - not the state - of the element changes. For example, a Play button might change to a Pause button during music playback.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    contentDescription CharSequence: The content description.

    setContentSensitivity

    Added in API level 35 
    public final void setContentSensitivity (int mode)

    Sets content sensitivity mode to determine whether this view displays sensitive content (e.g. username, password etc.). The system will improve user privacy i.e. hide content drawn by a sensitive view from screen sharing and recording.

    The window hosting a sensitive view will be marked as secure during an active media projection session. This would be equivalent to applying WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE to the window.

    Parameters
    mode int: CONTENT_SENSITIVITY_AUTO, CONTENT_SENSITIVITY_NOT_SENSITIVE or CONTENT_SENSITIVITY_SENSITIVE Value is CONTENT_SENSITIVITY_AUTO, CONTENT_SENSITIVITY_SENSITIVE, or CONTENT_SENSITIVITY_NOT_SENSITIVE

    setContextClickable

    Added in API level 23 
    public void setContextClickable (boolean contextClickable)

    Enables or disables context clicking for this view. This event can launch the listener.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    contextClickable boolean: true to make the view react to a context click, false otherwise

    setDefaultFocusHighlightEnabled

    Added in API level 26 
    public void setDefaultFocusHighlightEnabled (boolean defaultFocusHighlightEnabled)

    Sets whether this View should use a default focus highlight when it gets focused but doesn't have R.attr.state_focused defined in its background.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    defaultFocusHighlightEnabled boolean: true to set this view to use a default focus highlight, false otherwise.

    setDrawingCacheBackgroundColor

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 28 
    public void setDrawingCacheBackgroundColor (int color)

    This method was deprecated in API level 28.
    The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

    Setting a solid background color for the drawing cache's bitmaps will improve performance and memory usage. Note, though that this should only be used if this view will always be drawn on top of a solid color.

    Parameters
    color int: The background color to use for the drawing cache's bitmap

    setDrawingCacheEnabled

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 28

For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

    Enables or disables the drawing cache. When the drawing cache is enabled, the next call to getDrawingCache() or buildDrawingCache() will draw the view in a bitmap. Calling draw(android.graphics.Canvas) will not draw from the cache when the cache is enabled. To benefit from the cache, you must request the drawing cache by calling getDrawingCache() and draw it on screen if the returned bitmap is not null.

    Enabling the drawing cache is similar to setting a layer when hardware acceleration is turned off. When hardware acceleration is turned on, enabling the drawing cache has no effect on rendering because the system uses a different mechanism for acceleration which ignores the flag. If you want to use a Bitmap for the view, even when hardware acceleration is enabled, see setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) for information on how to enable software and hardware layers.

    This API can be used to manually generate a bitmap copy of this view, by setting the flag to true and calling getDrawingCache().

    Parameters
    enabled boolean: true to enable the drawing cache, false otherwise

    setDuplicateParentStateEnabled

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setDuplicateParentStateEnabled (boolean enabled)

    Enables or disables the duplication of the parent's state into this view. When duplication is enabled, this view gets its drawable state from its parent rather than from its own internal properties.

    Note: in the current implementation, setting this property to true after the view was added to a ViewGroup might have no effect at all. This property should always be used from XML or set to true before adding this view to a ViewGroup.

    Note: if this view's parent addStateFromChildren property is enabled and this property is enabled, an exception will be thrown.

    Note: if the child view uses and updates additional states which are unknown to the parent, these states should not be affected by this method.

    Parameters
    enabled boolean: True to enable duplication of the parent's drawable state, false to disable it.

    setElevation

    Added in API level 21 
    public void setElevation (float elevation)

    Parameters
    enabled boolean: True if this view is enabled, false otherwise.

    setFadingEdgeLength

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setFadingEdgeLength (int length)

    Set the size of the faded edge used to indicate that more content in this view is available. Will not change whether the fading edge is enabled; use setVerticalFadingEdgeEnabled(boolean) or setHorizontalFadingEdgeEnabled(boolean) to enable the fading edge for the vertical or horizontal fading edges.

    Parameters
    length int: The size in pixels of the faded edge used to indicate that more content in this view is visible.

    setFilterTouchesWhenObscured

    Added in API level 9 
    public void setFilterTouchesWhenObscured (boolean enabled)

    Sets whether the framework should discard touches when the view's window is obscured by another visible window at the touched location. Refer to the View security documentation for more details.

    enabled boolean: True if touch filtering should be enabled.

    setFitsSystemWindows

    Added in API level 14 
    public void setFitsSystemWindows (boolean fitSystemWindows)

    Sets whether or not this view should account for system screen decorations such as the status bar and inset its content; that is, controlling whether the default implementation of fitSystemWindows(android.graphics.Rect) will be executed. See that method for more details.

    Note that if you are providing your own implementation of fitSystemWindows(android.graphics.Rect), then there is no need to set this flag to true -- your implementation will be overriding the default implementation that checks this flag.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    fitSystemWindows boolean: If true, then the default implementation of fitSystemWindows(android.graphics.Rect) will be executed.

    setFocusable

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setFocusable (boolean focusable)

    Set whether this view can receive the focus.

    Setting this to false will also ensure that this view is not focusable in touch mode.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    focusable boolean: If true, this view can receive the focus.

    setFocusable

    Added in API level 26 
    public void setFocusable (int focusable)

    Sets whether this view can receive focus.

    Setting this to FOCUSABLE_AUTO tells the framework to determine focusability automatically based on the view's interactivity. This is the default.

    Setting this to NOT_FOCUSABLE will ensure that this view is also not focusable in touch mode.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    focusable int: One of NOT_FOCUSABLE, FOCUSABLE, or FOCUSABLE_AUTO. Value is NOT_FOCUSABLE, FOCUSABLE, or FOCUSABLE_AUTO

    setFocusableInTouchMode

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setFocusableInTouchMode (boolean focusableInTouchMode)

    Set whether this view can receive focus while in touch mode. Setting this to true will also ensure that this view is focusable.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    focusableInTouchMode boolean: If true, this view can receive the focus while in touch mode.

    setFocusedByDefault

    Added in API level 26 
    public void setFocusedByDefault (boolean isFocusedByDefault)

    Sets whether this View should receive focus when the focus is restored for the view hierarchy containing this view.

    Focus gets restored for a view hierarchy when the root of the hierarchy gets added to a window or serves as a target of cluster navigation.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    isFocusedByDefault boolean: true to set this view as the default-focus view, false otherwise.

    setForceDarkAllowed

    Added in API level 29 
    public void setForceDarkAllowed (boolean allow)

    Sets whether or not to allow force dark to apply to this view. Setting this to false will disable the auto-dark feature on everything this view draws, including any descendants. Setting this to true will allow this view to be automatically made dark, however a value of 'true' will not override any 'false' value in its parent chain nor will it prevent any 'false' in any of its children. The default behavior of force dark is also influenced by the Theme's isLightTheme attribute. If a theme is isLightTheme="false", then force dark is globally disabled for that theme.

