        }

        public LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams source) {
            super(source);
        }
    }
}

If you are implementing XML layout attributes as shown in the example, this is the corresponding definition for them that would go in res/values/attrs.xml:

<declare-styleable name="CustomLayoutLP">
    <attr name="android:layout_gravity" />
    <attr name="layout_position">
        <enum name="middle" value="0" />
        <enum name="left" value="1" />
        <enum name="right" value="2" />
    </attr>
</declare-styleable>

Finally the layout manager can be used in an XML layout like so:

<com.example.android.apis.view.CustomLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.example.android.apis"

XML attributes

android:addStatesFromChildren

Sets whether this ViewGroup's drawable states also include its children's drawable states. This is used, for example, to make a group appear to be focused when its child EditText or button is focused.

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 addStatesFromChildren.

android:alwaysDrawnWithCache

Defines whether the ViewGroup should always draw its children using their drawing cache or not. The default value is true.

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.

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 animateLayoutChanges.

Related methods:

setLayoutTransition(LayoutTransition)

android:animationCache

Defines whether layout animations should create a drawing cache for their children. Enabling the animation cache consumes more memory and requires a longer initialization but provides better performance. The animation cache is enabled by default.

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 animationCache.

android:clipChildren

Defines whether a child is limited to draw inside of its bounds or not. This is useful with animations that scale the size of the children to more than 100% for instance. In such a case, this property should be set to false to allow the children to draw outside of their bounds. The default value of this property is true.

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.

`blocksDescendants`	2	The ViewGroup will block its descendants from receiving focus.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol descendantFocusability.

android:layoutAnimation

Defines the layout animation to use the first time the ViewGroup is laid out. Layout animations can also be started manually after the first layout.

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 layoutAnimation.

android:persistentDrawingCache

Defines the persistence of the drawing cache. The drawing cache might be enabled by a ViewGroup for all its children in specific situations (for instance during a scrolling.) This property lets you persist the cache in memory after its initial usage. Persisting the cache consumes more memory but may prevent frequent garbage collection is the cache is created over and over again. By default the persistence is set to scrolling.

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constant values.

Constant	Value	Description
`none`	0x0	The drawing cache is not persisted after use.
`animation`	0x1	The drawing cache is persisted after a layout animation.
`scrolling`	0x2	The drawing cache is persisted after a scroll.
`all`	0x3	The drawing cache is always persisted.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol persistentDrawingCache.

android:splitMotionEvents

Sets whether this ViewGroup should split MotionEvents to separate child views during touch event dispatch. If false (default), touch events will be dispatched to the child view where the first pointer went down until the last pointer goes up. If true, touch events may be dispatched to multiple children. MotionEvents for each pointer will be dispatched to the child view where the initial ACTION_DOWN event happened. See setMotionEventSplittingEnabled(boolean) for more information.

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.

addChildrenForAccessibility

Added in API level 16

void addChildrenForAccessibility (ArrayList<View> outChildren)

Adds the children of this View relevant for accessibility to the given list as output. Since some Views are not important for accessibility the added child views are not necessarily direct children of this view, rather they are the first level of descendants important for accessibility.

Parameters
`outChildren`	`ArrayList`: The output list that will receive children for accessibility.

addFocusables

Added in API level 4

void addFocusables (ArrayList<View> views,

`height`	`int`

bringChildToFront

Added in API level 1

void bringChildToFront (View child)

Change the z order of the child so it's on top of all other children. This ordering change may affect layout, if this container uses an order-dependent layout scheme (e.g., LinearLayout). Prior to KITKAT this method should be followed by calls to requestLayout() and invalidate() on this parent to force the parent to redraw with the new child ordering.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: The child to bring to the top of the z order

childDrawableStateChanged

Added in API level 1

void childDrawableStateChanged (View child)

If addStatesFromChildren() is true, refreshes this group's drawable state (to include the states from its children).

