Inherited constants
From class android.widget.AdapterView int INVALID_POSITION Represents an invalid position. long INVALID_ROW_ID Represents an empty or invalid row id int ITEM_VIEW_TYPE_HEADER_OR_FOOTER The item view type returned by Adapter.getItemViewType(int) when the item is a header or footer. int ITEM_VIEW_TYPE_IGNORE The item view type returned by Adapter.getItemViewType(int) when the adapter does not want the item's view recycled.
From class android.view.ViewGroup int CLIP_TO_PADDING_MASK We clip to padding when FLAG_CLIP_TO_PADDING and FLAG_PADDING_NOT_NULL are set at the same time. int FOCUS_AFTER_DESCENDANTS This view will get focus only if none of its descendants want it. int FOCUS_BEFORE_DESCENDANTS This view will get focus before any of its descendants. int FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS This view will block any of its descendants from getting focus, even if they are focusable. int LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS This constant is a layoutMode. int LAYOUT_MODE_OPTICAL_BOUNDS This constant is a layoutMode. int PERSISTENT_ALL_CACHES This constant was deprecated in API level 28. The view drawing cache was largely made obsolete with the introduction of hardware-accelerated rendering in API 11. With hardware-acceleration, intermediate cache layers are largely unnecessary and can easily result in a net loss in performance due to the cost of creating and updating the layer. In the rare cases where caching layers are useful, such as for alpha animations, View.setLayerType(int, android.graphics.Paint) handles this with hardware rendering. For software-rendered snapshots of a small part of the View hierarchy or individual Views it is recommended to create a Canvas from either a Bitmap or Picture and call View.draw(android.graphics.Canvas) on the View. However these software-rendered usages are discouraged and have compatibility issues with hardware-only rendering features such as Config.HARDWARE bitmaps, real-time shadows, and outline clipping.

XML attributes

android:cacheColorHint

Indicates that this list will always be drawn on top of solid, single-color opaque background. This allows the list to optimize drawing.

May be a color value, in the form of "#rgb", "#argb", "#rrggbb", or "#aarrggbb".

android:choiceMode

Defines the choice behavior for the view. By default, lists do not have any choice behavior. By setting the choiceMode to singleChoice, the list allows up to one item to be in a chosen state. By setting the choiceMode to multipleChoice, the list allows any number of items to be chosen. Finally, by setting the choiceMode to multipleChoiceModal the list allows any number of items to be chosen in a special selection mode. The application will supply a AbsListView.MultiChoiceModeListener using AbsListView.setMultiChoiceModeListener(MultiChoiceModeListener) to control the selection mode. This uses the ActionMode API.

Must be one of the following constant values.

Constant	Value	Description
multipleChoice	2	The list allows multiple choices.
multipleChoiceModal	3	The list allows multiple choices in a custom selection mode.
none	0	Normal list that does not indicate choices.
singleChoice	1	The list allows up to one choice.

android:drawSelectorOnTop

When set to true, the selector will be drawn over the selected item. Otherwise the selector is drawn behind the selected item. The default value is false.

May be a boolean value, such as "true" or "false".

Related methods:

• setDrawSelectorOnTop(boolean)

android:fastScrollEnabled

Enables the fast scroll thumb that can be dragged to quickly scroll through the list.

May be a boolean value, such as "true" or "false".

android:listSelector

Drawable used to indicate the currently selected item in the list.

May be a reference to another resource, in the form "@[+][package:]type/name" or a theme attribute in the form "?[package:]type/name".

May be a color value, in the form of "#rgb", "#argb", "#rrggbb", or "#aarrggbb".

Related methods:

• setSelector(int)

android:scrollingCache

When set to true, the list uses a drawing cache during scrolling. This makes the rendering faster but uses more memory. The default value is true.

