A `ViewGroup` is a special view that can contain other views (called children.) The view group is the base class for layouts and views containers. This class also defines the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams` class which serves as the base class for layouts parameters. Also see `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams` for layout attributes. ### Developer Guides For more information about creating user interface layouts, read the [XML Layouts](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout) developer guide.

Deprecated: The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. May be a boolean value, such as "`true`" or "`false`".
### android:animateLayoutChanges Defines whether changes in layout (caused by adding and removing items) should cause a LayoutTransition to run. When this flag is set to true, a default LayoutTransition object will be set on the ViewGroup container and default animations will run when these layout changes occur. May be a boolean value, such as "`true`" or "`false`".
**Related methods:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setLayoutTransition(android.animation.LayoutTransition)` ### android:animationCache Defines whether layout animations should create a drawing cache for their children. Enabling the animation cache consumes more memory and requires a longer initialization but provides better performance. The animation cache is enabled by default. May be a boolean value, such as "`true`" or "`false`".
### android:clipChildren Defines whether a child is limited to draw inside of its bounds or not. This is useful with animations that scale the size of the children to more than 100% for instance. In such a case, this property should be set to false to allow the children to draw outside of their bounds. The default value of this property is true. May be a boolean value, such as "`true`" or "`false`".
**Related methods:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setClipChildren(boolean)` ### android:clipToPadding Defines whether the ViewGroup will clip its children and resize (but not clip) any EdgeEffect to its padding, if padding is not zero. This property is set to true by default. May be a boolean value, such as "`true`" or "`false`".
**Related methods:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setClipToPadding(boolean)` ### android:descendantFocusability Defines the relationship between the ViewGroup and its descendants when looking for a View to take focus. Must be one of the following constant values. | Constant | Value | Description | |---|---|---| | afterDescendants | 1 | The ViewGroup will get focus only if none of its descendants want it. | | beforeDescendants | 0 | The ViewGroup will get focus before any of its descendants. | | blocksDescendants | 2 | The ViewGroup will block its descendants from receiving focus. |

### android:layoutAnimation Defines the layout animation to use the first time the ViewGroup is laid out. Layout animations can also be started manually after the first layout. May be a reference to another resource, in the form "`@[+][*package*:]*type*/*name*`" or a theme attribute in the form "`?[*package*:]*type*/*name*`".
### android:layoutMode Defines the layout mode of this ViewGroup. Must be one of the following constant values. | Constant | Value | Description | |---|---|---| | clipBounds | 0 | Use the children's clip bounds when laying out this container. | | opticalBounds | 1 | Use the children's optical bounds when laying out this container. |

**Related methods:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setLayoutMode(int)` ### android:persistentDrawingCache Defines the persistence of the drawing cache. The drawing cache might be enabled by a ViewGroup for all its children in specific situations (for instance during a scrolling.) This property lets you persist the cache in memory after its initial usage. Persisting the cache consumes more memory but may prevent frequent garbage collection if the cache is created over and over again. By default the persistence is set to scrolling. Deprecated: The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. Must be one or more (separated by '\|') of the following constant values. | Constant | Value | Description | |---|---|---| | all | 3 | The drawing cache is always persisted. | | animation | 1 | The drawing cache is persisted after a layout animation. | | none | 0 | The drawing cache is not persisted after use. | | scrolling | 2 | The drawing cache is persisted after a scroll. |

### android:splitMotionEvents Sets whether this ViewGroup should split MotionEvents to separate child views during touch event dispatch. If false (default prior to HONEYCOMB), touch events will be dispatched to the child view where the first pointer went down until the last pointer goes up. If true (default for HONEYCOMB and later), touch events may be dispatched to multiple children. MotionEvents for each pointer will be dispatched to the child view where the initial ACTION_DOWN event happened. See `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setMotionEventSplittingEnabled(boolean)` for more information. May be a boolean value, such as "`true`" or "`false`".

This ordering change may affect layout, if this container uses an order-dependent layout scheme (e.g., LinearLayout). Prior to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#KITKAT` this method should be followed by calls to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewParent#requestLayout()` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#invalidate()` on this parent to force the parent to redraw with the new child ordering.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: The child to bring to the top of the z order

### clearFocus Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void clearFocus () ``` Called when this view wants to give up focus. If focus is cleared `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onFocusChanged(boolean,%20int,%20android.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.

### dispatchApplyWindowInsets Added in [API level 20](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onApplyWindowInsets(android.view.WindowInsets)` method or alternatively provide a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.OnApplyWindowInsetsListener` via the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(android.view.View.OnApplyWindowInsetsListener)` method. This method replaces the older `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#fitSystemWindows(android.graphics.Rect)` method.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `insets` | `WindowInsets`: Insets to apply
| | Returns || |---|---| | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowInsets` | The provided insets minus the insets that were consumed
| ### dispatchCapturedPointerEvent Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void dispatchCreateViewTranslationRequest (Map viewIds, int[] supportedFormats, TranslationCapability capability, List requests) ``` Dispatch to collect the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/translation/ViewTranslationRequest`s 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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup`). Other classes should override `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onCreateViewTranslationRequest(int[],%20java.util.function.Consumer)` for normal view or override `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onVirtualViewTranslationResponses(android.util.LongSparseArray)` 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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/translation/ViewTranslationRequest`s and create a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/translation/Translator` to translate the requests. All the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/translation/ViewTranslationRequest`s must be added when the traversal is done. The default implementation calls `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onCreateViewTranslationRequest(int[],%20java.util.function.Consumer)` for normal view or calls `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onVirtualViewTranslationResponses(android.util.LongSparseArray)` for view contains virtual children to build `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/translation/ViewTranslationRequest` if the view should be translated. The view is marked as having `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setHasTransientState(boolean)` 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. The implementation calls `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#dispatchCreateViewTranslationRequest(java.util.Map,%20int[],%20android.view.translation.TranslationCapability,%20java.util.List)` for all the child views.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `viewIds` | `Map`: This value cannot be `null`.
| | `supportedFormats` | `int`: This value cannot be `null`. Value is one of the following: - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/translation/TranslationSpec#DATA_FORMAT_TEXT` | | `capability` | `TranslationCapability`: This value may be `null`.
| | `requests` | `List`: This value cannot be `null`.
| ### dispatchDisplayHint Added in [API level 8](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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: `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#VISIBLE` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#INVISIBLE`. Value is one of the following: - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#VISIBLE` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#INVISIBLE` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#GONE` | ### dispatchDragEvent Added in [API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/DragEvent` it received. If the drag event listener returns `true`, then dispatchDragEvent() returns `true`. For all other cases, the method calls the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onDragEvent(android.view.DragEvent)` 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](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void dispatchDrawableHotspotChanged (float x, float y) ``` Dispatches drawable hotspot changes to child views that meet at least one of the following criteria: - Returns `false` from both `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#isClickable()` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#isLongClickable()` - Requests duplication of parent state via `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setDuplicateParentStateEnabled(boolean)`