Parameters
`child`	`View`: The child whose drawable state has changed.

childHasTransientStateChanged

Added in API level 19

void childHasTransientStateChanged (View child, 
                boolean childHasTransientState)

Added in API level 1

void clearDisappearingChildren ()

Removes any pending animations for views that have been removed. Call this if you don't want animations for exiting views to stack up.

clearFocus

Added in API level 1

void clearFocus ()

Called when this view wants to give up focus. If focus is cleared onFocusChanged(boolean, int, android.graphics.Rect) is called.

Note: When a View clears focus the framework is trying to give focus to the first focusable View from the top. Hence, if this View is the first from the top that can take focus, then all callbacks related to clearing focus will be invoked after which the framework will give focus to this view.

dispatchApplyWindowInsets

Added in API level 20

WindowInsets dispatchApplyWindowInsets (WindowInsets insets)

Request to apply the given window insets to this view or another view in its subtree.

This method should be called by clients wishing to apply insets corresponding to areas obscured by window decorations or overlays. This can include the status and navigation bars, action bars, input methods and more. New inset categories may be added in the future. The method returns the insets provided minus any that were applied by this view or its children.

Clients wishing to provide custom behavior should override the onApplyWindowInsets(WindowInsets) method or alternatively provide a View.OnApplyWindowInsetsListener via the setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener method.

This method replaces the older fitSystemWindows method.

Parameters
`insets`	`WindowInsets`: Insets to apply

Returns
`WindowInsets`	The provided insets minus the insets that were consumed

dispatchConfigurationChanged

Added in API level 8

void dispatchConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

Dispatch a notification about a resource configuration change down the view hierarchy. ViewGroups should override to route to their children.

Parameters
`newConfig`	`Configuration`: The new resource configuration.

dispatchDisplayHint

Added in API level 8

void dispatchDisplayHint (int hint)

Dispatch a hint about whether this view is displayed. For instance, when a View moves out of the screen, it might receives a display hint indicating the view is not displayed. Applications should not rely on this hint as there is no guarantee that they will receive one.

Parameters
`hint`	`int`: A hint about whether or not this view is displayed: `VISIBLE` or `INVISIBLE`.

dispatchDragEvent

Added in API level 11

boolean dispatchDragEvent (DragEvent event)

Detects if this View is enabled and has a drag event listener. If both are true, then it calls the drag event listener with the DragEvent it received. If the drag event listener returns true, then dispatchDragEvent() returns true.

For all other cases, the method calls the onDragEvent() drag event handler method and returns its result.

This ensures that a drag event is always consumed, even if the View does not have a drag event listener. However, if the View has a listener and the listener returns true, then onDragEvent() is not called.

Parameters
`event`	`DragEvent`

Returns
`boolean`

dispatchDrawableHotspotChanged

Added in API level 22

void dispatchDrawableHotspotChanged (float x, 
                float y)

Returns false from both isClickable() and isLongClickable()
Requests duplication of parent state via setDuplicateParentStateEnabled(boolean)

Parameters
`x`	`float`: hotspot x coordinate
`y`	`float`: hotspot y coordinate

See also:

drawableHotspotChanged(float, float)

dispatchKeyEvent

Added in API level 1

boolean dispatchKeyEvent (KeyEvent event)

Dispatch a key event to the next view on the focus path. This path runs from the top of the view tree down to the currently focused view. If this view has focus, it will dispatch to itself. Otherwise it will dispatch the next node down the focus path. This method also fires any key listeners.

Parameters
`event`	`KeyEvent`: The key event to be dispatched.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

dispatchKeyEventPreIme

Added in API level 3

boolean dispatchKeyEventPreIme (KeyEvent event)

Dispatch a key event before it is processed by any input method associated with the view hierarchy. This can be used to intercept key events in special situations before the IME consumes them; a typical example would be handling the BACK key to update the application's UI instead of allowing the IME to see it and close itself.

Parameters
`event`	`KeyEvent`: The key event to be dispatched.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

dispatchKeyShortcutEvent

Added in API level 1

boolean dispatchKeyShortcutEvent (KeyEvent event)

Added in API level 1

boolean dispatchUnhandledMove (View focused, 
                int direction)

This method is the last chance for the focused view and its ancestors to respond to an arrow key. This is called when the focused view did not consume the key internally, nor could the view system find a new view in the requested direction to give focus to.