    Parameters
    allow boolean: Whether or not to allow force dark.

    setForeground

    setFrameContentVelocity

    Added in API level 35 
    public void setFrameContentVelocity (float pixelsPerSecond)

    Set the current velocity of the View, we only track positive value. We will use the velocity information to adjust the frame rate when applicable. For example, we could potentially lower the frame rate when the velocity of a fling gesture becomes slower. Note that this is only valid till the next drawn frame.

    Parameters
    pixelsPerSecond float: how many pixels move per second.

    setHandwritingBoundsOffsets

    Added in API level 34 
    public void setHandwritingBoundsOffsets (float offsetLeft, 
                float offsetTop, 
                float offsetRight, 
                float offsetBottom)

    Set the amount of offset applied to this view's stylus handwriting bounds. A positive offset will offset the edge outwards.The base handwriting bounds of a view is its visible bounds. The handwriting bounds offsets are applied to the base handwriting bounds to determine the final handwriting bounds.

    This method is mainly used to enlarge the view's handwriting bounds for a better user experience.

    Note that when the view is clipped (e.g. the view is in a ScrollView), the offsets are applied after the view's handwriting bounds is clipped.

    Parameters
    offsetLeft float: the amount of pixel offset applied to the left edge outwards of the view's handwriting bounds.
    offsetTop float: the amount of pixel offset applied to the top edge outwards of the view's handwriting bounds.
    offsetRight float: the amount of pixel offset applied to the right edge outwards of the view's handwriting bounds.
    offsetBottom float: the amount of pixel offset applied to the bottom edge outwards of the view's handwriting bounds.

    setHandwritingDelegateFlags

    Added in API level 35 
    public void setHandwritingDelegateFlags (int flags)

    Sets flags configuring the handwriting delegation behavior for this delegate editor view.

    This method has no effect unless setIsHandwritingDelegate(boolean) is also called to configure this view to act as a handwriting delegate.

    Parameters
    flags int: InputMethodManager.HANDWRITING_DELEGATE_FLAG_HOME_DELEGATOR_ALLOWED or 0 Value is either 0 or InputMethodManager.HANDWRITING_DELEGATE_FLAG_HOME_DELEGATOR_ALLOWED

    setHandwritingDelegatorCallback

    Added in API level 34 
    public void setHandwritingDelegatorCallback (Runnable callback)

    Sets a callback which should be called when a stylus MotionEvent occurs within this view's bounds. The callback will be called from the UI thread.

    Setting a callback allows this view to act as a handwriting delegator, so that handwriting mode for a delegate editor view can be initiated by stylus movement on this delegator view. The callback implementation is expected to show and focus the delegate editor view. If a view which returns true for isHandwritingDelegate() creates an input connection while the same stylus MotionEvent sequence is ongoing, handwriting mode will be initiated for that view.

    A common use case is a custom view which looks like a text editor but does not actually support text editing itself, and clicking on the custom view causes an EditText to be shown. To support handwriting initiation in this case, this method can be called on the custom view to configure it as a delegator. The EditText should call setIsHandwritingDelegate(boolean) to set it as a delegate. The callback implementation is typically the same as the click listener implementation which shows the EditText.

    If null is passed, this view will no longer act as a handwriting initiation delegator.

    Parameters
    callback Runnable: a callback which should be called when a stylus MotionEvent occurs within this view's bounds This value may be null.

    setHapticFeedbackEnabled

    Added in API level 3 
    public void setHapticFeedbackEnabled (boolean hapticFeedbackEnabled)

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    hapticFeedbackEnabled boolean: whether haptic feedback enabled for this view.

    setHasTransientState

    Added in API level 16 
    public void setHasTransientState (boolean hasTransientState)

    Set whether this view is currently tracking transient state that the framework should attempt to preserve when possible. This flag is reference counted, so every call to setHasTransientState(true) should be paired with a later call to setHasTransientState(false).

    A view with transient state cannot be trivially rebound from an external data source, such as an adapter binding item views in a list. This may be because the view is performing an animation, tracking user selection of content, or similar.

    Parameters
    hasTransientState boolean: true if this view has transient state

    setHovered

    Added in API level 14 
    public void setHovered (boolean hovered)

    Sets whether the view is currently hovered.

    Calling this method also changes the drawable state of the view. This enables the view to react to hover by using different drawable resources to change its appearance.

    The onHoverChanged(boolean) method is called when the hovered state changes.

    Parameters
    hovered boolean: True if the view is hovered.

    setId

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setId (int id)

    setImportantForAutofill

    Added in API level 26 
    public void setImportantForAutofill (int mode)

    Sets the mode for determining whether this view is considered important for autofill.

    The platform determines the importance for autofill automatically but you can use this method to customize the behavior. For example:

    1. When the view contents is irrelevant for autofill (for example, a text field used in a "Captcha" challenge), it should be IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO.
    2. When both the view and its children are irrelevant for autofill (for example, the root view of an activity containing a spreadhseet editor), it should be IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS.
    3. When the view content is relevant for autofill but its children aren't (for example, a credit card expiration date represented by a custom view that overrides the proper autofill methods and has 2 children representing the month and year), it should be IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_YES_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS.

    Note: Setting the mode as IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO or IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS does not guarantee the view (and its children) will not be used for autofill purpose; for example, when the user explicitly makes an autofill request, all views are included in the ViewStructure, and starting in Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE the system uses other factors along with importance to determine the autofill behavior. See isImportantForAutofill() for more details about how the View's importance for autofill is used.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    mode int: IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_AUTO, IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_YES, IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO, IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_YES_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS, or IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS.

    Updates the Paint object used with the current layer (used only if the current layer type is not set to LAYER_TYPE_NONE). Changed properties of the Paint provided to setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) will be used the next time the View is redrawn, but setLayerPaint(android.graphics.Paint) must be called to ensure that the view gets redrawn immediately.

    A layer is associated with an optional Paint instance that controls how the layer is composed on screen. The following properties of the paint are taken into account when composing the layer:

    If this view has an alpha value set to < 1.0 by calling setAlpha(float), the alpha value of the layer's paint is superseded by this view's alpha value.

    setLayoutDirection

    Added in API level 17 
    public void setLayoutDirection (int layoutDirection)

    Set the layout direction for this view. This will propagate a reset of layout direction resolution to the view's children and resolve layout direction for this view.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    layoutDirection int: the layout direction to set. Should be one of: LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR, LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL, LAYOUT_DIRECTION_INHERIT, LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LOCALE. Resolution will be done if the value is set to LAYOUT_DIRECTION_INHERIT. The resolution proceeds up the parent chain of the view to get the value. If there is no parent, then it will return the default LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR. Value is LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR, LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL, LAYOUT_DIRECTION_INHERIT, or LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LOCALE

    setLayoutParams

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setLayoutParams (ViewGroup.LayoutParams params)

    setOnReceiveContentListener

    Added in API level 31 
    public void setOnReceiveContentListener (String[] mimeTypes, 
                OnReceiveContentListener listener)

    Sets the listener to be used to handle insertion of content into this view.

