RowSection.Builder

@ExperimentalCarApi
public final class RowSection.Builder extends Section.BaseBuilder

java.lang.Object
   ↳ androidx.car.app.model.Section.BaseBuilder
     ↳ androidx.car.app.model.RowSection.Builder

A builder that constructs RowSection instances.

Upon building, this class validates the following:

  • If this section is set as a selection group, the given initialSelectedIndex cannot be greater than the size of the list (unless the list is empty, in which case this value is ignored)
  • If this section is set as a selection group, none of the added Rows can have a setToggle set
  • Each Row must conform to ROW_CONSTRAINTS_FULL_LIST

setAsSelectionGroup

Added in 1.7.0-beta01
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public @NonNull RowSection.Builder setAsSelectionGroup(int initialSelectedIndex)

Sets this entire RowSection as a selection group when passed a non-negative integer correlating to a valid index within the list of items added. The UI behaves equivalently to a radio button group where a single item is called out (either by an actual radio button, or through some other highlighting). The host will initially highlight the initialSelectedIndex's item and automatically update the highlight to other items if selected by the user. The app should handle user selections via setOnClickListener.

This cannot be used in conjunction with setToggle.

Parameters
int initialSelectedIndex

the index of the item to be selected when the template is first rendered
