This class was deprecated in API level 16.
This widget is no longer supported. Other horizontally scrolling widgets include HorizontalScrollView and ViewPager from the support library.

A view that shows items in a center-locked, horizontally scrolling list.

The default values for the Gallery assume you will be using R.styleable.Theme_galleryItemBackground as the background for each View given to the Gallery from the Adapter. If you are not doing this, you may need to adjust some Gallery properties, such as the spacing.

Views given to the Gallery should use Gallery.LayoutParams as their layout parameters type.

Added in API level 1
protected void onFocusChanged (boolean gainFocus, 
                int direction, 
                Rect previouslyFocusedRect)

Called by the view system when the focus state of this view changes. When the focus change event is caused by directional navigation, direction and previouslyFocusedRect provide insight into where the focus is coming from. When overriding, be sure to call up through to the super class so that the standard focus handling will occur.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
gainFocus boolean: True if the View has focus; false otherwise.

direction int: The direction focus has moved when requestFocus() is called to give this view focus. Values are View.FOCUS_UP, View.FOCUS_DOWN, View.FOCUS_LEFT, View.FOCUS_RIGHT, View.FOCUS_FORWARD, or View.FOCUS_BACKWARD. It may not always apply, in which case use the default. Value is View.FOCUS_BACKWARD, View.FOCUS_FORWARD, View.FOCUS_LEFT, View.FOCUS_UP, View.FOCUS_RIGHT, or View.FOCUS_DOWN

previouslyFocusedRect Rect: The rectangle, in this view's coordinate system, of the previously focused view. If applicable, this will be passed in as finer grained information about where the focus is coming from (in addition to direction). Will be null otherwise.
