LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.1.0
public static final int LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE = 2

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

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

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

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

LAYER_TYPE_NONE

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.1.0
public static final int LAYER_TYPE_NONE = 0

Indicates that the view does not have a layer.

LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.1.0
public static final int LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE = 1

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

Software layers have various usages:

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

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

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

dispatchNestedFling

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean dispatchNestedFling(
    @NonNull View view,
    float velocityX,
    float velocityY,
    boolean consumed
)

Dispatch a fling to a nested scrolling parent.

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

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

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to dispatch the fling.

float velocityX

Horizontal fling velocity in pixels per second

float velocityY

Vertical fling velocity in pixels per second

boolean consumed

true if the child consumed the fling, false otherwise

Returns
boolean

true if the nested scrolling parent consumed or otherwise reacted to the fling

dispatchNestedPreFling

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean dispatchNestedPreFling(
    @NonNull View view,
    float velocityX,
    float velocityY
)

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

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

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

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

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

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to dispatch the fling.

float velocityX

Horizontal fling velocity in pixels per second

float velocityY

Vertical fling velocity in pixels per second

Returns
boolean

true if a nested scrolling parent consumed the fling

dispatchNestedPreScroll

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean dispatchNestedPreScroll(
    @NonNull View view,
    int dx,
    int dy,
    @Nullable int[] consumed,
    @Nullable int[] offsetInWindow

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

This version of the method just calls dispatchNestedPreScroll using the touch input type.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to dispatch the scroll.

int dx

Horizontal scroll distance in pixels

int dy

Vertical scroll distance in pixels

@Nullable int[] consumed

Output. If not null, consumed[0] will contain the consumed component of dx and consumed[1] the consumed dy.

@Nullable int[] offsetInWindow

Optional. If not null, on return this will contain the offset in local view coordinates of this view from before this operation to after it completes. View implementations may use this to adjust expected input coordinate tracking.

Returns
boolean

true if the parent consumed some or all of the scroll delta

dispatchNestedPreScroll

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean dispatchNestedPreScroll(
    @NonNull View view,
    int dx,
    int dy,
    @Nullable int[] consumed,
    @Nullable int[] offsetInWindow,
    int type
)

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

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

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to dispatch the scroll.

int dx

Horizontal scroll distance in pixels

int dy

Vertical scroll distance in pixels

@Nullable int[] consumed

Output. If not null, consumed[0] will contain the consumed component of dx and consumed[1] the consumed dy.

Returns
boolean

true if the parent consumed some or all of the scroll delta

dispatchNestedScroll

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean dispatchNestedScroll(
    @NonNull View view,
    int dxConsumed,
    int dyConsumed,
    int dxUnconsumed,
    int dyUnconsumed,
    @Nullable int[] offsetInWindow
)

Dispatch one step of a nested scroll in progress.

int dyUnconsumed

Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by this view

@Nullable int[] offsetInWindow

Optional. If not null, on return this will contain the offset in local view coordinates of this view from before this operation to after it completes. View implementations may use this to adjust expected input coordinate tracking.

Returns
boolean

true if the event was dispatched, false if it could not be dispatched.

dispatchNestedScroll

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean dispatchNestedScroll(
    @NonNull View view,
    int dxConsumed,
    int dyConsumed,
    int dxUnconsumed,
    int dyUnconsumed,
    @Nullable int[] offsetInWindow,
    int type
)

Dispatch one step of a nested scroll in progress.

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

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

Parameters

view for which to dispatch the scroll.

int dxConsumed

Horizontal distance in pixels consumed by this view during this scroll step

int dyConsumed

Vertical distance in pixels consumed by this view during this scroll step

int dyUnconsumed

Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by this view

@Nullable int[] offsetInWindow

Optional. If not null, on return this will contain the offset in local view coordinates of this view from before this operation to after it completes. View implementations may use this to adjust expected input coordinate tracking.

int type

the type of input which cause this scroll event

Returns
boolean

true if the event was dispatched, and therefore the scroll distance was consumed

dispatchNestedScroll

Added in 1.1.0
public static void dispatchNestedScroll(
    @NonNull View view,
    int dxConsumed,
    int dyConsumed,
    int dxUnconsumed,
    int dyUnconsumed,
    @Nullable int[] offsetInWindow,
    int type,
    @NonNull int[] consumed
)

Dispatch one step of a nested scroll in progress.

