getAccessibilityClassName

Added in API level 23
public CharSequence getAccessibilityClassName ()

Return the class name of this object to be used for accessibility purposes. Subclasses should only override this if they are implementing something that should be seen as a completely new class of view when used by accessibility, unrelated to the class it is deriving from. This is used to fill in AccessibilityNodeInfo.setClassName.

Returns
CharSequence

getAdapter

Added in API level 11
public Adapter getAdapter ()

Returns the adapter currently associated with this widget.

Returns
Adapter The adapter used to provide this view's content.

getBaseline

Added in API level 11
public int getBaseline ()

Return the offset of the widget's text baseline from the widget's top boundary. If this widget does not support baseline alignment, this method returns -1.

Returns
int the offset of the baseline within the widget's bounds or -1 if baseline alignment is not supported

getCurrentView

Added in API level 11
public View getCurrentView ()

Returns the View corresponding to the currently displayed child.

Returns
View The View currently displayed.

getDisplayedChild

Added in API level 11
public int getDisplayedChild ()

Returns the index of the currently displayed child view.

Returns
int

getInAnimation

Added in API level 11
public ObjectAnimator getInAnimation ()

Returns the current animation used to animate a View that enters the screen.

Returns
ObjectAnimator An Animation or null if none is set.

getOutAnimation

Added in API level 11
public ObjectAnimator getOutAnimation ()

Returns the current animation used to animate a View that exits the screen.

Returns
ObjectAnimator An Animation or null if none is set.

getSelectedView

Added in API level 11
public View getSelectedView ()

Returns
View The view corresponding to the currently selected item, or null if nothing is selected

onRemoteAdapterConnected

Added in API level 11
public boolean onRemoteAdapterConnected ()

Called back when the adapter connects to the RemoteViewsService.

Returns
boolean

onRemoteAdapterDisconnected

Added in API level 11
public void onRemoteAdapterDisconnected ()

Called back when the adapter disconnects from the RemoteViewsService.

onRestoreInstanceState

Added in API level 11
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().

onSaveInstanceState

Added in API level 11
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.

onTouchEvent

Added in API level 11
public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev)

Implement this method to handle touch screen motion events.

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.

setAdapter

Added in API level 11
public void setAdapter (Adapter adapter)

Sets the adapter that provides the data and the views to represent the data in this widget.

Parameters
adapter Adapter: The adapter to use to create this view's content.

setAnimateFirstView

Added in API level 11
public void setAnimateFirstView (boolean animate)

Indicates whether the current View should be animated the first time the ViewAnimation is displayed.

Parameters
animate boolean: True to animate the current View the first time it is displayed, false otherwise.

setDisplayedChild

Added in API level 11
public void setDisplayedChild (int whichChild)

Sets which child view will be displayed.

Parameters
whichChild int: the index of the child view to display

setInAnimation

setOutAnimation

Added in API level 11
public void setOutAnimation (Context context, 
                int resourceID)

Specifies the animation used to animate a View that exit the screen.

Parameters
context Context: The application's environment.

resourceID int: The resource id of the animation.

setRemoteViewsAdapter

Added in API level 11
public void setRemoteViewsAdapter (Intent intent)

Sets up this AdapterViewAnimator to use a remote views adapter which connects to a RemoteViewsService through the specified intent.

Parameters
intent Intent: the intent used to identify the RemoteViewsService for the adapter to connect to.

setSelection

Added in API level 11
public void setSelection (int position)

Sets the currently selected item. To support accessibility subclasses that override this method must invoke the overridden super method first.

Parameters
position int: Index (starting at 0) of the data item to be selected.

showNext

Protected methods

onLayout

Added in API level 11
protected void onLayout (boolean changed, 
                int left, 
                int top, 
                int right, 
                int bottom)

Called from layout when this view should assign a size and position to each of its children. Derived classes with children should override this method and call layout on each of their children.

Parameters
changed boolean: This is a new size or position for this view

left int: Left position, relative to parent

top int: Top position, relative to parent

right int: Right position, relative to parent

bottom int: Bottom position, relative to parent

onMeasure

Added in API level 11
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.