    Depending on the type of view, this listener may be invoked for different scenarios. For example, for an editable TextView, this listener will be invoked for the following scenarios:

    1. Paste from the clipboard (e.g. "Paste" or "Paste as plain text" action in the insertion/selection menu)
    2. Content insertion from the keyboard (from InputConnection.commitContent)
    3. Drag and drop (drop events from onDragEvent(DragEvent))
    4. Autofill
    5. Selection replacement via Intent.ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT

    When setting a listener, clients must also declare the accepted MIME types. The listener will still be invoked even if the MIME type of the content is not one of the declared MIME types (e.g. if the user pastes content whose type is not one of the declared MIME types). In that case, the listener may reject the content (defer to the default platform behavior) or execute some other fallback logic (e.g. show an appropriate message to the user). The declared MIME types serve as a hint to allow different features to optionally alter their behavior. For example, a soft keyboard may optionally choose to hide its UI for inserting GIFs for a particular input field if the MIME types set here for that field don't include "image/gif" or "image/*".

    Note: MIME type matching in the Android framework is case-sensitive, unlike formal RFC MIME types. As a result, you should always write your MIME types with lowercase letters, or use Intent.normalizeMimeType(String) to ensure that it is converted to lowercase.

    Parameters
    mimeTypes String: The MIME types accepted by the given listener. These may use patterns such as "image/*", but may not start with a wildcard. This argument must not be null or empty if a non-null listener is passed in.
    listener OnReceiveContentListener: The listener to use. This can be null to reset to the default behavior.

    setOnScrollChangeListener

    Added in API level 23 
    public void setOnScrollChangeListener (View.OnScrollChangeListener l)

    Register a callback to be invoked when the scroll X or Y positions of this view change.

    Note: Some views handle scrolling independently from View and may have their own separate listeners for scroll-type events. For example, ListView allows clients to register an AbsListView.OnScrollListener to listen for changes in list scroll position.

    Parameters
    l View.OnScrollChangeListener: The listener to notify when the scroll X or Y position changes.

    setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener

    Added in API level 11
    Deprecated in API level 30 
    public void setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener (View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener l)

    This method was deprecated in API level 30.
    Use WindowInsets.isVisible(int) to find out about system bar visibilities by setting a OnApplyWindowInsetsListener on this view.

    Set a listener to receive callbacks when the visibility of the system bar changes.

    Parameters
    l View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener: The OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener to receive callbacks.

    setOnTouchListener

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setOnTouchListener (View.OnTouchListener l)

    setOutlineAmbientShadowColor

    Added in API level 28 
    public void setOutlineAmbientShadowColor (int color)

    Sets the color of the ambient shadow that is drawn when the view has a positive Z or elevation value.

    By default the shadow color is black. Generally, this color will be opaque so the intensity of the shadow is consistent between different views with different colors.

    The opacity of the final ambient shadow is a function of the shadow caster height, the alpha channel of the outlineAmbientShadowColor (typically opaque), and the R.attr.ambientShadowAlpha theme attribute.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    color int: The color this View will cast for its elevation shadow.

    setOutlineProvider

    Added in API level 21 
    public void setOutlineProvider (ViewOutlineProvider provider)

    Sets the ViewOutlineProvider of the view, which generates the Outline that defines the shape of the shadow it casts, and enables outline clipping.

    The default ViewOutlineProvider, ViewOutlineProvider.BACKGROUND, queries the Outline from the View's background drawable, via Drawable.getOutline(Outline). Changing the outline provider with this method allows this behavior to be overridden.

    If the ViewOutlineProvider is null, if querying it for an outline returns false, or if the produced Outline is Outline.isEmpty(), shadows will not be cast.

    Only outlines that return true from Outline.canClip() may be used for clipping.

    Parameters
    provider ViewOutlineProvider

    setOutlineSpotShadowColor

    Added in API level 28 
    public void setOutlineSpotShadowColor (int color)

    Sets the color of the spot shadow that is drawn when the view has a positive Z or elevation value.

    By default the shadow color is black. Generally, this color will be opaque so the intensity of the shadow is consistent between different views with different colors.

    The opacity of the final spot shadow is a function of the shadow caster height, the alpha channel of the outlineSpotShadowColor (typically opaque), and the R.attr.spotShadowAlpha theme attribute.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    color int: The color this View will cast for its elevation spot shadow.

    setOverScrollMode

    Added in API level 9 
    public void setOverScrollMode (int overScrollMode)

    Set the over-scroll mode for this view. Valid over-scroll modes are OVER_SCROLL_ALWAYS, OVER_SCROLL_IF_CONTENT_SCROLLS (allow over-scrolling only if the view content is larger than the container), or OVER_SCROLL_NEVER. Setting the over-scroll mode of a view will have an effect only if the view is capable of scrolling.

    Parameters
    overScrollMode int: The new over-scroll mode for this view.

    setPadding

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setPadding (int left, 
                int top, 
                int right, 
                int bottom)

    Sets the padding. The view may add on the space required to display the scrollbars, depending on the style and visibility of the scrollbars. So the values returned from getPaddingLeft(), getPaddingTop(), getPaddingRight() and getPaddingBottom() may be different from the values set in this call.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    left int: the left padding in pixels
    top int: the top padding in pixels
    right int: the right padding in pixels
    bottom int: the bottom padding in pixels

                int end, 
                int bottom)

    Sets the relative padding. The view may add on the space required to display the scrollbars, depending on the style and visibility of the scrollbars. So the values returned from getPaddingStart(), getPaddingTop(), getPaddingEnd() and getPaddingBottom() may be different from the values set in this call.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    start int: the start padding in pixels
    top int: the top padding in pixels

    setPendingCredentialRequest

    Added in API level 35 
    public void setPendingCredentialRequest (GetCredentialRequest request, 
                OutcomeReceiver<GetCredentialResponse, GetCredentialException> callback)

    Sets a CredentialManager request to retrieve credentials, when the user focuses on this given view. When this view is focused, the given request will be fired to CredentialManager, which will fetch content from all CredentialProviderService services on the device, and then display credential options to the user on a relevant UI (dropdown, keyboard suggestions etc.). When the user selects a credential, the final GetCredentialResponse will be propagated to the given callback. Developers are expected to handle the response programmatically and perform a relevant action, e.g. signing in the user.

    For details on how to build a Credential Manager request, please see GetCredentialRequest.

    This API should be called at any point before the user focuses on the view, e.g. during onCreate of an Activity.