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

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

A non-null consumed int array of length 2 may be passed in to enable nested scrolling parents to report how much of the scroll distance was consumed. The original caller (where the input event was received to start the scroll) should initialize the values to be 0, in order to tell how much was actually consumed up the hierarchy of scrolling parents.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to dispatch the scroll.

int dxConsumed

Horizontal distance in pixels consumed by this view during this scroll step

int dyConsumed

Vertical distance in pixels consumed by this view during this scroll step

getOnReceiveContentMimeTypes

Added in 1.5.0
public static @Nullable String[] getOnReceiveContentMimeTypes(@NonNull View view)

Returns the MIME types accepted by the listener configured on the given view via setOnReceiveContentListener. By default returns null.

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

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

Parameters
@NonNull View view

The target view.

Returns
@Nullable String[]

The MIME types accepted by the OnReceiveContentListener for the given view (may include patterns such as "image/*").

Returns
boolean

whether this view has a nested scrolling parent

hasNestedScrollingParent

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean hasNestedScrollingParent(@NonNull View view, int type)

Returns true if this view has a nested scrolling parent.

hasOverlappingRendering

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.13.0-alpha05
public static boolean hasOverlappingRendering(@NonNull View view)

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.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to get the state.

Returns
boolean

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

isImportantForAccessibility

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean isImportantForAccessibility(@NonNull View view)

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

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

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

  1. IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO or IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO_HIDE_DESCENDANTS, return false
  2. IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_YES, return true
  3. IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_AUTO, return true if view satisfies any of the following:

Note: Prior to API 21, this method will always return true.

Parameters

isImportantForAutofill

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean isImportantForAutofill(@NonNull View v)

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

Generally speaking, a view is important for autofill if:

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

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

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

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

When a view is considered important for autofill:

  • The view might automatically trigger an autofill request when focused on.
  • The contents of the view are included in the android.view.ViewStructure used in an autofill request.

On the other hand, when a view is considered not important for autofill:

This method is only supported on API >= 26. On API 25 and below, it will always return true.

Parameters
@NonNull View v

The View against which to invoke the method.

Returns
boolean

whether the view is considered important for autofill.

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

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

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

If an AccessibilityDelegateCompat has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate, its onInitializeAccessibilityEvent is responsible for handling this call.

Called from dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent giving a chance to this View to populate the accessibility event with its text content.

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

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

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

    event.getText().add(selectedDateUtterance);
}

If an AccessibilityDelegateCompat has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate its onPopulateAccessibilityEvent is responsible for handling this call.

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

Parameters
View v

The View against which to invoke the method.

AccessibilityEvent event

The accessibility event which to populate.

The target view.

@NonNull ContentInfoCompat payload

The content to insert and related metadata.

Returns
@Nullable ContentInfoCompat

The portion of the passed-in content that was not handled (may be all, some, or none of the passed-in content).

saveAttributeDataForStyleable

Added in 1.3.0
public static void saveAttributeDataForStyleable(
    @NonNull View view,
    @NonNull Context context,
    @NonNull int[] styleable,
    @Nullable AttributeSet attrs,
    @NonNull TypedArray t,
    int defStyleAttr,
    int defStyleRes
)

Stores debugging information about attributes. This should be called in a constructor by every custom View that uses a custom styleable. If the custom view does not call it, then the custom attributes used by this view will not be visible in layout inspection tools. No-op before API 29.

Parameters

view for which to save the data.

@NonNull Context context

Context under which this view is created.

@NonNull int[] styleable

A reference to styleable array R.styleable.Foo

@Nullable AttributeSet attrs

setAccessibilityDelegate

Added in 1.1.0
public static void setAccessibilityDelegate(
    @NonNull View v,
    @Nullable AccessibilityDelegateCompat delegate
)

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

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

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

If an AccessibilityDelegateCompat is already attached to the view, and this method sets the delegate to null, an empty delegate will be attached to ensure that other compatibility behavior continues to work for this view.

Parameters
@NonNull View v

view for which to set the delegate.

@Nullable AccessibilityDelegateCompat delegate

the object to which accessibility method calls should be delegated

setAccessibilityHeading

Added in 1.1.0
@UiThread
public static void setAccessibilityHeading(@NonNull View view, boolean isHeading)

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

Parameters
@NonNull View view

The view to set if it is a heading.

boolean isHeading

true if the view is a heading, false otherwise.