May be a boolean value, such as "true" or "false".

android:smoothScrollbar

When set to true, the list will use a more refined calculation method based on the pixels height of the items visible on screen. This property is set to true by default but should be set to false if your adapter will display items of varying heights. When this property is set to true and your adapter displays items of varying heights, the scrollbar thumb will change size as the user scrolls through the list. When set to false, the list will use only the number of items in the adapter and the number of items visible on screen to determine the scrollbar's properties.

May be a boolean value, such as "true" or "false".

Related methods:

• setSmoothScrollbarEnabled(boolean)

android:stackFromBottom

Used by ListView and GridView to stack their content from the bottom.

May be a boolean value, such as "true" or "false".

android:textFilterEnabled

When set to true, the list will filter results as the user types. The List's adapter must support the Filterable interface for this to work.

May be a boolean value, such as "true" or "false".

android:transcriptMode

Sets the transcript mode for the list. In transcript mode, the list scrolls to the bottom to make new items visible when they are added.

Must be one of the following constant values.

Constant	Value	Description
alwaysScroll	2	The list will automatically scroll to the bottom, no matter what items are currently visible.
disabled	0	Disables transcript mode. This is the default value.
normal	1	The list will automatically scroll to the bottom when a data set change notification is received and only if the last item is already visible on screen.

onGenericMotionEvent

Added in API level 12

public boolean onGenericMotionEvent (MotionEvent event)

Implement this method to handle generic motion events.

Generic motion events describe joystick movements, hover events from mouse or stylus devices, trackpad touches, scroll wheel movements and other motion events not handled by onTouchEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) or onTrackballEvent(android.view.MotionEvent). The source of the motion event specifies the class of input that was received. Implementations of this method must examine the bits in the source before processing the event. The following code example shows how this is done.

Generic motion events with source class InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER are delivered to the view under the pointer. All other generic motion events are delivered to the focused view.

 public boolean onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event) {
     if (event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK)) {
         if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
             // process the joystick movement...
             return true;
         }
     }
     if (event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER)) {
         switch (event.getAction()) {
             case MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_MOVE:
                 // process the hover movement...
                 return true;
             case MotionEvent.ACTION_SCROLL:
                 // process the scroll wheel movement...
                 return true;
         }
     }
     return super.onGenericMotionEvent(event);
 }

Parameters
event	MotionEvent: The generic motion event being processed.

Returns
boolean	True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

onGlobalLayout

Added in API level 1

public void onGlobalLayout ()

Callback method to be invoked when the global layout state or the visibility of views within the view tree changes

onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfoForItem

Added in API level 19

public void onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfoForItem (View view, 
                int position, 
                AccessibilityNodeInfo info)

Initializes an AccessibilityNodeInfo with information about a particular item in the list.

Parameters
view	View: View representing the list item.
position	int: Position of the list item within the adapter.
info	AccessibilityNodeInfo: Node info to populate.

onInterceptHoverEvent

Added in API level 14

public boolean onInterceptHoverEvent (MotionEvent event)

Implement this method to intercept hover events before they are handled by child views.

This method is called before dispatching a hover event to a child of the view group or to the view group's own View.onHoverEvent(MotionEvent) to allow the view group a chance to intercept the hover event. This method can also be used to watch all pointer motions that occur within the bounds of the view group even when the pointer is hovering over a child of the view group rather than over the view group itself.

The view group can prevent its children from receiving hover events by implementing this method and returning true to indicate that it would like to intercept hover events. The view group must continuously return true from onInterceptHoverEvent(MotionEvent) for as long as it wishes to continue intercepting hover events from its children.

Interception preserves the invariant that at most one view can be hovered at a time by transferring hover focus from the currently hovered child to the view group or vice-versa as needed.

If this method returns true and a child is already hovered, then the child view will first receive a hover exit event and then the view group itself will receive a hover enter event in View.onHoverEvent(MotionEvent). Likewise, if this method had previously returned true to intercept hover events and instead returns false while the pointer is hovering within the bounds of one of a child, then the view group will first receive a hover exit event in View.onHoverEvent(MotionEvent) and then the hovered child will receive a hover enter event.