| Parameters || |---|---| | `x` | `float`: hotspot x coordinate
| | `y` | `float`: hotspot y coordinate
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#drawableHotspotChanged(float,%20float)` ### dispatchFinishTemporaryDetach Added in [API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void dispatchFinishTemporaryDetach () ``` Dispatch `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#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.
### dispatchKeyEvent Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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.
| ### dispatchPointerCaptureChanged Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void dispatchPointerCaptureChanged (boolean hasCapture) ```

| Parameters || |---|---| | `hasCapture` | `boolean`
| ### dispatchProvideAutofillStructure Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void dispatchProvideAutofillStructure (ViewStructure structure, int flags) ``` Dispatches creation of a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewStructure`s 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: - Sets the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/autofill/AutofillId` in the structure. - Calls `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onProvideAutofillStructure(android.view.ViewStructure,%20int)`. - Calls `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onProvideAutofillVirtualStructure(android.view.ViewStructure,%20int)`. Typically, this method should only be overridden by subclasses that provide a view hierarchy (such as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup`) - other classes should override `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onProvideAutofillStructure(android.view.ViewStructure,%20int)` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onProvideAutofillVirtualStructure(android.view.ViewStructure,%20int)` instead. When overridden, it must: - Either call `super.dispatchProvideAutofillStructure(structure, flags)` or explicitly set the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/autofill/AutofillId` in the structure (for example, by calling `structure.setAutofillId(getAutofillId())`). - Decide how to handle the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#AUTOFILL_FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS` flag - when set, all views in the structure should be considered important for autofill, regardless of what `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#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. This implementation adds in all child views of the view group, in addition to calling the default `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View` implementation.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `structure` | `ViewStructure`: fill in with structured view data for autofill purposes. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `flags` | `int`: Value is either `0` or - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#AUTOFILL_FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS` | ### dispatchProvideStructure Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void dispatchProvideStructure (ViewStructure structure) ``` Dispatch creation of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewStructure` down the hierarchy.

This method figures out the right MeasureSpec for one dimension (height or width) of one child view. The goal is to combine information from our MeasureSpec with the LayoutParams of the child to get the best possible results. For example, if the this view knows its size (because its MeasureSpec has a mode of EXACTLY), and the child has indicated in its LayoutParams that it wants to be the same size as the parent, the parent should ask the child to layout given an exact size.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `spec` | `int`: The requirements for this view
| | `padding` | `int`: The padding of this view for the current dimension and margins, if applicable
| | `childDimension` | `int`: How big the child wants to be in the current dimension

Returns the clipped visible part of the rectangle `r`, defined in the `child`'s local coordinate system. `r` is modified by this method to contain the result, expressed in the global (root) coordinate system. The resulting rectangle is always axis aligned. If a rotation is applied to a node in the View hierarchy, the result is the axis-aligned bounding box of the visible rectangle.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: A child View, whose rectangular visible region we want to compute
| | `r` | `Rect`: The input rectangle, defined in the child coordinate system. Will be overwritten to contain the resulting visible rectangle, expressed in global (root) coordinates
| | `offset` | `Point`: The input coordinates of a point, defined in the child coordinate system. As with the `r` parameter, this will be overwritten to contain the global (root) coordinates of that point. A `null` value is valid (in case you are not interested in this result)
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if the resulting rectangle is not empty, false otherwise
| ### getClipChildren Added in [API level 18](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean getClipChildren () ``` Returns whether this group's children are clipped to their bounds before drawing. The default value is true.

If no layoutMode was explicitly set, either programmatically or in an XML resource, the method returns the layoutMode of the view's parent ViewGroup if such a parent exists, otherwise the method returns a default value of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS`.
| Returns || |---|---| | `int` | the layout mode to use during layout operations
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setLayoutMode(int)` ### getLayoutTransition Added in [API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public LayoutTransition getLayoutTransition () ``` Gets the LayoutTransition object for this ViewGroup. If the LayoutTransition object is not null, changes in layout which occur because of children being added to or removed from the ViewGroup will be animated according to the animations defined in that LayoutTransition object. By default, the transition object is null (so layout changes are not animated).
| Returns || |---|---| | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/animation/LayoutTransition` | LayoutTranstion The LayoutTransition object that will animated changes in layout. A value of `null` means no transition will run on layout changes.
| ### getNestedScrollAxes Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public int getNestedScrollAxes () ``` Return the current axes of nested scrolling for this ViewGroup. A ViewGroup returning something other than `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#SCROLL_AXIS_NONE` is currently acting as a nested scrolling parent for one or more descendant views in the hierarchy.

