Helper for accessing features in ViewGroup.

Summary

Constants
static Int	LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS This constant is a layoutMode.
static Int	LAYOUT_MODE_OPTICAL_BOUNDS This constant is a layoutMode.

Public methods
static Int	getLayoutMode(@NonNull group: ViewGroup) Returns the basis of alignment during layout operations on this ViewGroup: either LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS or LAYOUT_MODE_OPTICAL_BOUNDS.
static Int	getNestedScrollAxes(@NonNull group: ViewGroup) Return the current axes of nested scrolling for this ViewGroup.
static Boolean	isTransitionGroup(@NonNull group: ViewGroup) Returns true if this ViewGroup should be considered as a single entity for removal when executing an Activity transition.
static Boolean	onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent(group: ViewGroup!, child: View!, event: AccessibilityEvent!) Called when a child has requested sending an AccessibilityEvent and gives an opportunity to its parent to augment the event.
static Unit	setLayoutMode(@NonNull group: ViewGroup, mode: Int) Sets the basis of alignment during the layout of this ViewGroup.
static Unit	setMotionEventSplittingEnabled(group: ViewGroup!, split: Boolean) Enable or disable the splitting of MotionEvents to multiple children during touch event dispatch.
static Unit	setTransitionGroup(@NonNull group: ViewGroup, isTransitionGroup: Boolean) Changes whether or not this ViewGroup should be treated as a single entity during Activity Transitions.

Constants

LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS

static val LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS: Int

This constant is a layoutMode. Clip bounds are the raw values of left, top, right and bottom.

Value: 0

LAYOUT_MODE_OPTICAL_BOUNDS

static val LAYOUT_MODE_OPTICAL_BOUNDS: Int

This constant is a layoutMode. Optical bounds describe where a widget appears to be. They sit inside the clip bounds which need to cover a larger area to allow other effects, such as shadows and glows, to be drawn.

Value: 1

Public methods

getLayoutMode

static fun getLayoutMode(@NonNull group: ViewGroup): Int

Returns the basis of alignment during layout operations on this ViewGroup: either LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS or LAYOUT_MODE_OPTICAL_BOUNDS.

If no layoutMode was explicitly set, either programmatically or in an XML resource, the method returns the layoutMode of the view's parent ViewGroup if such a parent exists, otherwise the method returns a default value of LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS.

Return
Int	the layout mode to use during layout operations

• #setLayoutMode(ViewGroup, int)

getNestedScrollAxes

static fun getNestedScrollAxes(@NonNull group: ViewGroup): Int

Return the current axes of nested scrolling for this ViewGroup.

A ViewGroup returning something other than ViewCompat#SCROLL_AXIS_NONE is currently acting as a nested scrolling parent for one or more descendant views in the hierarchy.

Return
Int	Flags indicating the current axes of nested scrolling

See Also

• ViewCompat#SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL
• ViewCompat#SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL
• ViewCompat#SCROLL_AXIS_NONE

isTransitionGroup

static fun isTransitionGroup(@NonNull group: ViewGroup): Boolean

Returns true if this ViewGroup should be considered as a single entity for removal when executing an Activity transition. If this is false, child elements will move individually during the transition.

onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent

static fun onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent(
    group: ViewGroup!, 
    child: View!, 
    event: AccessibilityEvent!
): Boolean

Deprecated: Use ViewGroup#onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) directly.

Called when a child has requested sending an AccessibilityEvent and gives an opportunity to its parent to augment the event.

If an AccessibilityDelegateCompat has been specified via calling ViewCompat#setAccessibilityDelegate(View, AccessibilityDelegateCompat) its AccessibilityDelegateCompat#onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent(ViewGroup, View, * AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

Parameters
group	ViewGroup!: The group whose method to invoke.
child	View!: The child which requests sending the event.
event	AccessibilityEvent!: The event to be sent.

Return
Boolean	True if the event should be sent.

setLayoutMode

static fun setLayoutMode(
    @NonNull group: ViewGroup, 
    mode: Int
): Unit

Sets the basis of alignment during the layout of this ViewGroup. Valid values are either LAYOUT_MODE_CLIP_BOUNDS or LAYOUT_MODE_OPTICAL_BOUNDS.

Parameters
mode	Int: the layout mode to use during layout operations

See Also

• #getLayoutMode(ViewGroup)

setMotionEventSplittingEnabled

static fun setMotionEventSplittingEnabled(
    group: ViewGroup!, 
    split: Boolean
): Unit

Deprecated: Use ViewGroup#setMotionEventSplittingEnabled(boolean) directly.

Enable or disable the splitting of MotionEvents to multiple children during touch event dispatch. This behavior is enabled by default for applications that target an SDK version of 11 (Honeycomb) or newer. On earlier platform versions this feature was not supported and this method is a no-op.

When this option is enabled MotionEvents may be split and dispatched to different child views depending on where each pointer initially went down. This allows for user interactions such as scrolling two panes of content independently, chording of buttons, and performing independent gestures on different pieces of content.

Parameters
group	ViewGroup!: ViewGroup to modify
split	Boolean: true to allow MotionEvents to be split and dispatched to multiple child views. false to only allow one child view to be the target of any MotionEvent received by this ViewGroup.

setTransitionGroup

static fun setTransitionGroup(
    @NonNull group: ViewGroup, 
    isTransitionGroup: Boolean
): Unit

Changes whether or not this ViewGroup should be treated as a single entity during Activity Transitions.

Parameters
isTransitionGroup	Boolean: Whether or not the ViewGroup should be treated as a unit in Activity transitions. If false, the ViewGroup won't transition, only its children. If true, the entire ViewGroup will transition together.