The default implementation handles mouse hover on the scroll bars.

Parameters
event	MotionEvent: The motion event that describes the hover.

Returns
boolean	True if the view group would like to intercept the hover event and prevent its children from receiving it.

onInterceptTouchEvent

Added in API level 1

public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev)

Implement this method to intercept all touch screen motion events. This allows you to watch events as they are dispatched to your children, and take ownership of the current gesture at any point.

Using this function takes some care, as it has a fairly complicated interaction with View.onTouchEvent(MotionEvent), and using it requires implementing that method as well as this one in the correct way. Events will be received in the following order:

1. You will receive the down event here.
2. The down event will be handled either by a child of this view group, or given to your own onTouchEvent() method to handle; this means you should implement onTouchEvent() to return true, so you will continue to see the rest of the gesture (instead of looking for a parent view to handle it). Also, by returning true from onTouchEvent(), you will not receive any following events in onInterceptTouchEvent() and all touch processing must happen in onTouchEvent() like normal.
3. For as long as you return false from this function, each following event (up to and including the final up) will be delivered first here and then to the target's onTouchEvent().
4. If you return true from here, you will not receive any following events: the target view will receive the same event but with the action MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL, and all further events will be delivered to your onTouchEvent() method and no longer appear here.

Parameters
ev	MotionEvent: The motion event being dispatched down the hierarchy.

Returns
boolean	Return true to steal motion events from the children and have them dispatched to this ViewGroup through onTouchEvent(). The current target will receive an ACTION_CANCEL event, and no further messages will be delivered here.

onKeyDown

Added in API level 1

public boolean onKeyDown (int keyCode, 
                KeyEvent event)

Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyDown(): perform press of the view when KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER or KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER is released, if the view is enabled and clickable.

Key presses in software keyboards will generally NOT trigger this listener, although some may elect to do so in some situations. Do not rely on this to catch software key presses.

Parameters
keyCode	int: a key code that represents the button pressed, from KeyEvent
event	KeyEvent: the KeyEvent object that defines the button action

Returns
boolean	If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

onKeyUp

Added in API level 1

public boolean onKeyUp (int keyCode, 
                KeyEvent event)

Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyUp(): perform clicking of the view when KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER or KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE is released.

Key presses in software keyboards will generally NOT trigger this listener, although some may elect to do so in some situations. Do not rely on this to catch software key presses.

Parameters
keyCode	int: A key code that represents the button pressed, from KeyEvent.
event	KeyEvent: The KeyEvent object that defines the button action.

Returns
boolean	If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

onNestedFling

Added in API level 21

public boolean onNestedFling (View target, 
                float velocityX, 
                float velocityY, 
                boolean consumed)

Request a fling from a nested scroll.

This method signifies 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
target	View: View that initiated the nested scroll This value cannot be null.
velocityX	float: Horizontal velocity in pixels per second
velocityY	float: Vertical velocity in pixels per second
consumed	boolean: true if the child consumed the fling, false otherwise

Returns
boolean	true if this parent consumed or otherwise reacted to the fling

onNestedScroll

Added in API level 21

public void onNestedScroll (View target, 
                int dxConsumed, 
                int dyConsumed, 
                int dxUnconsumed, 
                int dyUnconsumed)

React to a nested scroll in progress.

This method will be called when the ViewParent's current nested scrolling child view dispatches a nested scroll event. To receive calls to this method the ViewParent must have previously returned true for a call to onStartNestedScroll(android.view.View, android.view.View, int).

Both the consumed and unconsumed portions of the scroll distance are reported to the ViewParent. An implementation may choose to use the consumed portion to match or chase scroll position of multiple child elements, for example. The unconsumed portion may be used to allow continuous dragging of multiple scrolling or draggable elements, such as scrolling a list within a vertical drawer where the drawer begins dragging once the edge of inner scrolling content is reached.