| Returns || |---|---| | `int` | Flags indicating the current axes of nested scrolling
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#SCROLL_AXIS_NONE` ### getOverlay Added in [API level 18](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public ViewGroupOverlay getOverlay () ``` Returns the ViewGroupOverlay for this view group, creating it if it does not yet exist. In addition to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewOverlay`'s support for drawables, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroupOverlay` allows views to be added to the overlay. These views, like overlay drawables, are visual-only; they do not receive input events and should not be used as anything other than a temporary representation of a view in a parent container, such as might be used by an animation effect. Note: Overlays do not currently work correctly with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/SurfaceView` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/TextureView`; contents in overlays for these types of views may not display correctly.

| Returns || |---|---| | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroupOverlay` | The ViewGroupOverlay object for this view.
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroupOverlay` ### getPersistentDrawingCache Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Deprecated in [API level 28](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public int getPersistentDrawingCache () ``` **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, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setLayerType(int,%20android.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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Canvas` from either a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Picture` and call `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.Config#HARDWARE` bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/PixelCopy` API is recommended. Returns an integer indicating what types of drawing caches are kept in memory.
| Returns || |---|---| | `int` | one or a combination of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#PERSISTENT_NO_CACHE`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#PERSISTENT_ANIMATION_CACHE`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#PERSISTENT_SCROLLING_CACHE` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#PERSISTENT_ALL_CACHES`
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setPersistentDrawingCache(int)` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setAnimationCacheEnabled(boolean)` ### getTouchscreenBlocksFocus Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean getTouchscreenBlocksFocus () ``` Check whether this ViewGroup should ignore focus requests for itself and its children.

