ShapeDrawable


public class ShapeDrawable
extends Drawable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.graphics.drawable.Drawable
     ↳ android.graphics.drawable.ShapeDrawable


A Drawable object that draws primitive shapes. A ShapeDrawable takes a Shape object and manages its presence on the screen. If no Shape is given, then the ShapeDrawable will default to a RectShape.

This object can be defined in an XML file with the <shape> element.

ShapeDrawable constructor.

ShapeDrawable

Added in API level 1
public ShapeDrawable (Shape s)

Creates a ShapeDrawable with a specified Shape.

Parameters
s Shape: the Shape that this ShapeDrawable should be

Public methods

Parameters
canvas Canvas: The canvas to draw into This value cannot be null.

getAlpha

Added in API level 19
public int getAlpha ()

Gets the current alpha value for the drawable. 0 means fully transparent, 255 means fully opaque. This method is implemented by Drawable subclasses and the value returned is specific to how that class treats alpha. The default return value is 255 if the class does not override this method to return a value specific to its use of alpha.

Returns
int Value is between 0 and 255 inclusive

getChangingConfigurations

Added in API level 1
public int getChangingConfigurations ()

Return a mask of the configuration parameters for which this drawable may change, requiring that it be re-created. The default implementation returns whatever was provided through setChangingConfigurations(int) or 0 by default. Subclasses may extend this to or in the changing configurations of any other drawables they hold.

Returns
int Value is either 0 or a combination of ActivityInfo.CONFIG_MCC, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_MNC, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_LOCALE, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_KEYBOARD, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIDDEN, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_NAVIGATION, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_ORIENTATION, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_SCREEN_LAYOUT, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_UI_MODE, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_SCREEN_SIZE, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_SMALLEST_SCREEN_SIZE, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_DENSITY, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_LAYOUT_DIRECTION, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_COLOR_MODE, ActivityInfo.CONFIG_FONT_SCALE, and ActivityInfo.CONFIG_GRAMMATICAL_GENDER

getConstantState

Added in API level 1
public Drawable.ConstantState getConstantState ()

Return a ConstantState instance that holds the shared state of this Drawable.

Returns
Drawable.ConstantState The ConstantState associated to that Drawable. This value may be null.

getIntrinsicHeight

Added in API level 1
public int getIntrinsicHeight ()

Returns the drawable's intrinsic height.

Intrinsic height is the height at which the drawable would like to be laid out, including any inherent padding. If the drawable has no intrinsic height, such as a solid color, this method returns -1.

Returns
int the intrinsic height, or -1 if no intrinsic height

getIntrinsicWidth

Added in API level 1
public int getIntrinsicWidth ()

Returns the drawable's intrinsic width.

Intrinsic width is the width at which the drawable would like to be laid out, including any inherent padding. If the drawable has no intrinsic width, such as a solid color, this method returns -1.

Returns
int the intrinsic width, or -1 if no intrinsic width

getOpacity

Added in API level 1
public int getOpacity ()

This method is deprecated.
This method is no longer used in graphics optimizations

Return the opacity/transparency of this Drawable. The returned value is one of the abstract format constants in PixelFormat: PixelFormat.UNKNOWN, PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT, PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, or PixelFormat.OPAQUE.

An OPAQUE drawable is one that draws all all content within its bounds, completely covering anything behind the drawable. A TRANSPARENT drawable is one that draws nothing within its bounds, allowing everything behind it to show through. A TRANSLUCENT drawable is a drawable in any other state, where the drawable will draw some, but not all, of the content within its bounds and at least some content behind the drawable will be visible. If the visibility of the drawable's contents cannot be determined, the safest/best return value is TRANSLUCENT.

Generally a Drawable should be as conservative as possible with the value it returns. For example, if it contains multiple child drawables and only shows one of them at a time, if only one of the children is TRANSLUCENT and the others are OPAQUE then TRANSLUCENT should be returned. You can use the method resolveOpacity(int, int) to perform a standard reduction of two opacities to the appropriate single output.

Note that the returned value does not necessarily take into account a custom alpha or color filter that has been applied by the client through the setAlpha(int) or setColorFilter(ColorFilter) methods. Some subclasses, such as BitmapDrawable, ColorDrawable, and GradientDrawable, do account for the value of setAlpha(int), but the general behavior is dependent upon the implementation of the subclass.

Returns
int int The opacity class of the Drawable. Value is PixelFormat.UNKNOWN, PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT, PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, or PixelFormat.OPAQUE

getOutline

Added in API level 21
public void getOutline (Outline outline)

Called to get the drawable to populate the Outline that defines its drawing area.

