PopupWindow

public class PopupWindow
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.widget.PopupWindow


This class represents a popup window that can be used to display an arbitrary view. The popup window is a floating container that appears on top of the current activity.

Animation

On all versions of Android, popup window enter and exit animations may be specified by calling setAnimationStyle(int) and passing the resource ID for an animation style that defines windowEnterAnimation and windowExitAnimation. For example, passing R.style.Animation_Dialog will give a scale and alpha animation.
A window animation style may also be specified in the popup window's style XML via the popupAnimationStyle attribute.

Starting with API 23, more complex popup window enter and exit transitions may be specified by calling either setEnterTransition(android.transition.Transition) or setExitTransition(android.transition.Transition) and passing a Transition.
Popup enter and exit transitions may also be specified in the popup window's style XML via the popupEnterTransition and popupExitTransition attributes, respectively.

setSplitTouchEnabled

Added in API level 11
public void setSplitTouchEnabled (boolean enabled)

Allows the popup window to split touches across other windows that also support split touch. When this flag is false, the first pointer that goes down determines the window to which all subsequent touches go until all pointers go up. When this flag is true, each pointer (not necessarily the first) that goes down determines the window to which all subsequent touches of that pointer will go until that pointer goes up thereby enabling touches with multiple pointers to be split across multiple windows.

Parameters
enabled boolean: true if the split touches should be enabled, false otherwise

setTouchInterceptor

Added in API level 3
public void setTouchInterceptor (View.OnTouchListener l)

Set a callback for all touch events being dispatched to the popup window.

Parameters
l View.OnTouchListener

setTouchModal

Added in API level 29
public void setTouchModal (boolean touchModal)

Set whether this window is touch modal or if outside touches will be sent to other windows behind it.

If the popup is showing, calling this method will take effect only the next time the popup is shown or through a manual call to one of the update() methods.

Parameters
touchModal boolean: true to sent all outside touches to this window, false to other windows behind it

setTouchable

Added in API level 3
public void setTouchable (boolean touchable)

Changes the touchability of the popup window. When touchable, the window will receive touch events, otherwise touch events will go to the window below it. By default the window is touchable.

If the popup is showing, calling this method will take effect only the next time the popup is shown or through a manual call to one of the update() methods.

Parameters
touchable boolean: true if the popup should receive touch events, false otherwise

setWidth

Added in API level 1
public void setWidth (int width)

Sets the popup's requested width. May be a layout constant such as LayoutParams#WRAP_CONTENT or LayoutParams#MATCH_PARENT.

The actual size of the popup may depend on other factors such as clipping and window layout.

If the popup is showing, calling this method will take effect the next time the popup is shown.

Parameters
width int: the popup width in pixels or a layout constant

setWindowLayoutMode

Added in API level 3
Deprecated in API level 23
public void setWindowLayoutMode (int widthSpec, 
                int heightSpec)

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
Use setWidth(int) and setHeight(int).

Change the width and height measure specs that are given to the window manager by the popup. By default these are 0, meaning that the current width or height is requested as an explicit size from the window manager. You can supply ViewGroup.LayoutParams#WRAP_CONTENT or ViewGroup.LayoutParams#MATCH_PARENT to have that measure spec supplied instead, replacing the absolute width and height that has been set in the popup.

If the popup is showing, calling this method will take effect only the next time the popup is shown.

Parameters
widthSpec int: an explicit width measure spec mode, either ViewGroup.LayoutParams#WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams#MATCH_PARENT, or 0 to use the absolute width.

heightSpec int: an explicit height measure spec mode, either ViewGroup.LayoutParams#WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams#MATCH_PARENT, or 0 to use the absolute height.

setWindowLayoutType

Added in API level 23
public void setWindowLayoutType (int layoutType)

Set the layout type for this window.

See WindowManager.LayoutParams#type for possible values.

Parameters
layoutType int: Layout type for this window.

showAsDropDown

Added in API level 1
public void showAsDropDown (View anchor)

Display the content view in a popup window anchored to the bottom-left corner of the anchor view. If there is not enough room on screen to show the popup in its entirety, this method tries to find a parent scroll view to scroll. If no parent scroll view can be scrolled, the bottom-left corner of the popup is pinned at the top left corner of the anchor view.

Parameters
anchor View: the view on which to pin the popup window

showAsDropDown

Added in API level 19
public void showAsDropDown (View anchor, 
                int xoff, 
                int yoff, 
                int gravity)

Displays the content view in a popup window anchored to the corner of another view. The window is positioned according to the specified gravity and offset by the specified x and y coordinates.

If there is not enough room on screen to show the popup in its entirety, this method tries to find a parent scroll view to scroll. If no parent view can be scrolled, the specified vertical gravity will be ignored and the popup will anchor itself such that it is visible.

If the view later scrolls to move anchor to a different location, the popup will be moved correspondingly.

Parameters
anchor View: the view on which to pin the popup window

xoff int: A horizontal offset from the anchor in pixels

yoff int: A vertical offset from the anchor in pixels

gravity int: Alignment of the popup relative to the anchor

showAsDropDown

Added in API level 1
public void showAsDropDown (View anchor, 
                int xoff, 
                int yoff)

Display the content view in a popup window anchored to the bottom-left corner of the anchor view offset by the specified x and y coordinates. If there is not enough room on screen to show the popup in its entirety, this method tries to find a parent scroll view to scroll. If no parent scroll view can be scrolled, the bottom-left corner of the popup is pinned at the top left corner of the anchor view.

If the view later scrolls to move anchor to a different location, the popup will be moved correspondingly.

Parameters
anchor View: the view on which to pin the popup window

xoff int: A horizontal offset from the anchor in pixels

yoff int: A vertical offset from the anchor in pixels

                int gravity, 
                int x, 
                int y)

Display the content view in a popup window at the specified location. If the popup window cannot fit on screen, it will be clipped. See WindowManager.LayoutParams for more information on how gravity and the x and y parameters are related. Specifying a gravity of Gravity.NO_GRAVITY is similar to specifying Gravity.LEFT | Gravity.TOP.

Parameters
parent View: a parent view to get the View.getWindowToken() token from

gravity int: the gravity which controls the placement of the popup window

x int: the popup's x location offset

y int: the popup's y location offset