| ### hasFocus Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean hasFocus () ``` Returns true if this view has or contains focus
| Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if this view has or contains focus
| ### hasTransientState Added in [API level 16](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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
| ### indexOfChild Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public int indexOfChild (View child) ``` Returns the position in the group of the specified child view.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: the view for which to get the position
| | Returns || |---|---| | `int` | a positive integer representing the position of the view in the group, or -1 if the view does not exist in the group
| ### invalidateChild Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public final void invalidateChild (View child, Rect dirty) ``` **This method is deprecated.** Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#onDescendantInvalidated(android.view.View,%20android.view.View)` instead to observe updates to draw state in descendants. Don't call or override this method. It is used for the implementation of the view hierarchy.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: The child which is dirty
| | `dirty` | `Rect`: The area within the child that is invalid
| ### invalidateChildInParent Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public ViewParent invalidateChildInParent (int[] location, Rect dirty) ``` **This method is deprecated.** Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#onDescendantInvalidated(android.view.View,%20android.view.View)` instead to observe updates to draw state in descendants. Don't call or override this method. It is used for the implementation of the view hierarchy. This implementation returns null if this ViewGroup does not have a parent, if this ViewGroup is already fully invalidated or if the dirty rectangle does not intersect with this ViewGroup's bounds.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `location` | `int`: An array of 2 ints containing the left and top coordinates of the child to invalidate
| | `dirty` | `Rect`: The area within the child that is invalid
| | Returns || |---|---| | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewParent` | the parent of this ViewParent or null
| ### isAlwaysDrawnWithCacheEnabled Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Deprecated in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean isAlwaysDrawnWithCacheEnabled () ``` **This method was deprecated in API level 23.** As of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#M`, this property is ignored. Child views may no longer have their caching behavior disabled by parents. Indicates whether this ViewGroup will always try to draw its children using their drawing cache. By default this property is enabled.
| Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if the animation cache is enabled, false otherwise
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setAlwaysDrawnWithCacheEnabled(boolean)` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled(boolean)` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setDrawingCacheEnabled(boolean)` ### isAnimationCacheEnabled Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Deprecated in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean isAnimationCacheEnabled () ``` **This method was deprecated in API level 23.** As of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#M`, this property is ignored. Caching behavior of children may be controlled through `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setLayerType(int,%20android.graphics.Paint)`. Indicates whether the children's drawing cache is used during a layout animation. By default, the drawing cache is enabled but this will prevent nested layout animations from working. To nest animations, you must disable the cache.
| Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if the animation cache is enabled, false otherwise
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setAnimationCacheEnabled(boolean)` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setDrawingCacheEnabled(boolean)` ### isLayoutSuppressed Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean isLayoutSuppressed () ``` Returns whether layout calls on this container are currently being suppressed, due to an earlier call to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#suppressLayout(boolean)`.
| Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if layout calls are currently suppressed, false otherwise.
| ### isMotionEventSplittingEnabled Added in [API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean isMotionEventSplittingEnabled () ``` Returns true if MotionEvents dispatched to this ViewGroup can be split to multiple children.
| Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if MotionEvents dispatched to this ViewGroup can be split to multiple children.
| ### isTransitionGroup Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean isTransitionGroup () ``` Returns true if this ViewGroup should be considered as a single entity for removal when executing an Activity transition. If this is false, child elements will move individually during the transition.
| Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | True if the ViewGroup should be acted on together during an Activity transition. The default value is true when there is a non-null background or if `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#getTransitionName()` is not null or if a non-null `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewOutlineProvider` other than `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewOutlineProvider#BACKGROUND` was given to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setOutlineProvider(android.view.ViewOutlineProvider)` and false otherwise.
| ### jumpDrawablesToCurrentState Added in [API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void jumpDrawablesToCurrentState () ``` Call `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/Drawable#jumpToCurrentState()` on all Drawable objects associated with this view. Also calls `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/animation/StateListAnimator#jumpToCurrentState()` if there is a StateListAnimator attached to this view. If you override this method you *must* call through to the superclass implementation.
### layout Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public final 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
| ### notifySubtreeAccessibilityStateChanged Added in [API level 19](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void notifySubtreeAccessibilityStateChanged (View child, View source, int changeType) ``` Notifies a view parent that the accessibility state of one of its descendants has changed and that the structure of the subtree is different.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: The direct child whose subtree has changed. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `source` | `View`: The descendant view that changed. May not be `null`.
| | `changeType` | `int`: A bit mask of the types of changes that occurred. One or more of: - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityEvent#CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_CONTENT_DESCRIPTION` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityEvent#CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_STATE_DESCRIPTION` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityEvent#CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_SUBTREE` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityEvent#CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_TEXT` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityEvent#CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_UNDEFINED` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityEvent#CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_DRAG_STARTED` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityEvent#CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_DRAG_CANCELLED` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityEvent#CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_DRAG_DROPPED`
| ### offsetDescendantRectToMyCoords Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public final void offsetDescendantRectToMyCoords (View descendant, Rect rect) ``` Offset a rectangle that is in a descendant's coordinate space into our coordinate space.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `descendant` | `View`: A descendant of this view
| | `rect` | `Rect`: A rectangle defined in descendant's coordinate space.
| ### offsetRectIntoDescendantCoords Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public final void offsetRectIntoDescendantCoords (View descendant, Rect rect) ``` Offset a rectangle that is in our coordinate space into an ancestor's coordinate space.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `descendant` | `View`: A descendant of this view
| | `rect` | `Rect`: A rectangle defined in descendant's coordinate space.
| ### onDescendantInvalidated Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void onDescendantInvalidated (View child, View target) ``` The target View has been invalidated, or has had a drawing property changed that requires the hierarchy to re-render. This method is called by the View hierarchy to signal ancestors that a View either needs to re-record its drawing commands, or drawing properties have changed. This is how Views schedule a drawing traversal. This signal is generally only dispatched for attached Views, since only they need to draw. If you override this method you *must* call through to the superclass implementation.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: This value cannot be `null`.
| | `target` | `View`: This value cannot be `null`.
| ### onInterceptHoverEvent Added in [API level 14](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean onInterceptHoverEvent (MotionEvent event) ``` Implement this method to intercept hover events before they are handled by child views. This method is called before dispatching a hover event to a child of the view group or to the view group's own `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onHoverEvent(android.view.MotionEvent)` to allow the view group a chance to intercept the hover event. This method can also be used to watch all pointer motions that occur within the bounds of the view group even when the pointer is hovering over a child of the view group rather than over the view group itself. The view group can prevent its children from receiving hover events by implementing this method and returning `true` to indicate that it would like to intercept hover events. The view group must continuously return `true` from `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#onInterceptHoverEvent(android.view.MotionEvent)` for as long as it wishes to continue intercepting hover events from its children. Interception preserves the invariant that at most one view can be hovered at a time by transferring hover focus from the currently hovered child to the view group or vice-versa as needed. If this method returns `true` and a child is already hovered, then the child view will first receive a hover exit event and then the view group itself will receive a hover enter event in `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onHoverEvent(android.view.MotionEvent)`. Likewise, if this method had previously returned `true` to intercept hover events and instead returns `false` while the pointer is hovering within the bounds of one of a child, then the view group will first receive a hover exit event in `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onHoverEvent(android.view.MotionEvent)` and then the hovered child will receive a hover enter event. The default implementation handles mouse hover on the scroll bars.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `event` | `MotionEvent`: The motion event that describes the hover.
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | True if the view group would like to intercept the hover event and prevent its children from receiving it.
| ### onInterceptTouchEvent Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev) ``` Implement this method to intercept all touch screen motion events. This allows you to watch events as they are dispatched to your children, and take ownership of the current gesture at any point. Using this function takes some care, as it has a fairly complicated interaction with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onTouchEvent(android.view.MotionEvent)`, and using it requires implementing that method as well as this one in the correct way. Events will be received in the following order: 1. You will receive the down event here. 2. The down event will be handled either by a child of this view group, or given to your own onTouchEvent() method to handle; this means you should implement onTouchEvent() to return true, so you will continue to see the rest of the gesture (instead of looking for a parent view to handle it). Also, by returning true from onTouchEvent(), you will not receive any following events in onInterceptTouchEvent() and all touch processing must happen in onTouchEvent() like normal. 3. For as long as you return false from this function, each following event (up to and including the final up) will be delivered first here and then to the target's onTouchEvent(). 4. If you return true from here, you will not receive any following events: the target view will receive the same event but with the action `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEvent#ACTION_CANCEL`, and all further events will be delivered to your onTouchEvent() method and no longer appear here.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `ev` | `MotionEvent`: The motion event being dispatched down the hierarchy.
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | Return true to steal motion events from the children and have them dispatched to this ViewGroup through onTouchEvent(). The current target will receive an ACTION_CANCEL event, and no further messages will be delivered here.
| ### onNestedFling Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean onNestedFling (View target, float velocityX, float velocityY, boolean consumed) ``` Request a fling from a nested scroll. This method signifies that a nested scrolling child has detected suitable conditions for a fling. Generally this means that a touch scroll has ended with a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/VelocityTracker` in the direction of scrolling that meets or exceeds the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewConfiguration#getScaledMinimumFlingVelocity()` 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 || |---|---| | `target` | `View`: View that initiated the nested scroll. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `velocityX` | `float`: Horizontal velocity in pixels per second
| | `velocityY` | `float`: Vertical velocity in pixels per second
| | `consumed` | `boolean`: true if the child consumed the fling, false otherwise
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if this parent consumed or otherwise reacted to the fling
| ### onNestedPreFling Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean onNestedPreFling (View target, float velocityX, float velocityY) ``` React to a nested fling before the target view consumes it. This method siginfies that a nested scrolling child has detected a fling with the given velocity along each axis. Generally this means that a touch scroll has ended with a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/VelocityTracker` in the direction of scrolling that meets or exceeds the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewConfiguration#getScaledMinimumFlingVelocity()` along a scrollable axis. If a nested scrolling parent is consuming motion as part of a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewParent#onNestedPreScroll(android.view.View,%20int,%20int,%20int[])`, it may be appropriate for it to also consume the pre-fling to complete that same motion. By returning `true` from this method, the parent indicates that the child should not fling its own internal content as well.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `target` | `View`: View that initiated the nested scroll. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `velocityX` | `float`: Horizontal velocity in pixels per second
| | `velocityY` | `float`: Vertical velocity in pixels per second
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if this parent consumed the fling ahead of the target view
| ### onNestedPrePerformAccessibilityAction Added in [API level 22](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean onNestedPrePerformAccessibilityAction (View target, int action, Bundle args) ``` React to an accessibility action delegated by a target descendant view before the target processes it. This method may be called by a target descendant view if the target wishes to give a view in its parent chain a chance to react to the event before normal processing occurs. Most commonly this will be a scroll event such as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityNodeInfo#ACTION_SCROLL_FORWARD`. A ViewParent that supports acting as a nested scrolling parent should override this method and act accordingly to implement scrolling via accesibility systems. Subclasses should always call `super.onNestedPrePerformAccessibilityAction`