Parameters
target	View: The descendent view controlling the nested scroll This value cannot be null.
dxConsumed	int: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels already consumed by target
dyConsumed	int: Vertical scroll distance in pixels already consumed by target
dxUnconsumed	int: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by target
dyUnconsumed	int: Vertical scroll distance in pixels not consumed by target

onNestedScrollAccepted

Added in API level 21

public void onNestedScrollAccepted (View child, 
                View target, 
                int axes)

React to the successful claiming of a nested scroll operation.

This method will be called after onStartNestedScroll returns true. It offers an opportunity for the view and its superclasses to perform initial configuration for the nested scroll. Implementations of this method should always call their superclass's implementation of this method if one is present.

Parameters
child	View: Direct child of this ViewParent containing target This value cannot be null.
target	View: View that initiated the nested scroll This value cannot be null.
axes	int: Flags consisting of View.SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL, View.SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL or both

onProvideContentCaptureStructure

Added in API level 30

public void onProvideContentCaptureStructure (ViewStructure structure, 
                int flags)

Populates a ViewStructure for content capture.

This method is called after a view that is eligible for content capture (for example, if it isImportantForContentCapture(), an intelligence service is enabled for the user, and the activity rendering the view is enabled for content capture) is laid out and is visible. The populated structure is then passed to the service through ContentCaptureSession.notifyViewAppeared(ViewStructure).

The default implementation of this method sets the most relevant properties based on related View methods, and views in the standard Android widgets library also override it to set their relevant properties. Therefore, if overriding this method, it is recommended to call super.onProvideContentCaptureStructure().

Note: views that manage a virtual structure under this view must populate just the node representing this view and return right away, then asynchronously report (not necessarily in the UI thread) when the children nodes appear, disappear or have their text changed by calling ContentCaptureSession.notifyViewAppeared(ViewStructure), ContentCaptureSession.notifyViewDisappeared(AutofillId), and ContentCaptureSession.notifyViewTextChanged(AutofillId, CharSequence) respectively. The structure for a child must be created using ContentCaptureSession.newVirtualViewStructure(AutofillId, long), and the autofillId for a child can be obtained either through childStructure.getAutofillId() or ContentCaptureSession.newAutofillId(AutofillId, long).

When the virtual view hierarchy represents a web page, you should also:

• Call ContentCaptureManager.getContentCaptureConditions() to infer content capture events should be generate for that URL.
• Create a new ContentCaptureSession child for every HTML element that renders a new URL (like an IFRAME) and use that session to notify events from that subtree.

Note: the following methods of the structure will be ignored:

• ViewStructure.setChildCount(int)
• ViewStructure.addChildCount(int)
• ViewStructure.getChildCount()
• ViewStructure.newChild(int)
• ViewStructure.asyncNewChild(int)
• ViewStructure.asyncCommit()
• ViewStructure.setWebDomain(String)
• ViewStructure.newHtmlInfoBuilder(String)
• ViewStructure.setHtmlInfo(android.view.ViewStructure.HtmlInfo)
• ViewStructure.setDataIsSensitive(boolean)
• ViewStructure.setAlpha(float)
• ViewStructure.setElevation(float)
• ViewStructure.setTransformation(Matrix)

This method will initialize the fields of the ViewStructure using the base implementation in View. On API level 33 and higher, it may also write information about the positions of active views to the extras bundle provided by the ViewStructure. NOTE: When overriding this method on API level 33, if not calling super() or if changing the logic for child views, be sure to provide values for the first active child view position and the list of active child views in the ViewStructure's extras Bundle using the "android.view.ViewStructure.extra.ACTIVE_CHILDREN_IDS" and "android.view.ViewStructure.extra.FIRST_ACTIVE_POSITION" keys.

Parameters
structure	ViewStructure: ViewStructure to be filled in with structured view data. This value cannot be null.
flags	int: optional flags.

