PatternPathMotion


public class PatternPathMotion
extends PathMotion

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.transition.PathMotion
     ↳ android.transition.PatternPathMotion


A PathMotion that takes a Path pattern and applies it to the separation between two points. The starting point of the Path will be moved to the origin and the end point will be scaled and rotated so that it matches with the target end point.

This may be used in XML as an element inside a transition.

Summary

XML attributes

android:patternPathData The path string describing the pattern to use for the PathPathMotion. 

Public constructors

PatternPathMotion()

Constructs a PatternPathMotion with a straight-line pattern.

PatternPathMotion(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
PatternPathMotion(Path patternPath)

Creates a PatternPathMotion with the Path defining a pattern of motion between two coordinates.

Public methods

Path getPath(float startX, float startY, float endX, float endY)

Provide a Path to interpolate between two points (startX, startY) and (endX, endY).

Path getPatternPath()

Returns the Path defining a pattern of motion between two coordinates.

void setPatternPath(Path patternPath)

Sets the Path defining a pattern of motion between two coordinates.

PatternPathMotion

Added in API level 21
public PatternPathMotion (Path patternPath)

Creates a PatternPathMotion with the Path defining a pattern of motion between two coordinates. The pattern will be translated, rotated, and scaled to fit between the start and end points. The pattern must not be empty and must have the end point differ from the start point.

Parameters
patternPath Path: A Path to be used as a pattern for two-dimensional motion.

Public methods

getPath

Added in API level 21
public Path getPath (float startX, 
                float startY, 
                float endX, 
                float endY)

Provide a Path to interpolate between two points (startX, startY) and (endX, endY). This allows controlled curved motion along two dimensions.

Parameters
startX float: The x coordinate of the starting point.

startY float: The y coordinate of the starting point.

endX float: The x coordinate of the ending point.

endY float: The y coordinate of the ending point.

Returns
Path A Path along which the points should be interpolated. The returned Path must start at point (startX, startY), typically using Path.moveTo(float, float) and end at (endX, endY).

getPatternPath

Added in API level 21
public Path getPatternPath ()

Returns the Path defining a pattern of motion between two coordinates. The pattern will be translated, rotated, and scaled to fit between the start and end points. The pattern must not be empty and must have the end point differ from the start point.

setPatternPath

Added in API level 21
public void setPatternPath (Path patternPath)

Sets the Path defining a pattern of motion between two coordinates. The pattern will be translated, rotated, and scaled to fit between the start and end points. The pattern must not be empty and must have the end point differ from the start point.