    Parameters
    request GetCredentialRequest: the request to be fired when this view is entered This value cannot be null.
    callback OutcomeReceiver: to be invoked when either a response or an exception needs to be propagated for the given view This value cannot be null.

    setPivotX

    Added in API level 11 
    public void setPivotX (float pivotX)

    Sets the x location of the point around which the view is rotated and scaled. By default, the pivot point is centered on the object. Setting this property disables this behavior and causes the view to use only the explicitly set pivotX and pivotY values.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    pivotX float: The x location of the pivot point.

    setPivotY

    Added in API level 11 
    public void setPivotY (float pivotY)

    Sets the y location of the point around which the view is rotated and scaled. By default, the pivot point is centered on the object. Setting this property disables this behavior and causes the view to use only the explicitly set pivotX and pivotY values.

    Parameters
    pivotY float: The y location of the pivot point.

    setPointerIcon

    Added in API level 24 
    public void setPointerIcon (PointerIcon pointerIcon)

    Set the pointer icon to be used for a mouse pointer in the current view. Passing null will restore the pointer icon to its default value. Note that setting the pointer icon using this method will only set it for events coming from a mouse device (i.e. with source InputDevice.SOURCE_MOUSE). To resolve the pointer icon for other device types like styluses, override onResolvePointerIcon(android.view.MotionEvent, int).

    Parameters
    pointerIcon PointerIcon: A PointerIcon instance which will be shown when the mouse hovers.

    setPreferKeepClear

    Added in API level 33 
    public final void setPreferKeepClear (boolean preferKeepClear)

    Set a preference to keep the bounds of this view clear from floating windows above this view's window. This informs the system that the view is considered a vital area for the user and that ideally it should not be covered. Setting this is only appropriate for UI where the user would likely take action to uncover it.

    The system will try to respect this preference, but when not possible will ignore it.

    Note: This is independent from setPreferKeepClearRects(List). If both are set, both will be taken into account.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    preferKeepClear boolean

    setPreferKeepClearRects

    Added in API level 33 
    public final void setPreferKeepClearRects (List<Rect> rects)

    Set a preference to keep the provided rects clear from floating windows above this view's window. This informs the system that these rects are considered vital areas for the user and that ideally they should not be covered. Setting this is only appropriate for UI where the user would likely take action to uncover it.

    The system will try to respect this preference, but when not possible will ignore it.

    Note: This is independent from setPreferKeepClear(boolean). If both are set, both will be taken into account.

    Parameters
    rects List: A list of rects in this view's local coordinate system This value cannot be null.

    setPressed

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setPressed (boolean pressed)

    Sets the pressed state for this view.

    Parameters
    pressed boolean: Pass true to set the View's internal state to "pressed", or false to reverts the View's internal state from a previously set "pressed" state.

    setRenderEffect

    Added in API level 31 
    public void setRenderEffect (RenderEffect renderEffect)

    Configure the RenderEffect to apply to this View. This will apply a visual effect to the results of the View before it is drawn. For example if RenderEffect.createBlurEffect(float, float, RenderEffect, Shader.TileMode) is provided, the contents will be drawn in a separate layer, then this layer will be blurred when this View is drawn.

    Parameters
    renderEffect RenderEffect: to be applied to the View. Passing null clears the previously configured RenderEffect

    setRequestedFrameRate

    Added in API level 35 
    public void setRequestedFrameRate (float frameRate)

    You can set the preferred frame rate for a View using a positive number or by specifying the preferred frame rate category using constants, including REQUESTED_FRAME_RATE_CATEGORY_NO_PREFERENCE, REQUESTED_FRAME_RATE_CATEGORY_LOW, REQUESTED_FRAME_RATE_CATEGORY_NORMAL, REQUESTED_FRAME_RATE_CATEGORY_HIGH. Keep in mind that the preferred frame rate affects the frame rate for the next frame, so use this method carefully. It's important to note that the preference is valid as long as the View is invalidated. Please also be aware that the requested frame rate will not propagate to child views when this API is used on a ViewGroup.

    Parameters
    frameRate float: the preferred frame rate of the view.

    setRevealOnFocusHint

    Added in API level 25 
    public final void setRevealOnFocusHint (boolean revealOnFocus)

    Sets this view's preference for reveal behavior when it gains focus.

    When set to true, this is a signal to ancestor views in the hierarchy that this view would prefer to be brought fully into view when it gains focus. For example, a text field that a user is meant to type into. Other views such as scrolling containers may prefer to opt-out of this behavior.

    The default value for views is true, though subclasses may change this based on their preferred behavior.

    Parameters
    revealOnFocus boolean: true to request reveal on focus in ancestors, false otherwise

    setRight

    Added in API level 11 
    public final void setRight (int right)

    Sets the right position of this view relative to its parent. This method is meant to be called by the layout system and should not generally be called otherwise, because the property may be changed at any time by the layout.

    Specify the style of the scrollbars. The scrollbars can be overlaid or inset. When inset, they add to the padding of the view. And the scrollbars can be drawn inside the padding area or on the edge of the view. For example, if a view has a background drawable and you want to draw the scrollbars inside the padding specified by the drawable, you can use SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY or SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_INSET. If you want them to appear at the edge of the view, ignoring the padding, then you can use SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY or SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_INSET.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    style int: the style of the scrollbars. Should be one of SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY, SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_INSET, SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY or SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_INSET. Value is SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY, SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_INSET, SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY, or SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_INSET

    isScrollContainer boolean

    setScrollIndicators

    Added in API level 23 
    public void setScrollIndicators (int indicators, 
                int mask)

    Sets the state of the scroll indicators specified by the mask. To change all scroll indicators at once, see setScrollIndicators(int).

    When a scroll indicator is enabled, it will be displayed if the view can scroll in the direction of the indicator.

    Multiple indicator types may be enabled or disabled by passing the logical OR of the desired types. If multiple types are specified, they will all be set to the same enabled state.

    For example, to enable the top scroll indicatorExample: {@code setScrollIndicators

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    indicators int: the indicator direction, or the logical OR of multiple indicator directions. One or more of:

    mask int: Value is either 0 or a combination of SCROLL_INDICATOR_TOP, SCROLL_INDICATOR_BOTTOM, SCROLL_INDICATOR_LEFT, SCROLL_INDICATOR_RIGHT, SCROLL_INDICATOR_START, and SCROLL_INDICATOR_END

    setScrollIndicators

    Added in API level 5 
    public void setScrollbarFadingEnabled (boolean fadeScrollbars)

    Define whether scrollbars will fade when the view is not scrolling.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    fadeScrollbars boolean: whether to enable fading

    setSelected

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setSelected (boolean selected)

    Changes the selection state of this view. A view can be selected or not. Note that selection is not the same as focus. Views are typically selected in the context of an AdapterView like ListView or GridView; the selected view is the view that is highlighted.

