Status

class Status : TimeDependentText


Base class to represent the status of an Ongoing Activity and render it.

A status is composed of Parts, and they are joined together with a template.

Note that for backwards compatibility reasons the code rendering this status message may not have all of the [Part] classes that are available in later versions of the library. Templates that do not have values for all of the named parts will not be used. The template list will be iterated through looking for the first template with all matching named parts available, this will be selected for rendering the status.

To provide for backwards compatibility, you should provide one (or more) fallback templates which use status parts from earlier versions of the API. e.g. TextPart, TimerPart &StopwatchPart

The status and part classes here use timestamps for updating the displayed representation of the status, in cases when this is needed (chronometers), as returned by elapsedRealtime

Public functions

java-static Status

Convenience method for creating a Status with no template and a single Part.

Long
getNextChangeTimeMillis(fromTimeMillis: Long)

Returns the next time this status could have a different rendering.

Status.Part?
getPart(name: String)

Returns the value of the part with the given name.

(Mutable)Set<String!>

Public functions

forPart

Added in 1.0.0
java-static fun forPart(part: Status.Part): Status

Convenience method for creating a Status with no template and a single Part.

Parameters
part: Status.Part

The only Part that composes this status.

Returns
Status

A new Status with just one Part.

getNextChangeTimeMillis

Added in 1.1.0-alpha01
fun getNextChangeTimeMillis(fromTimeMillis: Long): Long

Returns the next time this status could have a different rendering. There is no guarantee that the rendering will change at the returned time (for example, if some information in the status is not rendered).

Parameters
fromTimeMillis: Long

current time, usually now as returned by elapsedRealtime. In most cases getText and getNextChangeTimeMillis should be called with the exact same timestamp, so changes are not missed.

Returns
Long

the next time (counting from fromTimeMillis) that this status may produce a different result when calling getText().

getPart

Added in 1.0.0
fun getPart(name: String): Status.Part?

Returns the value of the part with the given name.

Parameters
name: String

the name to lookup.

Returns
Status.Part?

the part with the given name, can be null.

getPartNames

Added in 1.0.0
fun getPartNames(): (Mutable)Set<String!>
Returns
(Mutable)Set<String!>

the names of the parts provide to this status.

getTemplates

Added in 1.0.0
fun getTemplates(): (Mutable)List<CharSequence!>
Returns
(Mutable)List<CharSequence!>

the list of templates that this status has.

getText

Added in 1.1.0-alpha01
fun getText(context: Context, timeNowMillis: Long): CharSequence

Returns a textual representation of this status at the given time. The first template that has all required information will be used, and each part will be used in their respective placeholder/s.

Parameters
context: Context

may be used for internationalization. Only used while this method executed.

timeNowMillis: Long

the timestamp of the time we want to display, usually now, as

Returns
CharSequence

the rendered text, for best compatibility, display using a TextView.