• View.AUTOFILL_FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS

onRemoteAdapterConnected

Returns
boolean

onRemoteAdapterDisconnected

Added in API level 11

public void onRemoteAdapterDisconnected ()

Called back when the adapter disconnects from the RemoteViewsService.

onResolvePointerIcon

Added in API level 24

public PointerIcon onResolvePointerIcon (MotionEvent event, 
                int pointerIndex)

Resolve the pointer icon that should be used for specified pointer in the motion event. The default implementation will resolve the pointer icon to one set using setPointerIcon(android.view.PointerIcon) for mouse devices. Subclasses may override this to customize the icon for the given pointer. For example, to always show the PointerIcon.TYPE_HANDWRITING icon for a stylus pointer, the event can be resolved in the following way:

 @Override
 public PointerIcon onResolvePointerIcon(MotionEvent event, int pointerIndex) {
     final int toolType = event.getToolType(pointerIndex);
     if (!event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_MOUSE)
             && event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_STYLUS)
             && (toolType == MotionEvent.TOOL_TYPE_STYLUS
                     || toolType == MotionEvent.TOOL_TYPE_ERASER)) {
         // Show this pointer icon only if this pointer is a stylus.
         return PointerIcon.getSystemIcon(mContext, PointerIcon.TYPE_HANDWRITING);
     }
     // Use the default logic for determining the pointer icon for other non-stylus pointers,
     // like for the mouse cursor.
     return super.onResolvePointerIcon(event, pointerIndex);
 }
 

Parameters
event	MotionEvent: The MotionEvent that requires a pointer icon to be resolved for one of pointers.
pointerIndex	int: The index of the pointer in event for which to retrieve the PointerIcon. This will be between 0 and MotionEvent.getPointerCount().

Returns
PointerIcon	the pointer icon to use for specified pointer, or null if a pointer icon is not specified and the default icon should be used.

onRestoreInstanceState

Added in API level 1

public void onRestoreInstanceState (Parcelable state)

Hook allowing a view to re-apply a representation of its internal state that had previously been generated by onSaveInstanceState(). This function will never be called with a null state.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
state	Parcelable: The frozen state that had previously been returned by onSaveInstanceState().

onRtlPropertiesChanged

Added in API level 17

public void onRtlPropertiesChanged (int layoutDirection)

Called when any RTL property (layout direction or text direction or text alignment) has been changed. Subclasses need to override this method to take care of cached information that depends on the resolved layout direction, or to inform child views that inherit their layout direction. The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters
layoutDirection	int: the direction of the layout Value is View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR, or View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL

onSaveInstanceState

Added in API level 1

public Parcelable onSaveInstanceState ()

Hook allowing a view to generate a representation of its internal state that can later be used to create a new instance with that same state. This state should only contain information that is not persistent or can not be reconstructed later. For example, you will never store your current position on screen because that will be computed again when a new instance of the view is placed in its view hierarchy.

Some examples of things you may store here: the current cursor position in a text view (but usually not the text itself since that is stored in a content provider or other persistent storage), the currently selected item in a list view.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Returns
Parcelable	Returns a Parcelable object containing the view's current dynamic state, or null if there is nothing interesting to save.

onStartNestedScroll

Added in API level 21

public boolean onStartNestedScroll (View child, 
                View target, 
                int nestedScrollAxes)

React to a descendant view initiating a nestable scroll operation, claiming the nested scroll operation if appropriate.

This method will be called in response to a descendant view invoking View.startNestedScroll(int). Each parent up the view hierarchy will be given an opportunity to respond and claim the nested scrolling operation by returning true.

This method may be overridden by ViewParent implementations to indicate when the view is willing to support a nested scrolling operation that is about to begin. If it returns true, this ViewParent will become the target view's nested scrolling parent for the duration of the scroll operation in progress. When the nested scroll is finished this ViewParent will receive a call to onStopNestedScroll(android.view.View).