This method is called by the default ViewOutlineProvider to define the outline of the View.

The default behavior defines the outline to be the bounding rectangle of 0 alpha. Subclasses that wish to convey a different shape or alpha value must override this method.

Parameters
outline Outline: This value cannot be null.

getPadding

Added in API level 1
public boolean getPadding (Rect padding)

Return in padding the insets suggested by this Drawable for placing content inside the drawable's bounds. Positive values move toward the center of the Drawable (set Rect.inset).

Parameters
padding Rect: This value cannot be null.

Returns
boolean true if this drawable actually has a padding, else false. When false is returned, the padding is always set to 0.

getPaint

Added in API level 1
public Paint getPaint ()

Returns the Paint used to draw the shape.

Returns
Paint

getShaderFactory

Added in API level 1
public ShapeDrawable.ShaderFactory getShaderFactory ()

Returns the ShaderFactory used by this ShapeDrawable for requesting a Shader.

Returns
ShapeDrawable.ShaderFactory

getShape

Added in API level 1
public Shape getShape ()

Returns the Shape of this ShapeDrawable.

Returns
Shape

hasFocusStateSpecified

Added in API level 31
public boolean hasFocusStateSpecified ()

Indicates whether this drawable has at least one state spec explicitly specifying R.attr.state_focused.

Note: A View uses a Drawable instance as its background and it changes its appearance based on a state. On keyboard devices, it should specify its R.attr.state_focused to make sure the user knows which view is holding the focus.

Returns
boolean true if R.attr.state_focused is specified for this drawable.

inflate

Added in API level 21
public void inflate (Resources r, 
                XmlPullParser parser, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                Resources.Theme theme)

Inflate this Drawable from an XML resource optionally styled by a theme. This can't be called more than once for each Drawable. Note that framework may have called this once to create the Drawable instance from XML resource.

Parameters
r Resources: Resources used to resolve attribute values This value cannot be null.

parser XmlPullParser: XML parser from which to inflate this Drawable This value cannot be null.

attrs AttributeSet: Base set of attribute values This value cannot be null.

theme Resources.Theme: Theme to apply, may be null

Throws
IOException
XmlPullParserException

isStateful

Added in API level 1
public boolean isStateful ()

Indicates whether this drawable will change its appearance based on state. Clients can use this to determine whether it is necessary to calculate their state and call setState.

Returns
boolean True if this drawable changes its appearance based on state, false otherwise.

mutate

Added in API level 3
public Drawable mutate ()

Make this drawable mutable. This operation cannot be reversed. A mutable drawable is guaranteed to not share its state with any other drawable. This is especially useful when you need to modify properties of drawables loaded from resources. By default, all drawables instances loaded from the same resource share a common state; if you modify the state of one instance, all the other instances will receive the same modification. Calling this method on a mutable Drawable will have no effect.

Returns
Drawable This drawable. This value cannot be null.

setAlpha

Added in API level 1
public void setAlpha (int alpha)

Set the alpha level for this drawable [0..255]. Note that this drawable also has a color in its paint, which has an alpha as well. These two values are automatically combined during drawing. Thus if the color's alpha is 75% (i.e. 192) and the drawable's alpha is 50% (i.e. 128), then the combined alpha that will be used during drawing will be 37.5% (i.e. 96).

Parameters
alpha int: Value is between 0 and 255 inclusive

setColorFilter

Added in API level 1
public void setColorFilter (ColorFilter colorFilter)

Specify an optional color filter for the drawable.

If a Drawable has a ColorFilter, each output pixel of the Drawable's drawing contents will be modified by the color filter before it is blended onto the render target of a Canvas.

Pass null to remove any existing color filter.

Note: Setting a non-null color filter disables tint.

Parameters
colorFilter ColorFilter: The color filter to apply, or null to remove the existing color filter

setDither

Added in API level 1
public void setDither (boolean dither)

This method is deprecated.
This property is ignored.

Parameters
s Shape

setTintBlendMode

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

Specifies a tint blending mode for this drawable.

Defines how this drawable's tint color should be blended into the drawable before it is drawn to screen. Default tint mode is BlendMode#SRC_IN.

Note: Setting a color filter via setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter)

Parameters
blendMode BlendMode: This value cannot be null.

setTintList

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

Specifies tint color for this drawable as a color state list.

A Drawable's drawing content will be blended together with its tint before it is drawn to the screen. This functions similarly to setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode).

Note: Setting a color filter via setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter) or setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode) overrides tint.

Parameters
tint ColorStateList: Color state list to use for tinting this drawable, or null to clear the tint
