NinePatch


open class NinePatch
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.graphics.NinePatch

The NinePatch class permits drawing a bitmap in nine or more sections. Essentially, it allows the creation of custom graphics that will scale the way that you define, when content added within the image exceeds the normal bounds of the graphic. For a thorough explanation of a NinePatch image, read the discussion in the 2D Graphics document.

The Draw 9-Patch tool offers an extremely handy way to create your NinePatch images, using a WYSIWYG graphics editor.

Public constructors

NinePatch

Added in API level 19
NinePatch(
    bitmap: Bitmap!,
    chunk: ByteArray!)

Create a drawable projection from a bitmap to nine patches.

Parameters
bitmap Bitmap!: The bitmap describing the patches.
chunk ByteArray!: The 9-patch data chunk describing how the underlying bitmap is split apart and drawn.

NinePatch

Added in API level 1
NinePatch(
    bitmap: Bitmap!,
    chunk: ByteArray!,
    srcName: String!)

Create a drawable projection from a bitmap to nine patches.

Parameters
bitmap Bitmap!: The bitmap describing the patches.
chunk ByteArray!: The 9-patch data chunk describing how the underlying bitmap is split apart and drawn.
srcName String!: The name of the source for the bitmap. Might be null.

Public methods

draw

Added in API level 1
open fun draw(
    canvas: Canvas!,
    location: Rect!
): Unit

Draws the NinePatch. This method will use the paint returned by getPaint().

Parameters
canvas Canvas!: A container for the current matrix and clip used to draw the NinePatch.
location Rect!: Where to draw the NinePatch.

draw

Added in API level 1
open fun draw(
    canvas: Canvas!,
    location: Rect!,
    paint: Paint!
): Unit

Draws the NinePatch. This method will ignore the paint returned by getPaint() and use the specified paint instead.

Parameters
canvas Canvas!: A container for the current matrix and clip used to draw the NinePatch.
location Rect!: Where to draw the NinePatch.
paint Paint!: The Paint to draw through.

draw

Added in API level 1
open fun draw(
    canvas: Canvas!,
    location: RectF!
): Unit

Draws the NinePatch. This method will use the paint returned by getPaint().

Parameters
canvas Canvas!: A container for the current matrix and clip used to draw the NinePatch.
location RectF!: Where to draw the NinePatch.

getBitmap

Added in API level 19
open fun getBitmap(): Bitmap!

Returns the bitmap used to draw this NinePatch.

getDensity

Added in API level 4
open fun getDensity(): Int

Return the underlying bitmap's density, as per Bitmap.getDensity().

getHeight

Added in API level 1
open fun getHeight(): Int

Returns the intrinsic height, in pixels, of this NinePatch. This is equivalent to querying the height of the underlying bitmap returned by getBitmap().

getName

Added in API level 19
open fun getName(): String!

Returns the name of this NinePatch object if one was specified when calling the constructor.

getPaint

Added in API level 19
open fun getPaint(): Paint!

Returns the paint used to draw this NinePatch. The paint can be null.

getTransparentRegion

Added in API level 1
fun getTransparentRegion(bounds: Rect!): Region!

Returns a Region representing the parts of the NinePatch that are completely transparent.

Parameters
bounds Rect!: The location and size of the NinePatch.
Return
Region! null if the NinePatch has no transparent region to report, else a Region holding the parts of the specified bounds that are transparent.

getWidth

Added in API level 1
open fun getWidth(): Int

Returns the intrinsic width, in pixels, of this NinePatch. This is equivalent to querying the width of the underlying bitmap returned by getBitmap().

hasAlpha

Added in API level 1
fun hasAlpha(): Boolean

Indicates whether this NinePatch contains transparent or translucent pixels. This is equivalent to calling getBitmap().hasAlpha() on this NinePatch.

isNinePatchChunk

Added in API level 1
open static fun isNinePatchChunk(chunk: ByteArray!): Boolean

Verifies that the specified byte array is a valid 9-patch data chunk.

Parameters
chunk ByteArray!: A byte array representing a 9-patch data chunk.
Return
Boolean True if the specified byte array represents a 9-patch data chunk, false otherwise.

setPaint

Added in API level 1
open fun setPaint(p: Paint!): Unit

Sets the paint to use when drawing the NinePatch.

Parameters
p Paint!: The paint that will be used to draw this NinePatch.

Protected methods

finalize

Added in API level 1
protected open fun finalize(): Unit

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the Java virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Exceptions
java.lang.Throwable the Exception raised by this method
