ImageView

public class ImageView
extends View

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.View
     ↳ android.widget.ImageView


Displays image resources, for example Bitmap or Drawable resources. ImageView is also commonly used to apply tints to an image and handle image scaling.

The following XML snippet is a common example of using an ImageView to display an image resource:

 <LinearLayout
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent">
     <ImageView
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:src="@drawable/my_image"
         android:contentDescription="@string/my_image_description"
         />
 </LinearLayout>

hasOverlappingRendering

Added in API level 16
public boolean hasOverlappingRendering ()

Returns whether this View has content which overlaps.

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

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

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

invalidateDrawable

Added in API level 1
public void invalidateDrawable (Drawable dr)

Invalidates the specified Drawable.

Parameters
dr Drawable: This value cannot be null.

isOpaque

Added in API level 7
public boolean isOpaque ()

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

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

jumpDrawablesToCurrentState

Added in API level 11
public void jumpDrawablesToCurrentState ()

Call Drawable.jumpToCurrentState() on all Drawable objects associated with this view.

Also calls StateListAnimator#jumpToCurrentState() if there is a StateListAnimator attached to this view.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onCreateDrawableState

Added in API level 1
public int[] onCreateDrawableState (int extraSpace)

Generate the new Drawable state for this view. This is called by the view system when the cached Drawable state is determined to be invalid. To retrieve the current state, you should use getDrawableState().

Parameters
extraSpace int: if non-zero, this is the number of extra entries you would like in the returned array in which you can place your own states.

Returns
int[] Returns an array holding the current Drawable state of the view.

onRtlPropertiesChanged

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

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

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

onVisibilityAggregated

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

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

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

setAdjustViewBounds

Added in API level 1
public void setAdjustViewBounds (boolean adjustViewBounds)

Set this to true if you want the ImageView to adjust its bounds to preserve the aspect ratio of its drawable.

Note: If the application targets API level 17 or lower, adjustViewBounds will allow the drawable to shrink the view bounds, but not grow to fill available measured space in all cases. This is for compatibility with legacy MeasureSpec and RelativeLayout behavior.

Related XML Attributes:

Parameters
adjustViewBounds boolean: Whether to adjust the bounds of this view to preserve the original aspect ratio of the drawable.

setImageResource

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

Sets a drawable as the content of this ImageView.

This does Bitmap reading and decoding on the UI thread, which can cause a latency hiccup. If that's a concern, consider using setImageDrawable(android.graphics.drawable.Drawable) or setImageBitmap(android.graphics.Bitmap) and BitmapFactory instead.

Related XML Attributes:

Parameters
resId int: the resource identifier of the drawable

setImageState

Added in API level 1
public void setImageState (int[] state, 
                boolean merge)

setImageTintBlendMode

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

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

Related XML Attributes:

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

setImageTintList

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

Applies a tint to the image drawable. Does not modify the current tint mode, which is PorterDuff.Mode#SRC_IN by default.

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

Note: The default tint mode used by this setter is NOT consistent with the default tint mode used by the android:tint attribute. If the android:tint attribute is specified, the default tint mode will be set to PorterDuff.Mode#SRC_ATOP to ensure consistency with earlier versions of the platform.

Related XML Attributes:

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

setImageTintMode

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

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

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

setImageURI

Added in API level 1
public void setImageURI (Uri uri)

Sets the content of this ImageView to the specified Uri. Note that you use this method to load images from a local Uri only.

To learn how to display images from a remote Uri see: Handling Bitmaps

This does Bitmap reading and decoding on the UI thread, which can cause a latency hiccup. If that's a concern, consider using setImageDrawable(android.graphics.drawable.Drawable) or setImageBitmap(android.graphics.Bitmap) and BitmapFactory instead.

On devices running SDK < 24, this method will fail to apply correct density scaling to images loaded from content and file schemes. Applications running on devices with SDK >= 24 MUST specify the targetSdkVersion in their manifest as 24 or above for density scaling to be applied to images loaded from these schemes.

Parameters
uri Uri: the Uri of an image, or null to clear the content

setMaxHeight

Added in API level 1
public void setMaxHeight (int maxHeight)

An optional argument to supply a maximum height for this view. Only valid if setAdjustViewBounds(boolean) has been set to true. To set an image to be a maximum of 100 x 100 while preserving the original aspect ratio, do the following: 1) set adjustViewBounds to true 2) set maxWidth and maxHeight to 100 3) set the height and width layout params to WRAP_CONTENT.

Note that this view could be still smaller than 100 x 100 using this approach if the original image is small. To set an image to a fixed size, specify that size in the layout params and then use setScaleType(android.widget.ImageView.ScaleType) to determine how to fit the image within the bounds.

Protected methods

drawableStateChanged

Added in API level 1
protected void drawableStateChanged ()

This function is called whenever the state of the view changes in such a way that it impacts the state of drawables being shown.

If the View has a StateListAnimator, it will also be called to run necessary state change animations.

Be sure to call through to the superclass when overriding this function.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onAttachedToWindow

Added in API level 1
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 onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas), however it may be called any time before the first onDraw -- including before or after onMeasure(int, int).
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onDetachedFromWindow

Added in API level 1
protected void onDetachedFromWindow ()

This is called when the view is detached from a window. At this point it no longer has a surface for drawing.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onDraw

Added in API level 1
protected void onDraw (Canvas canvas)

Implement this to do your drawing.

Parameters
canvas Canvas: the canvas on which the background will be drawn This value cannot be null.

onMeasure

Added in API level 1
protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, 
                int heightMeasureSpec)

Measure the view and its content to determine the measured width and the measured height. This method is invoked by measure(int, int) and should be overridden by subclasses to provide accurate and efficient measurement of their contents.

CONTRACT: When overriding this method, you must call setMeasuredDimension(int, int) to store the measured width and height of this view. Failure to do so will trigger an IllegalStateException, thrown by measure(int, int). Calling the superclass' onMeasure(int, int) is a valid use.

The base class implementation of measure defaults to the background size, unless a larger size is allowed by the MeasureSpec. Subclasses should override onMeasure(int, int) to provide better measurements of their content.

If this method is overridden, it is the subclass's responsibility to make sure the measured height and width are at least the view's minimum height and width (getSuggestedMinimumHeight() and getSuggestedMinimumWidth()).

Parameters
widthMeasureSpec int: horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.

heightMeasureSpec int: vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.

setFrame

Added in API level 1
protected boolean setFrame (int l, 
                int t, 
                int r, 
                int b)

Parameters
l int

t int

r int

b int

Returns
boolean

verifyDrawable

Added in API level 1
protected boolean verifyDrawable (Drawable dr)

If your view subclass is displaying its own Drawable objects, it should override this function and return true for any Drawable it is displaying. This allows animations for those drawables to be scheduled.

Be sure to call through to the super class when overriding this function.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
dr Drawable: This value cannot be null.

Returns
boolean boolean If true then the Drawable is being displayed in the view; else false and it is not allowed to animate.