Compatibility:

  • API <28: No-op

setAccessibilityLiveRegion

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.13.0-alpha05
public static void setAccessibilityLiveRegion(
    @NonNull View view,
    @ViewCompat.AccessibilityLiveRegion int mode
)

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

To indicate that the user should be notified of changes, use ACCESSIBILITY_LIVE_REGION_POLITE. Announcements from this region are queued and do not disrupt ongoing speech.

For example, selecting an option in a dropdown menu may update a panel below with the updated content. This panel may be marked as a live region with ACCESSIBILITY_LIVE_REGION_POLITE to notify users of the change.

For notifying users about errors, such as in a login screen with text that displays an "incorrect password" notification, that view should send an AccessibilityEvent of type CONTENT_CHANGE_TYPE_ERROR and set setError instead. Custom widgets should expose error-setting methods that support accessibility automatically. For example, instead of explicitly sending this event when using a TextView, use setError.

To disable change notifications for this view, use ACCESSIBILITY_LIVE_REGION_NONE. This is the default live region mode for most views.

If the view's changes should interrupt ongoing speech and notify the user immediately, use ACCESSIBILITY_LIVE_REGION_ASSERTIVE. This may result in disruptive announcements from an accessibility service, so it should generally be used only to convey information that is time-sensitive or critical for use of the application. Examples may include an incoming call or an emergency alert.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

The view on which to set the live region mode

@ViewCompat.AccessibilityLiveRegion int mode

The live region mode for this view, one of:

setAccessibilityPaneTitle

Added in 1.1.0
@UiThread
public static void setAccessibilityPaneTitle(
    @NonNull View view,
    @Nullable CharSequence accessibilityPaneTitle
)

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

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

To set the pane title in xml, use android:accessibilityPaneTitle.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

The view whose pane title should be set.

@Nullable CharSequence accessibilityPaneTitle

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

Compatibility:

  • API <19: No-op
{@see AccessibilityNodeInfo#setPaneTitle(CharSequence)}

setActivated

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.1.0
public static void setActivated(View view, boolean activated)

Changes the activated state of this view. A view can be activated or not. Note that activation is not the same as selection. Selection is a transient property, representing the view (hierarchy) the user is currently interacting with. Activation is a longer-term state that the user can move views in and out of.

Parameters
View view

view for which to set the state.

boolean activated

true if the view must be activated, false otherwise

setAlpha

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.1.0
public static void setAlpha(View view, @FloatRange(from = 0.0, to = 1.0) float value)

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

Note that setting alpha to a translucent value (0

Parameters
View view

view to set the alpha on.

@FloatRange(from = 0.0, to = 1.0) float value

The opacity of the view.

setAutofillHints

public static void setAutofillHints(@NonNull View view, @Nullable String[] autofillHints)

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

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

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

This method is only supported on API >= 26. On API 25 and below, it is a no-op

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to set the hints.

@Nullable String[] autofillHints

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

setAutofillId

Added in 1.11.0
public static void setAutofillId(@NonNull View v, @Nullable AutofillIdCompat id)

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

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

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

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

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

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

NOTE: If this view is a descendant of an android.widget.AdapterView, the system may reset its autofill id when this view is recycled. If the autofill ids need to be stable, they should be set again in getView. Compatibility behavior:

  • SDK 28 and above, this method matches platform behavior.
  • SDK 27 and below, this method does nothing.
Parameters
@NonNull View v

The View against which to invoke the method.

@Nullable AutofillIdCompat id

an autofill ID that is unique in the android.app.Activity hosting the view, or null to reset it. Usually it's an id previously allocated to another view (and obtained through getAutofillId), or a new value obtained through getNextAutofillId.

Throws
java.lang.IllegalStateException

if the view is already attached to a window.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

if the id is an autofill id associated with a virtual view.

setBackground

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.13.0-alpha05
public static void setBackground(@NonNull View view, @Nullable Drawable background)

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

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to set the background.

@Nullable Drawable background

the drawable to use as view background.

setBackgroundTintList

Added in 1.1.0
public static void setBackgroundTintList(
    @NonNull View view,
    @Nullable ColorStateList tintList
)

Applies a tint to the background drawable.

This will always take effect when running on API v21 or newer. When running on platforms previous to API v21, it will only take effect if view implements the TintableBackgroundView interface.

setBackgroundTintMode

Added in 1.1.0
public static void setBackgroundTintMode(@NonNull View view, @Nullable PorterDuff.Mode mode)

Specifies the blending mode used to apply the tint specified by setBackgroundTintList to the background drawable. The default mode is SRC_IN.