| Parameters || |---|---| | `target` | `View`: The target view dispatching this action
| | `action` | `int`: Action being performed; see `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityNodeInfo`
| | `args` | `Bundle`: Optional action arguments
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | false by default. Subclasses should return true if they handle the event.
| ### onNestedPreScroll Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void onNestedPreScroll (View target, int dx, int dy, int[] consumed) ``` React to a nested scroll in progress before the target view consumes a portion of the scroll. When working with nested scrolling often the parent view may want an opportunity to consume the scroll before the nested scrolling child does. An example of this is a drawer that contains a scrollable list. The user will want to be able to scroll the list fully into view before the list itself begins scrolling. `onNestedPreScroll` is called when a nested scrolling child invokes `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#dispatchNestedPreScroll(int,%20int,%20int[],%20int[])`. The implementation should report how any pixels of the scroll reported by dx, dy were consumed in the `consumed` array. Index 0 corresponds to dx and index 1 corresponds to dy. This parameter will never be null. Initial values for consumed\[0\] and consumed\[1\] will always be 0.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `target` | `View`: View that initiated the nested scroll. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `dx` | `int`: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels
| | `dy` | `int`: Vertical scroll distance in pixels
| | `consumed` | `int`: Output. The horizontal and vertical scroll distance consumed by this parent. This value cannot be `null`.
| ### onNestedScroll Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void onNestedScroll (View target, int dxConsumed, int dyConsumed, int dxUnconsumed, int dyUnconsumed) ``` React to a nested scroll in progress. This method will be called when the ViewParent's current nested scrolling child view dispatches a nested scroll event. To receive calls to this method the ViewParent must have previously returned `true` for a call to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewParent#onStartNestedScroll(android.view.View,%20android.view.View,%20int)`. Both the consumed and unconsumed portions of the scroll distance are reported to the ViewParent. An implementation may choose to use the consumed portion to match or chase scroll position of multiple child elements, for example. The unconsumed portion may be used to allow continuous dragging of multiple scrolling or draggable elements, such as scrolling a list within a vertical drawer where the drawer begins dragging once the edge of inner scrolling content is reached.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `target` | `View`: The descendent view controlling the nested scroll. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `dxConsumed` | `int`: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels already consumed by target
| | `dyConsumed` | `int`: Vertical scroll distance in pixels already consumed by target
| | `dxUnconsumed` | `int`: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by target
| | `dyUnconsumed` | `int`: Vertical scroll distance in pixels not consumed by target
| ### onNestedScrollAccepted Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void onNestedScrollAccepted (View child, View target, int axes) ``` React to the successful claiming of a nested scroll operation. This method will be called after `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewParent#onStartNestedScroll(android.view.View,%20android.view.View,%20int)` returns true. It offers an opportunity for the view and its superclasses to perform initial configuration for the nested scroll. Implementations of this method should always call their superclass's implementation of this method if one is present.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: Direct child of this ViewParent containing target. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `target` | `View`: View that initiated the nested scroll. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `axes` | `int`: Flags consisting of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL` or both
| ### onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent Added in [API level 14](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent (View child, AccessibilityEvent event) ``` Called when a child has requested sending an `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/accessibility/AccessibilityEvent` and gives an opportunity to its parent to augment the event. If an `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.AccessibilityDelegate` has been specified via calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setAccessibilityDelegate(android.view.View.AccessibilityDelegate)` its `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.AccessibilityDelegate#onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent(android.view.ViewGroup,%20android.view.View,%20android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent)` is responsible for handling this call.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: The child which requests sending the event.
| | `event` | `AccessibilityEvent`: The event to be sent.
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | True if the event should be sent.
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#requestSendAccessibilityEvent(android.view.View,%20android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent)` ### onResolvePointerIcon Added in [API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/PointerIcon`. This will be between 0 and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEvent#getPointerCount()`.
| | Returns || |---|---| | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/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.
| ### onStartNestedScroll Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean onStartNestedScroll (View child, View target, int nestedScrollAxes) ``` React to a descendant view initiating a nestable scroll operation, claiming the nested scroll operation if appropriate. This method will be called in response to a descendant view invoking `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#startNestedScroll(int)`. Each parent up the view hierarchy will be given an opportunity to respond and claim the nested scrolling operation by returning `true`. This method may be overridden by ViewParent implementations to indicate when the view is willing to support a nested scrolling operation that is about to begin. If it returns true, this ViewParent will become the target view's nested scrolling parent for the duration of the scroll operation in progress. When the nested scroll is finished this ViewParent will receive a call to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewParent#onStopNestedScroll(android.view.View)`.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: Direct child of this ViewParent containing target. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `target` | `View`: View that initiated the nested scroll. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `nestedScrollAxes` | `int`: Flags consisting of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL` or both
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if this ViewParent accepts the nested scroll operation
| ### onStopNestedScroll Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void onStopNestedScroll (View child) ``` React to a nested scroll operation ending. Perform cleanup after a nested scrolling operation. This method will be called when a nested scroll stops, for example when a nested touch scroll ends with a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEvent#ACTION_UP` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEvent#ACTION_CANCEL` event. Implementations of this method should always call their superclass's implementation of this method if one is present. The default implementation of onStopNestedScroll calls `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#stopNestedScroll()` to halt any recursive nested scrolling in progress.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: View that initiated the nested scroll. This value cannot be `null`.
| ### onViewAdded Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void onViewAdded (View child) ``` Called when a new child is added to this ViewGroup. Overrides should always call super.onViewAdded.