    Parameters
    selected boolean: true if the view must be selected, false otherwise

    setSoundEffectsEnabled

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setSoundEffectsEnabled (boolean soundEffectsEnabled)

    You may wish to disable sound effects for a view if you already play sounds, for instance, a dial key that plays dtmf tones.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    soundEffectsEnabled boolean: whether sound effects are enabled for this view.

    setStateDescription

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

    Sets the View's state description.

    A state description briefly describes the states of the view and is primarily used for accessibility support to determine how the states of a view should be presented to the user. It is a supplement to the boolean states (for example, checked/unchecked) and it is used for customized state description (for example, "wifi, connected, three bars"). State description changes frequently while content description should change less often. State description should be localized. For android widgets which have default state descriptions, app developers can call this method to override the state descriptions. Setting state description to null restores the default behavior.

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

    setStateListAnimator

    Added in API level 21 
    public void setStateListAnimator (StateListAnimator stateListAnimator)

    Attaches the provided StateListAnimator to this View.

    Any previously attached StateListAnimator will be detached.

    Parameters
    stateListAnimator StateListAnimator: The StateListAnimator to update the view

    See also:

    setSupplementalDescription

    Added in API level 36 
    public void setSupplementalDescription (CharSequence supplementalDescription)

    Sets the View's supplemental description.

    A supplemental description provides brief supplemental information for this node, such as the purpose of the node when that purpose is not conveyed within its textual representation. For example, if a dropdown select has a purpose of setting font family, the supplemental description could be "font family". If this node has children, its supplemental description serves as additional information and is not intended to replace any existing information in the subtree. This is different from the setContentDescription(java.lang.CharSequence) in that this description is purely supplemental while a content description may be used to replace a description for a node or its subtree that an assistive technology would otherwise compute based on other properties of the node and its descendants.

    This should omit role or state. Role refers to the kind of user-interface element the View is, such as a Button or Checkbox. State refers to a frequently changing property of the View, such as an On/Off state of a button or the audio level of a volume slider.

    Related XML Attributes:

    Parameters
    supplementalDescription CharSequence: The supplemental description. This value may be null.

    setSystemGestureExclusionRects

    Added in API level 29 
    public void setSystemGestureExclusionRects (List<Rect> rects)

    Sets a list of areas within this view's post-layout coordinate space where the system should not intercept touch or other pointing device gestures. This method should be called by onLayout(boolean, int, int, int, int) or onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas).

    Use this to tell the system which specific sub-areas of a view need to receive gesture input in order to function correctly in the presence of global system gestures that may conflict. For example, if the system wishes to capture swipe-in-from-screen-edge gestures to provide system-level navigation functionality, a view such as a navigation drawer container can mark the left (or starting) edge of itself as requiring gesture capture priority using this API. The system may then choose to relax its own gesture recognition to allow the app to consume the user's gesture. It is not necessary for an app to register exclusion rects for broadly spanning regions such as the entirety of a ScrollView or for simple press and release click targets such as Button. Mark an exclusion rect when interacting with a view requires a precision touch gesture in a small area in either the X or Y dimension, such as an edge swipe or dragging a SeekBar thumb.

    Note: the system will put a limit of 200dp on the vertical extent of the exclusions it takes into account. The limit does not apply while the navigation bar is stickily hidden, nor to the input method and home activity.

    Parameters
    rects List: A list of precision gesture regions that this view needs to function correctly This value cannot be null.

    setSystemUiVisibility

    Added in API level 11
    Deprecated in API level 30 
    public void setSystemUiVisibility (int visibility)

    This method was deprecated in API level 30.
    SystemUiVisibility flags are deprecated. Use WindowInsetsController instead.

    Request that the visibility of the status bar or other screen/window decorations be changed.

    This method is used to put the over device UI into temporary modes where the user's attention is focused more on the application content, by dimming or hiding surrounding system affordances. This is typically used in conjunction with Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY, allowing the applications content to be placed behind the action bar (and with these flags other system affordances) so that smooth transitions between hiding and showing them can be done.

    Two representative examples of the use of system UI visibility is implementing a content browsing application (like a magazine reader) and a video playing application.

    The first code shows a typical implementation of a View in a content browsing application. In this implementation, the application goes into a content-oriented mode by hiding the status bar and action bar, and putting the navigation elements into lights out mode. The user can then interact with content while in this mode. Such an application should provide an easy way for the user to toggle out of the mode (such as to check information in the status bar or access notifications). In the implementation here, this is done simply by tapping on the content. 

    public static class Content extends ScrollView
        implements View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener, View.OnClickListener {
    TextView mText;
    TextView mTitleView;
    SeekBar mSeekView;
    boolean mNavVisible;
    int mBaseSystemUiVisibility = SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
            | SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE;

        mText.setText(context.getString(R.string.alert_dialog_two_buttons2ultra_msg));
        mText.setClickable(false);
        mText.setOnClickListener(this);
        mText.setTextIsSelectable(true);
        addView(mText, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

        // state of the content browser that it will interact with.
        mTitleView = title;
        mSeekView = seek;
        setNavVisibility(true);
    }

    @Override public void onSystemUiVisibilityChange(int visibility) {
        // Detect when we go out of low-profile mode, to also go out
        // of full screen.  We only do this when the low profile mode
        // is changing from its last state, and turning off.
        int diff = mLastSystemUiVis ^ visibility;
        mLastSystemUiVis = visibility;
        if ((diff&SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE) != 0
                && (visibility&SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE) == 0) {
            setNavVisibility(true);
        }
    }

    @Override protected void onWindowVisibilityChanged(int visibility) {
        super.onWindowVisibilityChanged(visibility);

        // When we become visible, we show our navigation elements briefly
        // before hiding them.
        setNavVisibility(true);
        getHandler().postDelayed(mNavHider, 2000);
    }

    @Override protected void onScrollChanged(int l, int t, int oldl, int oldt) {
        super.onScrollChanged(l, t, oldl, oldt);

        }
        final boolean changed = newVis == getSystemUiVisibility();

        // Unschedule any pending event to hide navigation if we are
        // changing the visibility, or making the UI visible.
        if (changed || visible) {
            Handler h = getHandler();
            if (h != null) {
                h.removeCallbacks(mNavHider);
            }
        }

        // Set the new desired visibility.
        setSystemUiVisibility(newVis);
        mTitleView.setVisibility(visible ? VISIBLE : INVISIBLE);
        mSeekView.setVisibility(visible ? VISIBLE : INVISIBLE);
    }
}

    This second code sample shows a typical implementation of a View in a video playing application. In this situation, while the video is playing the application would like to go into a complete full-screen mode, to use as much of the display as possible for the video. When in this state the user can not interact with the application; the system intercepts touching on the screen to pop the UI out of full screen mode. See fitSystemWindows(android.graphics.Rect) for a sample layout that goes with this code.

    setTag

    Added in API level 4 
    public void setTag (int key, 
                Object tag)

    Sets a tag associated with this view and a key. A tag can be used to mark a view in its hierarchy and does not have to be unique within the hierarchy. Tags can also be used to store data within a view without resorting to another data structure. The specified key should be an id declared in the resources of the application to ensure it is unique (see the ID resource type). Keys identified as belonging to the Android framework or not associated with any package will cause an IllegalArgumentException to be thrown.

