FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY

Added in API level 11
public static final int FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY

Flag for requesting an Action Bar that overlays window content.

setAttributes

Added in API level 1
public void setAttributes (WindowManager.LayoutParams a)

Specify custom window attributes. PLEASE NOTE: the layout params you give here should generally be from values previously retrieved with getAttributes(); you probably do not want to blindly create and apply your own, since this will blow away any values set by the framework that you are not interested in.

Parameters
a WindowManager.LayoutParams: The new window attributes, which will completely override any current values.

setBackgroundBlurRadius

Added in API level 31
public void setBackgroundBlurRadius (int blurRadius)

Blurs the screen behind the window within the bounds of the window.

The density of the blur is set by the blur radius. The radius defines the size of the neighbouring area, from which pixels will be averaged to form the final color for each pixel. The operation approximates a Gaussian blur. A radius of 0 means no blur. The higher the radius, the denser the blur.

The window background drawable is drawn on top of the blurred region. The blur region bounds and rounded corners will mimic those of the background drawable.

For the blur region to be visible, the window has to be translucent (see R.attr.windowIsTranslucent) and floating (see R.attr.windowIsFloating).

Note the difference with WindowManager.LayoutParams#setBlurBehindRadius, which blurs the whole screen behind the window. Background blur blurs the screen behind only within the bounds of the window.

Some devices might not support cross-window blur due to GPU limitations. It can also be disabled at runtime, e.g. during battery saving mode, when multimedia tunneling is used or when minimal post processing is requested. In such situations, no blur will be computed or drawn, resulting in a transparent window background. To avoid this, the app might want to change its theme to one that does not use blurs. To listen for cross-window blur enabled/disabled events, use WindowManager#addCrossWindowBlurEnabledListener.

Parameters
blurRadius int: The blur radius to use for window background blur in pixels

setBackgroundDrawableResource

Added in API level 1
public void setBackgroundDrawableResource (int resId)

Parameters
layoutResID int: Resource ID to be inflated.

setDecorCaptionShade

Added in API level 24
public abstract void setDecorCaptionShade (int decorCaptionShade)

Set what color should the caption controls be. By default the system will try to determine the color from the theme. You can overwrite this by using DECOR_CAPTION_SHADE_DARK, DECOR_CAPTION_SHADE_LIGHT, or DECOR_CAPTION_SHADE_AUTO.

Parameters

setDecorFitsSystemWindows

Added in API level 30
public void setDecorFitsSystemWindows (boolean decorFitsSystemWindows)

Sets whether the decor view should fit root-level content views for WindowInsets.

If set to true, the framework will inspect the now deprecated View#SYSTEM_UI_LAYOUT_FLAGS as well the WindowManager.LayoutParams#SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE flag and fits content according to these flags.

If set to false, the framework will not fit the content view to the insets and will just pass through the WindowInsets to the content view.

Parameters
decorFitsSystemWindows boolean: Whether the decor view should fit root-level content views for insets.

setDesiredHdrHeadroom

public void setDesiredHdrHeadroom (float desiredHeadroom)

Sets the desired about of HDR headroom to be used when rendering as a ratio of targetHdrPeakBrightnessInNits / targetSdrWhitePointInNits. Only applies when setColorMode(int) is ActivityInfo#COLOR_MODE_HDR

By default the system will choose an amount of HDR headroom that is appropriate for the underlying device capabilities & bit-depth of the panel. However, for some types of content this can end up being more headroom than necessary or desired. An example would be a messaging app or gallery thumbnail view where some amount of HDR pop is desired without overly influencing the perceived brightness of the majority SDR content. This can also be used to animate in/out of an HDR range for smoother transitions.

Note: The actual amount of HDR headroom that will be given is subject to a variety of factors such as ambient conditions, display capabilities, or bit-depth limitations. See Display#getHdrSdrRatio() for more information as well as how to query the current value.

Parameters
desiredHeadroom float: The amount of HDR headroom that is desired. Must be >= 1.0 (no HDR) and <= 10,000.0. Passing 0.0 will reset to the default, automatically chosen value. Value is between 0.0f and 10000.0 inclusive

setPreferMinimalPostProcessing

Added in API level 30
public void setPreferMinimalPostProcessing (boolean isPreferred)

If isPreferred is true, this method requests that the connected display does minimal post processing when this window is visible on the screen. Otherwise, it requests that the display switches back to standard image processing.

By default, the display does not do minimal post processing and if this is desired, this method should not be used. It should be used with isPreferred=true when low latency has a higher priority than image enhancement processing (e.g. for games or video conferencing). The display will automatically go back into standard image processing mode when no window requesting minimal posst processing is visible on screen anymore. setPreferMinimalPostProcessing(false) can be used if setPreferMinimalPostProcessing(true) was previously called for this window and minimal post processing is no longer required.

If the Display sink is connected via HDMI, the device will begin to send infoframes with Auto Low Latency Mode enabled and Game Content Type. This will switch the connected display to a minimal image processing mode (if available), which reduces latency, improving the user experience for gaming or video conferencing applications. For more information, see HDMI 2.1 specification.

If the Display sink has an internal connection or uses some other protocol than HDMI, effects may be similar but implementation-defined.

The ability to switch to a mode with minimal post proessing may be disabled by a user setting in the system settings menu. In that case, this method does nothing.

Parameters
isPreferred boolean: Indicates whether minimal post processing is preferred for this window (isPreferred=true) or not (isPreferred=false).

setSystemGestureExclusionRects

Added in API level 29
public void setSystemGestureExclusionRects (List<Rect> rects)

Sets a list of areas within this window's coordinate space where the system should not intercept touch or other pointing device gestures.

This method should be used by apps that make use of takeSurface(android.view.SurfaceHolder.Callback2) and do not have a view hierarchy available. Apps that do have a view hierarchy should use View#setSystemGestureExclusionRects(List) instead. This method does not modify or replace the gesture exclusion rects populated by individual views in this window's view hierarchy using View#setSystemGestureExclusionRects(List).

Use this to tell the system which specific sub-areas of a view need to receive gesture input in order to function correctly in the presence of global system gestures that may conflict. For example, if the system wishes to capture swipe-in-from-screen-edge gestures to provide system-level navigation functionality, a view such as a navigation drawer container can mark the left (or starting) edge of itself as requiring gesture capture priority using this API. The system may then choose to relax its own gesture recognition to allow the app to consume the user's gesture. It is not necessary for an app to register exclusion rects for broadly spanning regions such as the entirety of a ScrollView or for simple press and release click targets such as Button. Mark an exclusion rect when interacting with a view requires a precision touch gesture in a small area in either the X or Y dimension, such as an edge swipe or dragging a SeekBar thumb.

Do not modify the provided list after this method is called.

Parameters
rects List: A list of precision gesture regions that this window needs to function correctly This value cannot be null.