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 ViewGroup or any of its children is invalidated. To undo the frame rate propagation, call the API with REQUESTED_FRAME_RATE_CATEGORY_DEFAULT.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `frameRate` | `float`: the preferred frame rate of the ViewGroup.
| | `forceOverride` | `boolean`: indicate whether it should override the frame rate of all the children with the given frame rate.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `disallowIntercept` | `boolean`: True if the child does not want the parent to intercept touch events.
| ### requestFocus Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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 (`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#isFocusable()` returns false), or if it is focusable and it is not focusable in touch mode (`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getDescendantFocusability()` equal to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS`. See also `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View` has an internal `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View` that it wishes to forward the request to. Looks for a view to give focus to respecting the setting specified by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getDescendantFocusability()`. Uses `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#onRequestFocusInDescendants(int,%20android.graphics.Rect)` to find focus within the children of this group when appropriate.
| 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.

The child has already populated a record for itself in the event and is delegating to its parent to send the event. The parent can optionally add a record for itself. Note: An accessibility event is fired by an individual view which populates the event with a record for its state and requests from its parent to perform the sending. The parent can optionally add a record for itself before dispatching the request to its parent. A parent can also choose not to respect the request for sending the event. The accessibility event is sent by the topmost view in the view tree.

| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: The child which requests sending the event. This value cannot be `null`.
| | `event` | `AccessibilityEvent`: The event to be sent.
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | True if the event was sent.
| ### requestTransparentRegion Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void requestTransparentRegion (View child) ``` Called when a child wants the view hierarchy to gather and report transparent regions to the window compositor. Views that "punch" holes in the view hierarchy, such as SurfaceView can use this API to improve performance of the system. When no such a view is present in the hierarchy, this optimization in unnecessary and might slightly reduce the view hierarchy performance.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: the view requesting the transparent region computation
| ### restoreDefaultFocus Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#requestFocus(int)`.
| Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | Whether this view or one of its descendants actually took focus
| ### scheduleLayoutAnimation Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void scheduleLayoutAnimation () ``` Schedules the layout animation to be played after the next layout pass of this view group.

Child views may no longer have their caching behavior disabled by parents. Indicates whether this ViewGroup will always try to draw its children using their drawing cache. This property can be set to true when the cache rendering is slightly different from the children's normal rendering. Renderings can be different, for instance, when the cache's quality is set to low. When this property is disabled, the ViewGroup will use the drawing cache of its children only when asked to. It's usually the task of subclasses to tell ViewGroup when to start using the drawing cache and when to stop using it.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `always` | `boolean`: true to always draw with the drawing cache, false otherwise
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#isAlwaysDrawnWithCacheEnabled()` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled(boolean)` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setDrawingCacheEnabled(boolean)` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setDrawingCacheQuality(int)` ### setAnimationCacheEnabled Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Deprecated in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setAnimationCacheEnabled (boolean enabled) ``` **This method was deprecated in API level 23.** As of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#M`, this property is ignored. Caching behavior of children may be controlled through `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setLayerType(int,%20android.graphics.Paint)`. Enables or disables the children's drawing cache during a layout animation. By default, the drawing cache is enabled but this will prevent nested layout animations from working. To nest animations, you must disable the cache.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `enabled` | `boolean`: true to enable the animation cache, false otherwise
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#isAnimationCacheEnabled()` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setDrawingCacheEnabled(boolean)` ### setClipChildren Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setClipChildren (boolean clipChildren) ``` By default, children are clipped to their bounds before drawing.

**Related XML Attributes:** - [android:clipChildren](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#attr_android:clipChildren) | Parameters || |---|---| | `clipChildren` | `boolean`: true to clip children to their bounds, false otherwise
| ### setClipToPadding Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setClipToPadding (boolean clipToPadding) ``` Sets whether this ViewGroup will clip its children to its padding and resize (but not clip) any EdgeEffect to the padded region, if padding is present. By default, children are clipped to the padding of their parent ViewGroup. This clipping behavior is only enabled if padding is non-zero.
**Related XML Attributes:** - [android:clipToPadding](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#attr_android:clipToPadding) | Parameters || |---|---| | `clipToPadding` | `boolean`: true to clip children to the padding of the group, and resize (but not clip) any EdgeEffect to the padded region. False otherwise.
| ### setDescendantFocusability Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setDescendantFocusability (int focusability) ``` Set the descendant focusability of this view group. This defines the relationship between this view group and its descendants when looking for a view to take focus in `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#requestFocus(int,%20android.graphics.Rect)`.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `focusability` | `int`: one of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#FOCUS_BEFORE_DESCENDANTS`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#FOCUS_AFTER_DESCENDANTS`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS`.