This will always take effect when running on API v21 or newer. When running on platforms previous to API v21, it will only take effect if view implement the TintableBackgroundView interface.

setChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.1.0
public static void setChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled(ViewGroup viewGroup, boolean enabled)

Tells the ViewGroup whether to draw its children in the order defined by the method ViewGroup.getChildDrawingOrder(int, int).

Parameters
ViewGroup viewGroup

the ViewGroup for which to set the mode.

boolean enabled

true if the order of the children when drawing is determined by getChildDrawingOrder, false otherwise

Prior to API 7 this will have no effect.

setClipBounds

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.13.0-alpha05
public static void setClipBounds(@NonNull View view, @Nullable Rect clipBounds)

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

Prior to API 18 this does nothing.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

The view to set clipBounds.

@Nullable Rect clipBounds

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

setContentCaptureSession

Added in 1.11.0
public static void setContentCaptureSession(
    @NonNull View v,
    @Nullable ContentCaptureSessionCompat contentCaptureSession
)

Sets the (optional) ContentCaptureSession associated with this view.

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

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

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

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

  ContentCaptureSession iframeSession = mainSession.createContentCaptureSession(
      ContentCaptureContext.forLocusId(Uri.parse(iframeUrl)));
  iframeView.setContentCaptureSession(iframeSession);
Compatibility behavior:
  • SDK 29 and above, this method matches platform behavior.
  • SDK 28 and below, this method does nothing.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to set the state.

boolean isFocusedByDefault

true to set view as the default-focus view, false otherwise.

setImportantForAccessibility

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.13.0-alpha05
@UiThread
public static void setImportantForAccessibility(
    @NonNull View view,
    @ViewCompat.ImportantForAccessibility int mode
)

Sets how to determine whether this view is important for accessibility which is if it fires accessibility events and if it is reported to accessibility services that query the screen.

Note: If the current platform version does not support the IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO_HIDE_DESCENDANTS mode, then IMPORTANT_FOR_ACCESSIBILITY_NO will be used as it is the closest terms of semantics.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

The view whose property to set.

@ViewCompat.ImportantForAccessibility int mode

How to determine whether this view is important for accessibility.

setImportantForAutofill

Added in 1.1.0
public static void setImportantForAutofill(
    @NonNull View v,
    @ViewCompat.AutofillImportance int mode
)

Sets the mode for determining whether this view is considered important for autofill.

The platform determines the importance for autofill automatically but you can use this method to customize the behavior. For example:

  1. When the view contents is irrelevant for autofill (for example, a text field used in a "Captcha" challenge), it should be IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO.
  2. When both the view and its children are irrelevant for autofill (for example, the root view of an activity containing a spreadhseet editor), it should be IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS.
  3. When the view content is relevant for autofill but its children aren't (for example, a credit card expiration date represented by a custom view that overrides the proper autofill methods and has 2 children representing the month and year), it should be IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_YES_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS.

NOTE: setting the mode as does IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO or IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS does not guarantee the view (and its children) will be always be considered not important; for example, when the user explicitly makes an autofill request, all views are considered important. See isImportantForAutofill for more details about how the View's importance for autofill is used.

This method is only supported on API >= 26. On API 25 and below, it is a no-op

setImportantForContentCapture

Added in 1.11.0
public static void setImportantForContentCapture(
    @NonNull View v,
    @ViewCompat.ImportantForContentCapture int mode
)

Sets the mode for determining whether this view is considered important for content capture.

The platform determines the importance for autofill automatically but you can use this method to customize the behavior. Typically, a view that provides text should be marked as IMPORTANT_FOR_CONTENT_CAPTURE_YES. Compatibility behavior:

  • SDK 30 and above, this method matches platform behavior.
  • SDK 29 and below, this method does nothing.

ref android.R.styleable#View_importantForContentCapture

setKeyboardNavigationCluster

setLayerPaint

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.13.0-alpha05
public static void setLayerPaint(@NonNull View view, @Nullable Paint paint)

Updates the Paint object used with the current layer (used only if the current layer type is not set to LAYER_TYPE_NONE). Changed properties of the Paint provided to setLayerType will be used the next time the View is redrawn, but setLayerPaint must be called to ensure that the view gets redrawn immediately.