Parameters
child	View: Direct child of this ViewParent containing target This value cannot be null.
target	View: View that initiated the nested scroll This value cannot be null.
nestedScrollAxes	int: Flags consisting of View.SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL, View.SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL or both

Returns
boolean	true if this ViewParent accepts the nested scroll operation

onTextChanged

Added in API level 1

public void onTextChanged (CharSequence s, 
                int start, 
                int before, 
                int count)

For our text watcher that is associated with the text filter. Performs the actual filtering as the text changes, and takes care of hiding and showing the popup displaying the currently entered filter text.

Parameters
s	CharSequence
start	int
before	int
count	int

onTouchEvent

Added in API level 1

public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev)

Implement this method to handle pointer events.

This method is called to handle motion events where pointers are down on the view. For example, this could include touchscreen touches, stylus touches, or click-and-drag events from a mouse. However, it is not called for motion events that do not involve pointers being down, such as hover events or mouse scroll wheel movements.

If this method is used to detect click actions, it is recommended that the actions be performed by implementing and calling performClick(). This will ensure consistent system behavior, including:

• obeying click sound preferences
• dispatching OnClickListener calls
• handling ACTION_CLICK when accessibility features are enabled

Parameters
ev	MotionEvent: The motion event.

Returns
boolean	True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

onTouchModeChanged

Added in API level 1

public void onTouchModeChanged (boolean isInTouchMode)

Callback method to be invoked when the touch mode changes.

Parameters
isInTouchMode	boolean: True if the view hierarchy is now in touch mode, false otherwise.

onWindowFocusChanged

Added in API level 1

public void onWindowFocusChanged (boolean hasWindowFocus)

Called when the window containing this view gains or loses focus. Note that this is separate from view focus: to receive key events, both your view and its window must have focus. If a window is displayed on top of yours that takes input focus, then your own window will lose focus but the view focus will remain unchanged.

Parameters
hasWindowFocus	boolean: True if the window containing this view now has focus, false otherwise.

performItemClick

Added in API level 1

public boolean performItemClick (View view, 
                int position, 
                long id)

Call the OnItemClickListener, if it is defined. Performs all normal actions associated with clicking: reporting accessibility event, playing a sound, etc.

Parameters
view	View: The view within the AdapterView that was clicked.
position	int: The position of the view in the adapter.
id	long: The row id of the item that was clicked.

Returns
boolean	True if there was an assigned OnItemClickListener that was called, false otherwise is returned.

pointToPosition

Added in API level 1

public int pointToPosition (int x, 
                int y)

Maps a point to a position in the list.

Parameters
x	int: X in local coordinate
y	int: Y in local coordinate

Returns
int	The position of the item which contains the specified point, or AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION if the point does not intersect an item.

pointToRowId

Added in API level 1

public long pointToRowId (int x, 
                int y)

Maps a point to a the rowId of the item which intersects that point.

Parameters
x	int: X in local coordinate
y	int: Y in local coordinate

Returns
long	The rowId of the item which contains the specified point, or AdapterView.INVALID_ROW_ID if the point does not intersect an item.

reclaimViews

Added in API level 1

public void reclaimViews (List<View> views)

Move all views (excluding headers and footers) held by this AbsListView into the supplied List. This includes views displayed on the screen as well as views stored in AbsListView's internal view recycler.

Parameters
views	List: A list into which to put the reclaimed views

requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent

Added in API level 1

public void requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent (boolean disallowIntercept)

Called when a child does not want this parent and its ancestors to intercept touch events with ViewGroup.onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent).

This parent should pass this call onto its parents. This parent must obey this request for the duration of the touch (that is, only clear the flag after this parent has received an up or a cancel.

Parameters
disallowIntercept	boolean: True if the child does not want the parent to intercept touch events.

requestLayout

Added in API level 1

public void requestLayout ()

Call this when something has changed which has invalidated the layout of this view. This will schedule a layout pass of the view tree. This should not be called while the view hierarchy is currently in a layout pass (isInLayout(). If layout is happening, the request may be honored at the end of the current layout pass (and then layout will run again) or after the current frame is drawn and the next layout occurs.