Only `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/Animation.AnimationListener#onAnimationStart(android.view.animation.Animation)` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/Animation.AnimationListener#onAnimationEnd(android.view.animation.Animation)` are invoked.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `animationListener` | `Animation.AnimationListener`: the layout animation listener
| ### setLayoutMode Added in [API level 18](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setLayoutMode (int layoutMode) ``` Sets the basis of alignment during the layout of this ViewGroup. Valid values are either `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#LAYOUT_MODE_OPTICAL_BOUNDS`.
**Related XML Attributes:** - [android:layoutMode](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#attr_android:layoutMode) | Parameters || |---|---| | `layoutMode` | `int`: the layout mode to use during layout operations
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getLayoutMode()` ### setLayoutTransition Added in [API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setLayoutTransition (LayoutTransition transition) ``` Sets the LayoutTransition object for this ViewGroup. If the LayoutTransition object is not null, changes in layout which occur because of children being added to or removed from the ViewGroup will be animated according to the animations defined in that LayoutTransition object. By default, the transition object is null (so layout changes are not animated). Replacing a non-null transition will cause that previous transition to be canceled, if it is currently running, to restore this container to its correct post-transition state.

**Related XML Attributes:** - [android:animateLayoutChanges](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#attr_android:animateLayoutChanges) | Parameters || |---|---| | `transition` | `LayoutTransition`: The LayoutTransition object that will animated changes in layout.

This behavior is enabled by default for applications that target an SDK version of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#HONEYCOMB` or newer. When this option is enabled MotionEvents may be split and dispatched to different child views depending on where each pointer initially went down. This allows for user interactions such as scrolling two panes of content independently, chording of buttons, and performing independent gestures on different pieces of content.
**Related XML Attributes:** - [android:splitMotionEvents](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#attr_android:splitMotionEvents) | Parameters || |---|---| | `split` | `boolean`: `true` to allow MotionEvents to be split and dispatched to multiple child views. `false` to only allow one child view to be the target of any MotionEvent received by this ViewGroup.
| ### setOnHierarchyChangeListener Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setOnHierarchyChangeListener (ViewGroup.OnHierarchyChangeListener listener) ``` Register a callback to be invoked when a child is added to or removed from this view.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `listener` | `ViewGroup.OnHierarchyChangeListener`: the callback to invoke on hierarchy change
| ### setPersistentDrawingCache Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Deprecated in [API level 28](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setPersistentDrawingCache (int drawingCacheToKeep) ``` **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, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setLayerType(int,%20android.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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Canvas` from either a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Picture` and call `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.Config#HARDWARE` bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/PixelCopy` API is recommended.

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 ViewGroup is invalidated. Please also be aware that the requested frame rate will not propagate to child views.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `frameRate` | `float`: the preferred frame rate of the ViewGroup.
| ### setTouchscreenBlocksFocus Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setTouchscreenBlocksFocus (boolean touchscreenBlocksFocus) ``` Set whether this ViewGroup should ignore focus requests for itself and its children.

| ### startLayoutAnimation Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void startLayoutAnimation () ``` Runs the layout animation. Calling this method triggers a relayout of this view group.
### startViewTransition Added in [API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void startViewTransition (View view) ``` This method tells the ViewGroup that the given View object, which should have this ViewGroup as its parent, should be kept around (re-displayed when the ViewGroup draws its children) even if it is removed from its parent. This allows animations, such as those used by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/animation/LayoutTransition` to animate the removal of views. A call to this method should always be accompanied by a later call to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#endViewTransition(android.view.View)`, such as after an animation on the View has finished, so that the View finally gets removed.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `view` | `View`: The View object to be kept visible even if it gets removed from its parent.

This is useful if in your onLayout() method, you need to add more views (as does the list view for example). If index is negative, it means put it at the end of the list.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: the view to add to the group
| | `index` | `int`: the index at which the child must be added or -1 to add last
| | `params` | `ViewGroup.LayoutParams`: the layout parameters to associate with the child

| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if the child was added, false otherwise
| ### addViewInLayout Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected boolean addViewInLayout (View child, int index, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) ``` Adds a view during layout. This is useful if in your onLayout() method, you need to add more views (as does the list view for example). If index is negative, it means put it at the end of the list.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: the view to add to the group
| | `index` | `int`: the index at which the child must be added or -1 to add last
| | `params` | `ViewGroup.LayoutParams`: the layout parameters to associate with the child

| ### attachViewToParent Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void attachViewToParent (View child, int index, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) ``` Attaches a view to this view group. Attaching a view assigns this group as the parent, sets the layout parameters and puts the view in the list of children so that it can be retrieved by calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getChildAt(int)`. This method is intended to be lightweight and makes no assumptions about whether the parent or child should be redrawn. Proper use of this method will include also making any appropriate `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#requestLayout()` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#invalidate()` calls. For example, callers can `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#post(java.lang.Runnable)` a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Runnable` which performs a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#requestLayout()` on the next frame, after all detach/attach calls are finished, causing layout to be run prior to redrawing the view hierarchy. This method should be called only for views which were detached from their parent.