    Parameters
    key int: The key identifying the tag
    tag Object: An Object to tag the view with
    Throws
    IllegalArgumentException If they specified key is not valid

    setTag

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setTag (Object tag)

    setTop

    Added in API level 11 
    public final void setTop (int top)

    Sets the top position of this view relative to its parent. This method is meant to be called by the layout system and should not generally be called otherwise, because the property may be changed at any time by the layout.

    Parameters
    top int: The top of this view, in pixels.

    setTouchDelegate

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setTouchDelegate (TouchDelegate delegate)

    Parameters
    delegate TouchDelegate

    setTransitionAlpha

    Added in API level 29 
    public void setTransitionAlpha (float alpha)

    This property is intended only for use by the Fade transition, which animates it to produce a visual translucency that does not side-effect (or get affected by) the real alpha property. This value is composited with the other alpha value (and the AlphaAnimation value, when that is present) to produce a final visual translucency result, which is what is passed into the DisplayList.

    Parameters
    alpha float

    setTransitionName

    Added in API level 21 
    public final void setTransitionName (String transitionName)

    Sets the name of the View to be used to identify Views in Transitions. Names should be unique in the View hierarchy.

    Parameters
    transitionName String: The name of the View to uniquely identify it for Transitions.

    setTransitionVisibility

    Added in API level 29 
    public void setTransitionVisibility (int visibility)

    Changes the visibility of this View without triggering any other changes. This should only be used by animation frameworks, such as Transition, where visibility changes should not adjust focus or trigger a new layout. Application developers should use setVisibility(int) instead to ensure that the hierarchy is correctly updated.

    Only call this method when a temporary visibility must be applied during an animation and the original visibility value is guaranteed to be reset after the animation completes. Use setVisibility(int) in all other cases.

    Parameters
    visibility int: One of VISIBLE, INVISIBLE, or GONE. Value is VISIBLE, INVISIBLE, or GONE

    setWillNotCacheDrawing

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 28 
    public void setWillNotCacheDrawing (boolean willNotCacheDrawing)

    This method was deprecated in API level 28.
    The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the PixelCopy API is recommended.

    When a View's drawing cache is enabled, drawing is redirected to an offscreen bitmap. Some views, like an ImageView, must be able to bypass this mechanism if they already draw a single bitmap, to avoid unnecessary usage of the memory.

    Parameters
    willNotCacheDrawing boolean: true if this view does not cache its drawing, false otherwise

    setWillNotDraw

    Added in API level 1 
    public void setWillNotDraw (boolean willNotDraw)

    If this view doesn't do any drawing on its own, set this flag to allow further optimizations. By default, this flag is not set on View, but could be set on some View subclasses such as ViewGroup. Typically, if you override onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas) you should clear this flag.

    Parameters
    willNotDraw boolean: whether or not this View draw on its own

    setWindowInsetsAnimationCallback

    Added in API level 30 
    public void setWindowInsetsAnimationCallback (WindowInsetsAnimation.Callback callback)

    The callback's dispatch mode will affect whether animation callbacks are dispatched to the children of this view.

    Parameters
    callback WindowInsetsAnimation.Callback: The callback to set. This value may be null.

    setX

    Added in API level 11

    startDrag

    Added in API level 11
    Deprecated in API level 24 
    public final boolean startDrag (ClipData data, 
                View.DragShadowBuilder shadowBuilder, 
                Object myLocalState, 
                int flags)

    This method was deprecated in API level 24.
    Use startDragAndDrop() for newer platform versions.

    Parameters
    data ClipData

    shadowBuilder View.DragShadowBuilder

    myLocalState Object

    flags int

    Returns
    boolean

    startDragAndDrop

    Added in API level 24 
    public final boolean startDragAndDrop (ClipData data, 
                View.DragShadowBuilder shadowBuilder, 
                Object myLocalState, 
                int flags)

    Starts a drag and drop operation. When your application calls this method, it passes a View.DragShadowBuilder object to the system. The system calls this object's DragShadowBuilder.onProvideShadowMetrics(Point, Point) to get metrics for the drag shadow, and then calls the object's DragShadowBuilder.onDrawShadow(Canvas) to draw the drag shadow itself.

    Once the system has the drag shadow, it begins the drag and drop operation by sending drag events to all the View objects in your application that are currently visible. It does this either by calling the View object's drag listener (an implementation of onDrag() or by calling the View object's onDragEvent() method. Both are passed a DragEvent object that has a DragEvent.getAction() value of DragEvent.ACTION_DRAG_STARTED.

    Your application can invoke startDragAndDrop() on any attached View object. The View object does not need to be the one used in View.DragShadowBuilder, nor does it need to be related to the View the user selected for dragging.

    Parameters
    data ClipData: A ClipData object pointing to the data to be transferred by the drag and drop operation.
    shadowBuilder View.DragShadowBuilder: A View.DragShadowBuilder object for building the drag shadow.
    myLocalState Object: An Object containing local data about the drag and drop operation. When dispatching drag events to views in the same activity this object will be available through DragEvent.getLocalState(). Views in other activities will not have access to this data (DragEvent.getLocalState() will return null).

    myLocalState is a lightweight mechanism for the sending information from the dragged View to the target Views. For example, it can contain flags that differentiate between a a copy operation and a move operation.

    flags int: Flags that control the drag and drop operation. This can be set to 0 for no flags, or any combination of the following:

    Returns
    boolean true if the method completes successfully, or false if it fails anywhere. Returning false means the system was unable to do a drag because of another ongoing operation or some other reasons.

    startNestedScroll

    Added in API level 21 
    public boolean startNestedScroll (int axes)

    Begin a nestable scroll operation along the given axes.

    A view starting a nested scroll promises to abide by the following contract:

    The view will call startNestedScroll upon initiating a scroll operation. In the case of a touch scroll this corresponds to the initial MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN. In the case of touch scrolling the nested scroll will be terminated automatically in the same manner as ViewParent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean). In the event of programmatic scrolling the caller must explicitly call stopNestedScroll() to indicate the end of the nested scroll.

    If startNestedScroll returns true, a cooperative parent was found. If it returns false the caller may ignore the rest of this contract until the next scroll. Calling startNestedScroll while a nested scroll is already in progress will return true.

    At each incremental step of the scroll the caller should invoke dispatchNestedPreScroll once it has calculated the requested scrolling delta. If it returns true the nested scrolling parent at least partially consumed the scroll and the caller should adjust the amount it scrolls by.

