EdgeEffectCompat

class EdgeEffectCompat
kotlin.Any
   ↳ androidx.core.widget.EdgeEffectCompat

Helper for accessing android.widget.EdgeEffect. This class is used to access android.widget.EdgeEffect on platform versions that support it. When running on older platforms it will result in no-ops. It should be used by views that wish to use the standard Android visual effects at the edges of scrolling containers.

Summary

Public constructors
<init>(context: Context!)

Construct a new EdgeEffect themed using the given context.
Public methods
Boolean
draw(canvas: Canvas!)

Draw into the provided canvas.
Unit

Immediately finish the current animation.
Boolean

Reports if this EdgeEffectCompat's animation is finished.
Boolean
onAbsorb(velocity: Int)

Call when the effect absorbs an impact at the given velocity.
Boolean
onPull(deltaDistance: Float)

A view should call this when content is pulled away from an edge by the user.
Boolean
onPull(deltaDistance: Float, displacement: Float)

A view should call this when content is pulled away from an edge by the user.
static Unit
onPull(@NonNull edgeEffect: EdgeEffect, deltaDistance: Float, displacement: Float)

A view should call this when content is pulled away from an edge by the user.
Boolean

Call when the object is released after being pulled.
Unit
setSize(width: Int, height: Int)

Set the size of this edge effect in pixels.

Public constructors

<init>

EdgeEffectCompat(context: Context!)

Deprecated: Use EdgeEffect constructor directly.

Construct a new EdgeEffect themed using the given context.

Note: On platform versions that do not support EdgeEffect, all operations on the newly constructed object will be mocked/no-ops.

Parameters
context Context!: Context to use for theming the effect

Public methods

draw

fun draw(canvas: Canvas!): Boolean

Deprecated: Use EdgeEffect#draw(Canvas) directly.

Draw into the provided canvas. Assumes that the canvas has been rotated accordingly and the size has been set. The effect will be drawn the full width of X=0 to X=width, beginning from Y=0 and extending to some factor < 1.f of height.

Parameters
canvas Canvas!: Canvas to draw into
Return
Boolean true if drawing should continue beyond this frame to continue the animation

finish

fun finish(): Unit

Deprecated: Use EdgeEffect#finish() directly.

Immediately finish the current animation. After this call isFinished() will return true.

isFinished

fun isFinished(): Boolean

Deprecated: Use EdgeEffect#isFinished() directly.

Reports if this EdgeEffectCompat's animation is finished. If this method returns false after a call to draw(Canvas) the host widget should schedule another drawing pass to continue the animation.

Return
Boolean true if animation is finished, false if drawing should continue on the next frame.

onAbsorb

fun onAbsorb(velocity: Int): Boolean

Deprecated: Use EdgeEffect#onAbsorb(int) directly.

Call when the effect absorbs an impact at the given velocity. Used when a fling reaches the scroll boundary.

When using a android.widget.Scroller or android.widget.OverScroller, the method getCurrVelocity will provide a reasonable approximation to use here.

Parameters
velocity Int: Velocity at impact in pixels per second.
Return
Boolean true if the host view should invalidate, false if it should not.

onPull

fun onPull(deltaDistance: Float): Boolean

Deprecated: Use onPull(EdgeEffect, float, float).

A view should call this when content is pulled away from an edge by the user. This will update the state of the current visual effect and its associated animation. The host view should always android.view.View#invalidate() if this method returns true and draw the results accordingly.

Parameters
deltaDistance Float: Change in distance since the last call. Values may be 0 (no change) to 1.f (full length of the view) or negative values to express change back toward the edge reached to initiate the effect.
Return
Boolean true if the host view should call invalidate, false if it should not.

onPull

fun onPull(
    deltaDistance: Float, 
    displacement: Float
): Boolean

Deprecated: Use EdgeEffect#onPull(float) directly.

A view should call this when content is pulled away from an edge by the user. This will update the state of the current visual effect and its associated animation. The host view should always android.view.View#invalidate() if this method returns true and draw the results accordingly. Views using EdgeEffect should favor EdgeEffect#onPull(float, float) when the displacement of the pull point is known.

Parameters
deltaDistance Float: Change in distance since the last call. Values may be 0 (no change) to 1.f (full length of the view) or negative values to express change back toward the edge reached to initiate the effect.
displacement Float: The displacement from the starting side of the effect of the point initiating the pull. In the case of touch this is the finger position. Values may be from 0-1.
Return
