This interface should be implemented by View subclasses that wish to support dispatching nested scrolling operations to a cooperating parent ViewGroup.

Classes implementing this interface should create a final instance of a NestedScrollingChildHelper as a field and delegate any View methods to the NestedScrollingChildHelper methods of the same signature.

Views invoking nested scrolling functionality should always do so from the relevant ViewCompat, ViewGroupCompat or ViewParentCompat compatibility shim static methods. This ensures interoperability with nested scrolling views on Android 5.0 Lollipop and newer.

Public methods

dispatchNestedFling

abstract fun dispatchNestedFling(velocityX: Float, velocityY: Float, consumed: Boolean): Boolean

Dispatch a fling to a nested scrolling parent.

This method should be used to indicate 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
velocityX	Float: Horizontal fling velocity in pixels per second
velocityY	Float: Vertical fling velocity in pixels per second
consumed	Float: true if the child consumed the fling, false otherwise

Return
Boolean: true if the nested scrolling parent consumed or otherwise reacted to the fling

dispatchNestedPreFling

abstract fun dispatchNestedPreFling(velocityX: Float, velocityY: Float): Boolean

Dispatch a fling to a nested scrolling parent before it is processed by this view.

Nested pre-fling events are to nested fling events what touch intercept is to touch and what nested pre-scroll is to nested scroll. dispatchNestedPreFling offsets an opportunity for the parent view in a nested fling to fully consume the fling before the child view consumes it. If this method returns true, a nested parent view consumed the fling and this view should not scroll as a result.

For a better user experience, only one view in a nested scrolling chain should consume the fling at a time. If a parent view consumed the fling this method will return false. Custom view implementations should account for this in two ways:

• If a custom view is paged and needs to settle to a fixed page-point, do not call dispatchNestedPreFling; consume the fling and settle to a valid position regardless.
• If a nested parent does consume the fling, this view should not scroll at all, even to settle back to a valid idle position.

Views should also not offer fling velocities to nested parent views along an axis where scrolling is not currently supported; a ScrollView should not offer a horizontal fling velocity to its parents since scrolling along that axis is not permitted and carrying velocity along that motion does not make sense.

Parameters
velocityX	Float: Horizontal fling velocity in pixels per second
velocityY	Float: Vertical fling velocity in pixels per second

Return
Boolean: true if a nested scrolling parent consumed the fling

dispatchNestedPreScroll

abstract fun dispatchNestedPreScroll(dx: Int, dy: Int, @Nullable consumed: IntArray?, @Nullable offsetInWindow: IntArray?): Boolean

Dispatch one step of a nested scroll in progress before this view consumes any portion of it.

Nested pre-scroll events are to nested scroll events what touch intercept is to touch. dispatchNestedPreScroll offers an opportunity for the parent view in a nested scrolling operation to consume some or all of the scroll operation before the child view consumes it.

Parameters
dx	Int: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels
dy	Int: Vertical scroll distance in pixels
consumed	Int: Output. If not null, consumed[0] will contain the consumed component of dx and consumed[1] the consumed dy.
offsetInWindow	Int: Optional. If not null, on return this will contain the offset in local view coordinates of this view from before this operation to after it completes. View implementations may use this to adjust expected input coordinate tracking.

Return
Boolean: true if the parent consumed some or all of the scroll delta

dispatchNestedScroll

abstract fun dispatchNestedScroll(dxConsumed: Int, dyConsumed: Int, dxUnconsumed: Int, dyUnconsumed: Int, @Nullable offsetInWindow: IntArray?): Boolean

Dispatch one step of a nested scroll in progress.

Implementations of views that support nested scrolling should call this to report info about a scroll in progress to the current nested scrolling parent. If a nested scroll is not currently in progress or nested scrolling is not enabled for this view this method does nothing.

Compatible View implementations should also call dispatchNestedPreScroll before consuming a component of the scroll event themselves.

Parameters
dxConsumed	Int: Horizontal distance in pixels consumed by this view during this scroll step
dyConsumed	Int: Vertical distance in pixels consumed by this view during this scroll step
dxUnconsumed	Int: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by this view
dyUnconsumed	Int: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by this view
offsetInWindow	Int: Optional. If not null, on return this will contain the offset in local view coordinates of this view from before this operation to after it completes. View implementations may use this to adjust expected input coordinate tracking.

Return
Boolean: true if the event was dispatched, false if it could not be dispatched.

hasNestedScrollingParent

abstract fun hasNestedScrollingParent(): Boolean

Returns true if this view has a nested scrolling parent.

The presence of a nested scrolling parent indicates that this view has initiated a nested scroll and it was accepted by an ancestor view further up the view hierarchy.

Return
Boolean: whether this view has a nested scrolling parent

isNestedScrollingEnabled

abstract fun isNestedScrollingEnabled(): Boolean

Returns true if nested scrolling is enabled for this view.

If nested scrolling is enabled and this View class implementation supports it, this view will act as a nested scrolling child view when applicable, forwarding data about the scroll operation in progress to a compatible and cooperating nested scrolling parent.

Return
Boolean: true if nested scrolling is enabled

See Also

• #setNestedScrollingEnabled(boolean)

setNestedScrollingEnabled

abstract fun setNestedScrollingEnabled(enabled: Boolean): Unit

Enable or disable nested scrolling for this view.

If this property is set to true the view will be permitted to initiate nested scrolling operations with a compatible parent view in the current hierarchy. If this view does not implement nested scrolling this will have no effect. Disabling nested scrolling while a nested scroll is in progress has the effect of stopping the nested scroll.

Parameters
enabled	Boolean: true to enable nested scrolling, false to disable

• #isNestedScrollingEnabled()

startNestedScroll

abstract fun startNestedScroll(axes: Int): Boolean

Begin a nestable scroll operation along the given axes.

A view starting a nested scroll promises to abide by the following contract:

The view will call startNestedScroll upon initiating a scroll operation. In the case of a touch scroll this corresponds to the initial MotionEvent#ACTION_DOWN. In the case of touch scrolling the nested scroll will be terminated automatically in the same manner as ViewParent#requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean). In the event of programmatic scrolling the caller must explicitly call stopNestedScroll() to indicate the end of the nested scroll.

If startNestedScroll returns true, a cooperative parent was found. If it returns false the caller may ignore the rest of this contract until the next scroll. Calling startNestedScroll while a nested scroll is already in progress will return true.

At each incremental step of the scroll the caller should invoke dispatchNestedPreScroll once it has calculated the requested scrolling delta. If it returns true the nested scrolling parent at least partially consumed the scroll and the caller should adjust the amount it scrolls by.

After applying the remainder of the scroll delta the caller should invoke dispatchNestedScroll, passing both the delta consumed and the delta unconsumed. A nested scrolling parent may treat these values differently. See NestedScrollingParent#onNestedScroll(View, int, int, int, int).

Parameters
axes	Int: Flags consisting of a combination of ViewCompat#SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL and/or ViewCompat#SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL.

Return
Boolean: true if a cooperative parent was found and nested scrolling has been enabled for the current gesture.

stopNestedScroll

abstract fun stopNestedScroll(): Unit

Stop a nested scroll in progress.

Calling this method when a nested scroll is not currently in progress is harmless.