    After applying the remainder of the scroll delta the caller should invoke dispatchNestedScroll, passing both the delta consumed and the delta unconsumed. A nested scrolling parent may treat these values differently. See ViewParent.onNestedScroll(View, int, int, int, int).

    Parameters
    axes int: Flags consisting of a combination of SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL and/or SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL.
    Returns
    boolean true if a cooperative parent was found and nested scrolling has been enabled for the current gesture.

    stopNestedScroll

    Added in API level 21 
    public void stopNestedScroll ()

    Stop a nested scroll in progress.

    Calling this method when a nested scroll is not currently in progress is harmless.

    Protected methods

    awakenScrollBars

    Added in API level 5 
    protected boolean awakenScrollBars (int startDelay, 
                boolean invalidate)

    Trigger the scrollbars to draw. When invoked this method starts an animation to fade the scrollbars out after a fixed delay. If a subclass provides animated scrolling, the start delay should equal the duration of the scrolling animation.

    The animation starts only if at least one of the scrollbars is enabled, as specified by isHorizontalScrollBarEnabled() and isVerticalScrollBarEnabled(). When the animation is started, this method returns true, and false otherwise. If the animation is started, this method calls invalidate() if the invalidate parameter is set to true; in that case the caller should not call invalidate().

    This method should be invoked every time a subclass directly updates the scroll parameters.

    Parameters
    startDelay int: the delay, in milliseconds, after which the animation should start; when the delay is 0, the animation starts immediately
    invalidate boolean: Whether this method should call invalidate
    Returns
    boolean true if the animation is played, false otherwise

    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.

    fitSystemWindows

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 20 
    protected boolean fitSystemWindows (Rect insets)

    This method was deprecated in API level 20.
    As of API 20 use dispatchApplyWindowInsets(android.view.WindowInsets) to apply insets to views. Views should override onApplyWindowInsets(android.view.WindowInsets) or use setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(android.view.View.OnApplyWindowInsetsListener) to implement handling their own insets.

    Called by the view hierarchy when the content insets for a window have changed, to allow it to adjust its content to fit within those windows. The content insets tell you the space that the status bar, input method, and other system windows infringe on the application's window.

    You do not normally need to deal with this function, since the default window decoration given to applications takes care of applying it to the content of the window. If you use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN or SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION this will not be the case, and your content can be placed under those system elements. You can then use this method within your view hierarchy if you have parts of your UI which you would like to ensure are not being covered.

    The default implementation of this method simply applies the content insets to the view's padding, consuming that content (modifying the insets to be 0), and returning true. This behavior is off by default, but can be enabled through setFitsSystemWindows(boolean).

    This function's traversal down the hierarchy is depth-first. The same content insets object is propagated down the hierarchy, so any changes made to it will be seen by all following views (including potentially ones above in the hierarchy since this is a depth-first traversal). The first view that returns true will abort the entire traversal.

    The default implementation works well for a situation where it is used with a container that covers the entire window, allowing it to apply the appropriate insets to its content on all edges. If you need a more complicated layout (such as two different views fitting system windows, one on the top of the window, and one on the bottom), you can override the method and handle the insets however you would like. Note that the insets provided by the framework are always relative to the far edges of the window, not accounting for the location of the called view within that window. (In fact when this method is called you do not yet know where the layout will place the view, as it is done before layout happens.)

    Note: unlike many View methods, there is no dispatch phase to this call. If you are overriding it in a ViewGroup and want to allow the call to continue to your children, you must be sure to call the super implementation.

    Here is a sample layout that makes use of fitting system windows to have controls for a video view placed inside of the window decorations that it hides and shows. This can be used with code like the second sample (video player) shown in setSystemUiVisibility(int).

    isPaddingOffsetRequired

    Added in API level 2 
    protected boolean isPaddingOffsetRequired ()

    If the View draws content inside its padding and enables fading edges, it needs to support padding offsets. Padding offsets are added to the fading edges to extend the length of the fade so that it covers pixels drawn inside the padding. Subclasses of this class should override this method if they need to draw content inside the padding.

    Returns
    boolean True if padding offset must be applied, false otherwise.

    mergeDrawableStates

    Added in API level 1 
    protected static int[] mergeDrawableStates (int[] baseState, 
                int[] additionalState)

    Merge your own state values in additionalState into the base state values baseState that were returned by onCreateDrawableState(int).

    Parameters

    This is called when the view is attached to a window. At this point it has a Surface and will start drawing. Note that this function is guaranteed to be called before onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas), however it may be called any time before the first onDraw -- including before or after onMeasure(int, int).
    If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

    onConfigurationChanged

    Added in API level 8 
    protected void onConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

    Called when the current configuration of the resources being used by the application have changed. You can use this to decide when to reload resources that can changed based on orientation and other configuration characteristics. You only need to use this if you are not relying on the normal Activity mechanism of recreating the activity instance upon a configuration change.

    Parameters
    newConfig Configuration: The new resource configuration.

    onCreateContextMenu

    Added in API level 1 
    protected void onCreateContextMenu (ContextMenu menu)

    Views should implement this if the view itself is going to add items to the context menu.

    menu ContextMenu: the context menu to populate

    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.

    onDetachedFromWindow

    Added in API level 1 
    protected void onDetachedFromWindow ()

    This is called when the view is detached from a window. At this point it no longer has a surface for drawing.
    If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

    onDisplayHint

    Added in API level 8 
    protected void onDisplayHint (int hint)

    Gives this view a hint about whether is displayed or not. For instance, when a View moves out of the screen, it might receives a display hint indicating the view is not displayed. Applications should not rely on this hint as there is no guarantee that they will receive one.

    Parameters
    hint int: A hint about whether or not this view is displayed: VISIBLE or INVISIBLE. Value is VISIBLE, INVISIBLE, or GONE

    onDraw

    Added in API level 1 
    protected void onDraw (Canvas canvas)

    Implement this to do your drawing.

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

    onDrawScrollBars

    Added in API level 7 
    protected final void onDrawScrollBars (Canvas canvas)

    Request the drawing of the horizontal and the vertical scrollbar. The scrollbars are painted only if they have been awakened first.

    Parameters
    canvas Canvas: the canvas on which to draw the scrollbars This value cannot be null.

    onFinishInflate

    Added in API level 1 
    protected void onFinishInflate ()

    Finalize inflating a view from XML. This is called as the last phase of inflation, after all child views have been added.