Subclasses which override this method should call the superclass method to handle possible request-during-layout errors correctly.

If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

scrollListBy

Added in API level 19

public void scrollListBy (int y)

Scrolls the list items within the view by a specified number of pixels.

The actual amount of scroll is capped by the list content viewport height which is the list height minus top and bottom paddings minus one pixel.

Parameters
y	int: the amount of pixels to scroll by vertically

setCacheColorHint

Added in API level 1

public void setCacheColorHint (int color)

When set to a non-zero value, the cache color hint indicates that this list is always drawn on top of a solid, single-color, opaque background. Zero means that what's behind this object is translucent (non solid) or is not made of a single color. This hint will not affect any existing background drawable set on this view ( typically set via View.setBackgroundDrawable(android.graphics.drawable.Drawable)).

Parameters
color	int: The background color

setChoiceMode

Added in API level 11

public void setChoiceMode (int choiceMode)

Defines the choice behavior for the List. By default, Lists do not have any choice behavior (CHOICE_MODE_NONE). By setting the choiceMode to CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE, the List allows up to one item to be in a chosen state. By setting the choiceMode to CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE, the list allows any number of items to be chosen.

Parameters
choiceMode	int: One of CHOICE_MODE_NONE, CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE, or CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE

setDrawSelectorOnTop

Added in API level 1

public void setDrawSelectorOnTop (boolean onTop)

Controls whether the selection highlight drawable should be drawn on top of the item or behind it.

Added in API level 1

public void setScrollBarStyle (int style)

Specify the style of the scrollbars. The scrollbars can be overlaid or inset. When inset, they add to the padding of the view. And the scrollbars can be drawn inside the padding area or on the edge of the view. For example, if a view has a background drawable and you want to draw the scrollbars inside the padding specified by the drawable, you can use SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY or SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_INSET. If you want them to appear at the edge of the view, ignoring the padding, then you can use SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY or SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_INSET.

When the scrolling cache is enabled, the caches are kept after the first scrolling. You can manually clear the cache by calling ViewGroup.setChildrenDrawingCacheEnabled(boolean).

Parameters
enabled	boolean: true to enable the scroll cache, false otherwise

See also:

• isScrollingCacheEnabled()
• View.setDrawingCacheEnabled(boolean)

setSelectedChildViewEnabled

Parameters
selectedChildViewEnabled	boolean: true if enabled

setSelectionFromTop

Added in API level 21

public void setSelectionFromTop (int position, 
                int y)

Sets the selected item and positions the selection y pixels from the top edge of the ListView. (If in touch mode, the item will not be selected but it will still be positioned appropriately.)

Parameters
position	int: Index (starting at 0) of the data item to be selected.
y	int: The distance from the top edge of the ListView (plus padding) that the item will be positioned.

setSelector

Added in API level 1

resID	int: A Drawable resource to use as the selection highlight.

setSelector

Added in API level 1

public void setSelector (Drawable sel)

Parameters
sel	Drawable

setSmoothScrollbarEnabled

Added in API level 3

public void setSmoothScrollbarEnabled (boolean enabled)

When smooth scrollbar is enabled, the position and size of the scrollbar thumb is computed based on the number of visible pixels in the visible items. This however assumes that all list items have the same height. If you use a list in which items have different heights, the scrollbar will change appearance as the user scrolls through the list. To avoid this issue, you need to disable this property. When smooth scrollbar is disabled, the position and size of the scrollbar thumb is based solely on the number of items in the adapter and the position of the visible items inside the adapter. This provides a stable scrollbar as the user navigates through a list of items with varying heights.

Related XML Attributes:

• android:smoothScrollbar

Parameters
enabled	boolean: Whether or not to enable smooth scrollbar.

See also:

• setSmoothScrollbarEnabled(boolean)

setStackFromBottom

Padding offsets are added to the fading edges to extend the length of the fade so that it covers pixels drawn inside the padding. Subclasses of this class should override this method if they need to draw content inside the padding.