A layer is associated with an optional android.graphics.Paint instance that controls how the layer is composed on screen. The following properties of the paint are taken into account when composing the layer:

If this view has an alpha value set to <1.0 by calling View#setAlpha(float), the alpha value of the layer's paint is replaced by this view's alpha value. Calling View#setAlpha(float) is therefore equivalent to setting a hardware layer on this view and providing a paint with the desired alpha value.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

View to set a layer paint for

@Nullable Paint paint

The paint used to compose the layer. This argument is optional and can be null. It is ignored when the layer type is LAYER_TYPE_NONE

setLayerType

setLayerType

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.1.0
public static void setLayerType(View view, @ViewCompat.LayerType int layerType, Paint paint)

Specifies the type of layer backing this view. The layer can be disabled, software or hardware.

A layer is associated with an optional android.graphics.Paint instance that controls how the layer is composed on screen. The following properties of the paint are taken into account when composing the layer:

If this view has an alpha value set to <1.0 by calling setAlpha(float), the alpha value of the layer's paint is replaced by this view's alpha value. Calling setAlpha(float) is therefore equivalent to setting a hardware layer on this view and providing a paint with the desired alpha value.

Refer to the documentation of disabled, software and hardware for more information on when and how to use layers.

Parameters
View view

View to set the layer type for

@ViewCompat.LayerType int layerType

The type of layer to use with this view, must be one of LAYER_TYPE_NONE, LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE or LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE

Paint paint

The paint used to compose the layer. This argument is optional and can be null. It is ignored when the layer type is LAYER_TYPE_NONE

Parameters
@NonNull View view

View to set layout direction for

@ViewCompat.LayoutDirectionMode int layoutDirection

the layout direction to set. Should be one of: LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR, LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL, LAYOUT_DIRECTION_INHERIT, LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LOCALE. Resolution will be done if the value is set to LAYOUT_DIRECTION_INHERIT. The resolution proceeds up the parent chain of the view to get the value. If there is no parent, then it will return the default LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR.

setNestedScrollingEnabled

Added in 1.1.0
public static void setNestedScrollingEnabled(@NonNull View view, boolean enabled)

Enable or disable nested scrolling for this view.

If this property is set to true the view will be permitted to initiate nested scrolling operations with a compatible parent view in the current hierarchy. If this view does not implement nested scrolling this will have no effect. Disabling nested scrolling while a nested scroll is in progress has the effect of stopping the nested scroll.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to set the state.

boolean enabled

true to enable nested scrolling, false to disable

setNextClusterForwardId

Added in 1.1.0
public static void setNextClusterForwardId(@NonNull View view, int nextClusterForwardId)

    @Nullable OnApplyWindowInsetsListener listener
)

Set an OnApplyWindowInsetsListener to take over the policy for applying window insets to this view. This will only take effect on devices with API 21 or above.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view on which to the listener.

@Nullable OnApplyWindowInsetsListener listener

listener for the applied window insets.

setOnReceiveContentListener

Added in 1.5.0
public static void setOnReceiveContentListener(
    @NonNull View view,
    @Nullable String[] mimeTypes,
    @Nullable OnReceiveContentListener listener
)

Sets the listener to be used to handle insertion of content into the given view.

Depending on the type of view, this listener may be invoked for different scenarios. For example, for an AppCompatEditText, this listener will be invoked for the following scenarios:

  1. Paste from the clipboard (e.g. "Paste" or "Paste as plain text" action in the insertion/selection menu)
  2. Content insertion from the keyboard (from commitContent)
  3. Drag and drop (drop events from onDragEvent)

When setting a listener, clients must also declare the accepted MIME types. The listener will still be invoked even if the MIME type of the content is not one of the declared MIME types (e.g. if the user pastes content whose type is not one of the declared MIME types). In that case, the listener may reject the content (defer to the default platform behavior) or execute some other fallback logic (e.g. show an appropriate message to the user). The declared MIME types serve as a hint to allow different features to optionally alter their behavior. For example, a soft keyboard may optionally choose to hide its UI for inserting GIFs for a particular input field if the MIME types set here for that field don't include "image/gif" or "image/*".

Note: MIME type matching in the Android framework is case-sensitive, unlike formal RFC MIME types. As a result, you should always write your MIME types with lowercase letters, or use normalizeMimeType to ensure that it is converted to lowercase.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

The target view.

@Nullable String[] mimeTypes

The MIME types accepted by the given listener. These may use patterns such as "image/*", but may not start with a wildcard. This argument must not be null or empty if a non-null listener is passed in.