    Even if the subclass overrides onFinishInflate, they should always be sure to call the super method, so that we get called.
    If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

    onFocusChanged

    Added in API level 1 
    protected void onFocusChanged (boolean gainFocus, 
                int direction, 
                Rect previouslyFocusedRect)

    Called by the view system when the focus state of this view changes. When the focus change event is caused by directional navigation, direction and previouslyFocusedRect provide insight into where the focus is coming from. When overriding, be sure to call up through to the super class so that the standard focus handling will occur.
    If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

    Parameters
    gainFocus boolean: True if the View has focus; false otherwise.
    direction int: The direction focus has moved when requestFocus() is called to give this view focus. Values are FOCUS_UP, FOCUS_DOWN, FOCUS_LEFT, FOCUS_RIGHT, FOCUS_FORWARD, or FOCUS_BACKWARD. It may not always apply, in which case use the default. Value is FOCUS_BACKWARD, FOCUS_FORWARD, FOCUS_LEFT, FOCUS_UP, FOCUS_RIGHT, or FOCUS_DOWN
    previouslyFocusedRect Rect: The rectangle, in this view's coordinate system, of the previously focused view. If applicable, this will be passed in as finer grained information about where the focus is coming from (in addition to direction). Will be null otherwise.

    onLayout

    Added in API level 1 
    protected void onLayout (boolean changed, 
                int left, 
                int top, 
                int right, 
                int bottom)

    Called from layout when this view should assign a size and position to each of its children. Derived classes with children should override this method and call layout on each of their children.

    Parameters
    changed boolean: This is a new size or position for this view
    left int: Left position, relative to parent
    top int: Top position, relative to parent
    right int: Right position, relative to parent
    bottom int: Bottom position, relative to parent

    onMeasure

    Added in API level 1 
    protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, 
                int heightMeasureSpec)

    Measure the view and its content to determine the measured width and the measured height. This method is invoked by measure(int, int) and should be overridden by subclasses to provide accurate and efficient measurement of their contents.

    CONTRACT: When overriding this method, you must call setMeasuredDimension(int, int) to store the measured width and height of this view. Failure to do so will trigger an IllegalStateException, thrown by measure(int, int). Calling the superclass' onMeasure(int, int) is a valid use.

    The base class implementation of measure defaults to the background size, unless a larger size is allowed by the MeasureSpec. Subclasses should override onMeasure(int, int) to provide better measurements of their content.

    If this method is overridden, it is the subclass's responsibility to make sure the measured height and width are at least the view's minimum height and width (getSuggestedMinimumHeight() and getSuggestedMinimumWidth()).

    Parameters
    widthMeasureSpec int: horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.
    heightMeasureSpec int: vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.

    onOverScrolled

    Added in API level 9 
    protected void onOverScrolled (int scrollX, 
                int scrollY, 
                boolean clampedX, 
                boolean clampedY)

    Called by overScrollBy(int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, boolean) to respond to the results of an over-scroll operation.

    Parameters
    scrollX int: New X scroll value in pixels
    scrollY int: New Y scroll value in pixels
    clampedX boolean: True if scrollX was clamped to an over-scroll boundary
    clampedY boolean: True if scrollY was clamped to an over-scroll boundary

    onRestoreInstanceState

    Added in API level 1 
    protected 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 
    protected 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.

    onScrollChanged

    Added in API level 1 
    protected void onScrollChanged (int l, 
                int t, 
                int oldl, 
                int oldt)

    This is called in response to an internal scroll in this view (i.e., the view scrolled its own contents). This is typically as a result of scrollBy(int, int) or scrollTo(int, int) having been called.

    Parameters
    l int: Current horizontal scroll origin.
    t int: Current vertical scroll origin.
    oldl int: Previous horizontal scroll origin.
    oldt int: Previous vertical scroll origin.

    onSetAlpha

    Added in API level 1 
    protected boolean onSetAlpha (int alpha)

    Invoked if there is a Transform that involves alpha. Subclass that can draw themselves with the specified alpha should return true, and then respect that alpha when their onDraw() is called. If this returns false then the view may be redirected to draw into an offscreen buffer to fulfill the request, which will look fine, but may be slower than if the subclass handles it internally. The default implementation returns false.

    Parameters
    alpha int: The alpha (0..255) to apply to the view's drawing
    Returns
    boolean true if the view can draw with the specified alpha.

    onSizeChanged

    Added in API level 1 
    protected void onSizeChanged (int w, 
                int h, 
                int oldw, 
                int oldh)

    This is called during layout when the size of this view has changed. If you were just added to the view hierarchy, you're called with the old values of 0.

    Parameters
    w int: Current width of this view.
    h int: Current height of this view.
    oldw int: Old width of this view.
    oldh int: Old height of this view.

    onVisibilityChanged

    Added in API level 8 
    protected void onVisibilityChanged (View changedView, 
                int visibility)

    Called when the visibility of the view or an ancestor of the view has changed.

    Parameters
    changedView View: The view whose visibility changed. May be this or an ancestor view. This value cannot be null.
    visibility int: The new visibility, one of VISIBLE, INVISIBLE or GONE. Value is VISIBLE, INVISIBLE, or GONE

    onWindowVisibilityChanged

    Added in API level 1 
    protected void onWindowVisibilityChanged (int visibility)

    Called when the window containing has change its visibility (between GONE, INVISIBLE, and VISIBLE). Note that this tells you whether or not your window is being made visible to the window manager; this does not tell you whether or not your window is obscured by other windows on the screen, even if it is itself visible.

    Parameters
    visibility int: The new visibility of the window. Value is VISIBLE, INVISIBLE, or GONE

    overScrollBy

    Added in API level 9 
    protected boolean overScrollBy (int deltaX,

                int maxOverScrollY, 
                boolean isTouchEvent)

    Scroll the view with standard behavior for scrolling beyond the normal content boundaries. Views that call this method should override onOverScrolled(int, int, boolean, boolean) to respond to the results of an over-scroll operation. Views can use this method to handle any touch or fling-based scrolling.

    Parameters
    deltaX int: Change in X in pixels
    deltaY int: Change in Y in pixels
    scrollX int: Current X scroll value in pixels before applying deltaX
    scrollY int: Current Y scroll value in pixels before applying deltaY

    maxOverScrollX int: Number of pixels to overscroll by in either direction along the X axis.
    maxOverScrollY int: Number of pixels to overscroll by in either direction along the Y axis.
    isTouchEvent boolean: true if this scroll operation is the result of a touch event.
    Returns
    boolean true if scrolling was clamped to an over-scroll boundary along either axis, false otherwise.

    setMeasuredDimension

    Added in API level 1 
    protected final void setMeasuredDimension (int measuredWidth, 
                int measuredHeight)

    This method must be called by onMeasure(int, int) to store the measured width and measured height. Failing to do so will trigger an exception at measurement time.

    Parameters
    measuredWidth int: The measured width of this view. May be a complex bit mask as defined by MEASURED_SIZE_MASK and MEASURED_STATE_TOO_SMALL.
    measuredHeight int: The measured height of this view. May be a complex bit mask as defined by MEASURED_SIZE_MASK and MEASURED_STATE_TOO_SMALL.

    verifyDrawable

    Added in API level 1 
    protected boolean verifyDrawable (Drawable who)

    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: The Drawable to verify. Return true if it is one you are displaying, else return the result of calling through to the super class. 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.
