XML Attributes

android:animateFirstView

Defines whether to animate the current View when the ViewAnimation is first displayed.

Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol animateFirstView.

Related Methods

android:inAnimation

Identifier for the animation to use when a view is shown.

Must be a reference to another resource, in the form "@[+][package:]type:name" or to a theme attribute in the form "?[package:][type:]name".

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol inAnimation.

Related Methods

android:loopViews

Defines whether the animator loops to the first view once it has reached the end of the list.

Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol loopViews.

Related Methods

android:outAnimation

Identifier for the animation to use when a view is hidden.

Must be a reference to another resource, in the form "@[+][package:]type:name" or to a theme attribute in the form "?[package:][type:]name".

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol outAnimation.

public AdapterViewAnimator (Context context)

Since: API Level 11

public AdapterViewAnimator (Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

Since: API Level 11

public AdapterViewAnimator (Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr)

Since: API Level 14

Public Methods

public void advance ()

Since: API Level 11

Called by an AppWidgetHost in order to advance the current view when it is being used within an app widget.

public void deferNotifyDataSetChanged ()

Since: API Level 14

This defers a notifyDataSetChanged on the pending RemoteViewsAdapter if it has not connected yet.

public void fyiWillBeAdvancedByHostKThx ()

Since: API Level 11

Called by an AppWidgetHost to indicate that it will be automatically advancing the views of this AdapterViewAnimator by calling advance() at some point in the future. This allows subclasses to perform any required setup, for example, to stop automatically advancing their children.

public Adapter getAdapter ()

Since: API Level 11

Returns the adapter currently associated with this widget.

Returns
  • The adapter used to provide this view's content.

public int getBaseline ()

Since: API Level 11

Return the offset of the widget's text baseline from the widget's top boundary. If this widget does not support baseline alignment, this method returns -1.

Returns
  • the offset of the baseline within the widget's bounds or -1 if baseline alignment is not supported

public View getCurrentView ()

Since: API Level 11

Returns the View corresponding to the currently displayed child.

Returns
  • The View currently displayed.

public int getDisplayedChild ()

Since: API Level 11

Returns the index of the currently displayed child view.

public ObjectAnimator getInAnimation ()

Since: API Level 11

Returns the current animation used to animate a View that enters the screen.

Returns
  • An Animation or null if none is set.

public ObjectAnimator getOutAnimation ()

Since: API Level 11

Returns the current animation used to animate a View that exits the screen.

Returns
  • An Animation or null if none is set.

public View getSelectedView ()

Since: API Level 11

Returns
  • The view corresponding to the currently selected item, or null if nothing is selected

public boolean onRemoteAdapterConnected ()

Since: API Level 11

Called back when the adapter connects to the RemoteViewsService.

public void onRemoteAdapterDisconnected ()

Since: API Level 11

Called back when the adapter disconnects from the RemoteViewsService.

public void onRestoreInstanceState (Parcelable state)

Since: API Level 11

Hook allowing a view to re-apply a representation of its internal state that had previously been generated by onSaveInstanceState(). This function will never be called with a null state.

Parameters
state The frozen state that had previously been returned by onSaveInstanceState().

public Parcelable onSaveInstanceState ()

Since: API Level 11

Hook allowing a view to generate a representation of its internal state that can later be used to create a new instance with that same state. This state should only contain information that is not persistent or can not be reconstructed later. For example, you will never store your current position on screen because that will be computed again when a new instance of the view is placed in its view hierarchy.

Some examples of things you may store here: the current cursor position in a text view (but usually not the text itself since that is stored in a content provider or other persistent storage), the currently selected item in a list view.

Returns
  • Returns a Parcelable object containing the view's current dynamic state, or null if there is nothing interesting to save. The default implementation returns null.

public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev)

Since: API Level 11

Implement this method to handle touch screen motion events.

Parameters
ev The motion event.
Returns
  • True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

public void setAdapter (Adapter adapter)

Since: API Level 11

Sets the adapter that provides the data and the views to represent the data in this widget.

Parameters
adapter The adapter to use to create this view's content.

public void setAnimateFirstView (boolean animate)

Since: API Level 11

Indicates whether the current View should be animated the first time the ViewAnimation is displayed.

Parameters
animate True to animate the current View the first time it is displayed, false otherwise.

public void setDisplayedChild (int whichChild)

Since: API Level 11

Sets which child view will be displayed.

Parameters
whichChild the index of the child view to display

public void setInAnimation (ObjectAnimator inAnimation)

Parameters
inAnimation The animation started when a View enters the screen.

public void setInAnimation (Context context, int resourceID)

Since: API Level 11

Specifies the animation used to animate a View that enters the screen.

Parameters
context The application's environment.

Parameters
intent the intent used to identify the RemoteViewsService for the adapter to connect to.

public void setSelection (int position)

Since: API Level 11

Sets the currently selected item. To support accessibility subclasses that override this method must invoke the overriden super method first.

Parameters
position Index (starting at 0) of the data item to be selected.

public void showNext ()

Since: API Level 11

Manually shows the next child.

public void showPrevious ()

Since: API Level 11

Manually shows the previous child.

Protected Methods

protected void onLayout (boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom)

Since: API Level 11

Called from layout when this view should assign a size and position to each of its children. Derived classes with children should override this method and call layout on each of their children.

Parameters
changed This is a new size or position for this view
left Left position, relative to parent
top Top position, relative to parent
right Right position, relative to parent
bottom Bottom position, relative to parent

protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)

Since: API Level 11

Measure the view and its content to determine the measured width and the measured height. This method is invoked by measure(int, int) and should be overriden by subclasses to provide accurate and efficient measurement of their contents.

CONTRACT: When overriding this method, you must call setMeasuredDimension(int, int) to store the measured width and height of this view. Failure to do so will trigger an IllegalStateException, thrown by measure(int, int). Calling the superclass' onMeasure(int, int) is a valid use.

The base class implementation of measure defaults to the background size, unless a larger size is allowed by the MeasureSpec. Subclasses should override onMeasure(int, int) to provide better measurements of their content.

If this method is overridden, it is the subclass's responsibility to make sure the measured height and width are at least the view's minimum height and width (getSuggestedMinimumHeight() and getSuggestedMinimumWidth()).

Parameters
widthMeasureSpec horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.
heightMeasureSpec vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.