@Nullable OnReceiveContentListener listener

The listener to use. This can be null to reset to the default behavior.

setOverScrollMode

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.1.0
public static void setOverScrollMode(View view, @ViewCompat.OverScroll int overScrollMode)

Set the over-scroll mode for this view. Valid over-scroll modes are OVER_SCROLL_ALWAYS (default), OVER_SCROLL_IF_CONTENT_SCROLLS (allow over-scrolling only if the view content is larger than the container), or OVER_SCROLL_NEVER. Setting the over-scroll mode of a view will have an effect only if the view is capable of scrolling.

    @NonNull View view,
    @Px int start,
    @Px int top,
    @Px int end,
    @Px int bottom
)

Sets the relative padding. The view may add on the space required to display the scrollbars, depending on the style and visibility of the scrollbars. So the values returned from getPaddingStart, getPaddingTop, getPaddingEnd and getPaddingBottom may be different from the values set in this call.

the mask for scroll indicators.

setStateDescription

Added in 1.5.0
@UiThread
public static void setStateDescription(
    @NonNull View view,
    @Nullable CharSequence stateDescription
)

Sets the state description of this node.

Note: Cannot be called from an android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService. This class is made immutable before being delivered to an AccessibilityService.

State refers to a frequently changing property of the View, such as an enabled/disabled state of a button or the audio level of a volume slider.

This should omit role or content. Role refers to the kind of user-interface element the View is, such as a Button or Checkbox. Content is the meaningful text and graphics that should be described by setContentDescription or android:contentDescription. It is expected that a content description mostly remains constant, while a state description updates from time to time.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to set the description.

@Nullable CharSequence stateDescription

the state description of this node.

Throws
java.lang.IllegalStateException

If called from an AccessibilityService.

setWindowInsetsAnimationCallback

Added in 1.5.0
public static void setWindowInsetsAnimationCallback(
    @NonNull View view,
    @Nullable WindowInsetsAnimationCompat.Callback callback
)

Sets a WindowInsetsAnimationCompat.Callback to be notified about animations of windows that cause insets.

The callback's dispatch mode will affect whether animation callbacks are dispatched to the children of this view.

Prior to API 30, if an OnApplyWindowInsetsListener is used on the same view, be sure to always use the ViewCompat version of setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener, otherwise the listener will be overridden by this method.

The insets dispatch needs to reach this view for the listener to be called. If any view consumed the insets earlier in the dispatch, this won't be called.

Prior to API 21, this method has no effect.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to set the callback.

@Nullable WindowInsetsAnimationCompat.Callback callback

The callback to set, or null to remove the currently installed callback

setX

view for which to set the position.

float z

The visual z position of this view, in pixels.

startDragAndDrop

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean startDragAndDrop(
    @NonNull View v,
    @Nullable ClipData data,

    @Nullable Object myLocalState,
    int flags
)

Start the drag and drop operation.

startNestedScroll

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean startNestedScroll(@NonNull View view, int axes)

Begin a nestable scroll operation along the given axes.

This version of the method just calls startNestedScroll using the touch input type.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view for which to start the scroll.

int axes

Flags consisting of a combination of SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL and/or SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL.

Returns
boolean

true if a cooperative parent was found and nested scrolling has been enabled for the current gesture.

startNestedScroll

Added in 1.1.0
public static boolean startNestedScroll(@NonNull View view, int axes, int type)

Begin a nestable scroll operation along the given axes.

A view starting a nested scroll promises to abide by the following contract:

The view will call startNestedScroll upon initiating a scroll operation. In the case of a touch scroll this corresponds to the initial ACTION_DOWN. In the case of touch scrolling the nested scroll will be terminated automatically in the same manner as requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent. In the event of programmatic scrolling the caller must explicitly call stopNestedScroll to indicate the end of the nested scroll.

If startNestedScroll returns true, a cooperative parent was found. If it returns false the caller may ignore the rest of this contract until the next scroll. Calling startNestedScroll while a nested scroll is already in progress will return true.

At each incremental step of the scroll the caller should invoke dispatchNestedPreScroll once it has calculated the requested scrolling delta. If it returns true the nested scrolling parent at least partially consumed the scroll and the caller should adjust the amount it scrolls by.

After applying the remainder of the scroll delta the caller should invoke dispatchNestedScroll, passing both the delta consumed and the delta unconsumed. A nested scrolling parent may treat these values differently. See onNestedScroll.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

view on which to start the scroll.

int axes

Flags consisting of a combination of SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL and/or SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL.

int type

the type of input which cause this scroll event

Returns
boolean

true if a cooperative parent was found and nested scrolling has been enabled for the current gesture.