The default implementation simply returns `false`; subclasses may override this method for different behavior. `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setStaticTransformationsEnabled(boolean)` must be set to true for this method to be called.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: The child view whose static transform is being requested
| | `t` | `Transformation`: The Transformation which will hold the result
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if the transformation was set, false otherwise

| Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if children drawing order is defined by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getChildDrawingOrder(int,%20int)`, false otherwise
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled(boolean)` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getChildDrawingOrder(int,%20int)` ### isChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Deprecated in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected boolean isChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled () ``` **This method was deprecated in API level 23.** As of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#M`, this property is ignored. Child views may no longer be forced to cache their rendering state by their parents. Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setLayerType(int,%20android.graphics.Paint)` on individual Views instead. Indicates whether the ViewGroup is currently drawing its children using their drawing cache.
| Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | true if children should be drawn with their cache, false otherwise

The heavy lifting is done in getChildMeasureSpec.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: The child to measure
| | `parentWidthMeasureSpec` | `int`: The width requirements for this view
| | `parentHeightMeasureSpec` | `int`: The height requirements for this view
| ### measureChildWithMargins Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void measureChildWithMargins (View child, int parentWidthMeasureSpec, int widthUsed, int parentHeightMeasureSpec, int heightUsed) ``` Ask one of the children of this view to measure itself, taking into account both the MeasureSpec requirements for this view and its padding and margins. The child must have MarginLayoutParams The heavy lifting is done in getChildMeasureSpec.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: The child to measure
| | `parentWidthMeasureSpec` | `int`: The width requirements for this view
| | `widthUsed` | `int`: Extra space that has been used up by the parent horizontally (possibly by other children of the parent)

| | `heightUsed` | `int`: Extra space that has been used up by the parent vertically (possibly by other children of the parent)
| ### measureChildren Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void measureChildren (int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) ``` Ask all of the children of this view to measure themselves, taking into account both the MeasureSpec requirements for this view and its padding. We skip children that are in the GONE state The heavy lifting is done in getChildMeasureSpec.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `widthMeasureSpec` | `int`: The width requirements for this view
| | `heightMeasureSpec` | `int`: The height requirements for this view
| ### onAttachedToWindow Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void onAttachedToWindow () ``` 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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas)`, however it may be called any time before the first onDraw -- including before or after `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#onMeasure(int,%20int)`. If you override this method you *must* call through to the superclass implementation.
### onCreateDrawableState Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected int[] onCreateDrawableState (int extraSpace) ``` Generate the new `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/Drawable` state of the view.
| ### onDetachedFromWindow Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` 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.
### onLayout Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected abstract void onLayout (boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) ``` 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
| | `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
| ### onRequestFocusInDescendants Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected boolean onRequestFocusInDescendants (int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) ``` Look for a descendant to call `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#requestFocus()` on. Called by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#requestFocus(int,%20android.graphics.Rect)` when it wants to request focus within its children. Override this to customize how your `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup` requests focus within its children.
| 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 focus was taken.
| ### removeDetachedView Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void removeDetachedView (View child, boolean animate) ``` Finishes the removal of a detached view. This method will dispatch the detached from window event and notify the hierarchy change listener. This method is intended to be lightweight and makes no assumptions about whether the parent or child should be redrawn. Proper use of this method will include also making any appropriate `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#requestLayout()` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#invalidate()` calls. For example, callers can `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#post(java.lang.Runnable)` a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Runnable` which performs a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#requestLayout()` on the next frame, after all detach/remove calls are finished, causing layout to be run prior to redrawing the view hierarchy.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `child` | `View`: the child to be definitely removed from the view hierarchy
| | `animate` | `boolean`: if true and the view has an animation, the view is placed in the disappearing views list, otherwise, it is detached from the window
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#attachViewToParent(android.view.View,%20int,%20android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#detachAllViewsFromParent()` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#detachViewFromParent(android.view.View)` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#detachViewFromParent(int)` ### setChildrenDrawingCacheEnabled Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Deprecated in [API level 28](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void setChildrenDrawingCacheEnabled (boolean enabled) ``` **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, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setLayerType(int,%20android.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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Canvas` from either a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Picture` and call `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.Config#HARDWARE` bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping. For screenshots of the UI for feedback reports or unit testing the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/PixelCopy` API is recommended. Enables or disables the drawing cache for each child of this view group.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `enabled` | `boolean`: true to enable the cache, false to dispose of it
| ### setChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled Added in [API level 7](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void setChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled (boolean enabled) ``` Tells the ViewGroup whether to draw its children in the order defined by the method `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getChildDrawingOrder(int,%20int)`. Note that `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#getZ()` reordering, done by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#dispatchDraw(android.graphics.Canvas)`, will override custom child ordering done via this method.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `enabled` | `boolean`: true if the order of the children when drawing is determined by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getChildDrawingOrder(int,%20int)`, false otherwise
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#isChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled()` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getChildDrawingOrder(int,%20int)` ### setChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Deprecated in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void setChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled (boolean enabled) ``` **This method was deprecated in API level 23.** As of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#M`, this property is ignored. Child views may no longer be forced to cache their rendering state by their parents. Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setLayerType(int,%20android.graphics.Paint)` on individual Views instead. Tells the ViewGroup to draw its children using their drawing cache. This property is ignored when `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#isAlwaysDrawnWithCacheEnabled()` is true. A child's drawing cache will be used only if it has been enabled. Subclasses should call this method to start and stop using the drawing cache when they perform performance sensitive operations, like scrolling or animating.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `enabled` | `boolean`: true if children should be drawn with their cache, false otherwise
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#setAlwaysDrawnWithCacheEnabled(boolean)` - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#isChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled()` ### setStaticTransformationsEnabled Added in [API level 3](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void setStaticTransformationsEnabled (boolean enabled) ``` When this property is set to true, this ViewGroup supports static transformations on children; this causes `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getChildStaticTransformation(android.view.View,%20android.view.animation.Transformation)` to be invoked when a child is drawn. Any subclass overriding `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getChildStaticTransformation(android.view.View,%20android.view.animation.Transformation)` should set this property to true.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `enabled` | `boolean`: True to enable static transformations on children, false otherwise.
| **See also:** - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup#getChildStaticTransformation(android.view.View,%20android.view.animation.Transformation)`