Returns
boolean	True if padding offset must be applied, false otherwise.

layoutChildren

Added in API level 1

protected void layoutChildren ()

Subclasses must override this method to layout their children.

onAttachedToWindow

Added in API level 1

protected void onAttachedToWindow ()

This is called when the view is attached to a window. At this point it has a Surface and will start drawing. Note that this function is guaranteed to be called before onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas), however it may be called any time before the first onDraw -- including before or after onMeasure(int, int).
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onDetachedFromWindow

Added in API level 1

protected void onDetachedFromWindow ()

This is called when the view is detached from a window. At this point it no longer has a surface for drawing.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onDisplayHint

Added in API level 8

protected void onDisplayHint (int hint)

Gives this view a hint about whether is displayed or not. For instance, when a View moves out of the screen, it might receives a display hint indicating the view is not displayed. Applications should not rely on this hint as there is no guarantee that they will receive one.

Parameters
hint	int: A hint about whether or not this view is displayed: View.VISIBLE or View.INVISIBLE. Value is View.VISIBLE, View.INVISIBLE, or View.GONE

onFocusChanged

Added in API level 1

protected void onFocusChanged (boolean gainFocus, 
                int direction, 
                Rect previouslyFocusedRect)

Called by the view system when the focus state of this view changes. When the focus change event is caused by directional navigation, direction and previouslyFocusedRect provide insight into where the focus is coming from. When overriding, be sure to call up through to the super class so that the standard focus handling will occur.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
gainFocus	boolean: True if the View has focus; false otherwise.
direction	int: The direction focus has moved when requestFocus() is called to give this view focus. Values are View.FOCUS_UP, View.FOCUS_DOWN, View.FOCUS_LEFT, View.FOCUS_RIGHT, View.FOCUS_FORWARD, or View.FOCUS_BACKWARD. It may not always apply, in which case use the default. Value is View.FOCUS_BACKWARD, View.FOCUS_FORWARD, View.FOCUS_LEFT, View.FOCUS_UP, View.FOCUS_RIGHT, or View.FOCUS_DOWN
previouslyFocusedRect	Rect: The rectangle, in this view's coordinate system, of the previously focused view. If applicable, this will be passed in as finer grained information about where the focus is coming from (in addition to direction). Will be null otherwise.

onLayout

Added in API level 1

protected void onLayout (boolean changed, 
                int l, 
                int t, 
                int r, 
                int b)

Subclasses should NOT override this method but layoutChildren() instead.

Parameters
changed	boolean: This is a new size or position for this view
l	int: Left position, relative to parent
t	int: Top position, relative to parent
r	int: Right position, relative to parent
b	int: Bottom position, relative to parent

onMeasure

Added in API level 1

protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, 
                int heightMeasureSpec)

Measure the view and its content to determine the measured width and the measured height. This method is invoked by measure(int, int) and should be overridden by subclasses to provide accurate and efficient measurement of their contents.

CONTRACT: When overriding this method, you must call setMeasuredDimension(int, int) to store the measured width and height of this view. Failure to do so will trigger an IllegalStateException, thrown by measure(int, int). Calling the superclass' onMeasure(int, int) is a valid use.

The base class implementation of measure defaults to the background size, unless a larger size is allowed by the MeasureSpec. Subclasses should override onMeasure(int, int) to provide better measurements of their content.

If this method is overridden, it is the subclass's responsibility to make sure the measured height and width are at least the view's minimum height and width (getSuggestedMinimumHeight() and getSuggestedMinimumWidth()).

Parameters
widthMeasureSpec	int: horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.
heightMeasureSpec	int: vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.

Called by overScrollBy(int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, boolean) to respond to the results of an over-scroll operation.

Parameters
scrollX	int: New X scroll value in pixels
scrollY	int: New Y scroll value in pixels
clampedX	boolean: True if scrollX was clamped to an over-scroll boundary
clampedY	boolean: True if scrollY was clamped to an over-scroll boundary