Parameters
`focused`	`View`: The currently focused view.

endViewTransition

Added in API level 11

void endViewTransition (View view)

This method should always be called following an earlier call to startViewTransition(View). The given View is finally removed from its parent and will no longer be displayed. Note that this method does not perform the functionality of removing a view from its parent; it just discontinues the display of a View that has previously been removed.

Parameters

Parameters
`v`	`View`: The view that has become newly focusable

gatherTransparentRegion

Added in API level 1

boolean gatherTransparentRegion (Region region)

This is used by the RootView to perform an optimization when the view hierarchy contains one or several SurfaceView. SurfaceView is always considered transparent, but its children are not, therefore all View objects remove themselves from the global transparent region (passed as a parameter to this function).

Parameters
`region`	`Region`: The transparent region for this ViewAncestor (window).

Returns
`ViewGroup.LayoutParams`	an instance of `ViewGroup.LayoutParams` or one of its descendants

getAccessibilityClassName

Added in API level 23

CharSequence getAccessibilityClassName ()

Return the class name of this object to be used for accessibility purposes.

This is used to fill in AccessibilityNodeInfo.setClassName.

Returns
`CharSequence`

getChildAt

Added in API level 1

View getChildAt (int index)

Returns the view at the specified position in the group.

getChildMeasureSpec

Added in API level 1

int getChildMeasureSpec (int spec, 
                int padding, 
                int childDimension)

Does the hard part of measureChildren: figuring out the MeasureSpec to pass to a particular child. This method figures out the right MeasureSpec for one dimension (height or width) of one child view. The goal is to combine information from our MeasureSpec with the LayoutParams of the child to get the best possible results. For example, if the this view knows its size (because its MeasureSpec has a mode of EXACTLY), and the child has indicated in its LayoutParams that it wants to be the same size as the parent, the parent should ask the child to layout given an exact size.

Parameters
`spec`	`int`: The requirements for this view
`padding`	`int`: The padding of this view for the current dimension and margins, if applicable
`childDimension`	`int`: How big the child wants to be in the current dimension

Returns
`int`	a MeasureSpec integer for the child

                Point offset)

Compute the visible part of a rectangular region defined in terms of a child view's coordinates.

Returns the clipped visible part of the rectangle r, defined in the child's local coordinate system. r is modified by this method to contain the result, expressed in the global (root) coordinate system.

The resulting rectangle is always axis aligned. If a rotation is applied to a node in the View hierarchy, the result is the axis-aligned bounding box of the visible rectangle.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: A child View, whose rectangular visible region we want to compute
`r`	`Rect`: The input rectangle, defined in the child coordinate system. Will be overwritten to contain the resulting visible rectangle, expressed in global (root) coordinates
`offset`	`Point`: The input coordinates of a point, defined in the child coordinate system. As with the `r` parameter, this will be overwritten to contain the global (root) coordinates of that point. A `null` value is valid (in case you are not interested in this result)

Returns
`boolean`	true if the resulting rectangle is not empty, false otherwise

getClipChildren

Added in API level 18

boolean getClipChildren ()

Returns whether this group's children are clipped to their bounds before drawing. The default value is true.

setLayoutMode(int)

getLayoutTransition

Added in API level 11

LayoutTransition getLayoutTransition ()

Gets the LayoutTransition object for this ViewGroup. If the LayoutTransition object is not null, changes in layout which occur because of children being added to or removed from the ViewGroup will be animated according to the animations defined in that LayoutTransition object. By default, the transition object is null (so layout changes are not animated).

Returns
`LayoutTransition`	LayoutTranstion The LayoutTransition object that will animated changes in layout. A value of `null` means no transition will run on layout changes.

getNestedScrollAxes

Added in API level 21

int getNestedScrollAxes ()

getOverlay

Added in API level 18

ViewGroupOverlay getOverlay ()

Returns the ViewGroupOverlay for this view group, creating it if it does not yet exist. In addition to ViewOverlay's support for drawables, ViewGroupOverlay allows views to be added to the overlay. These views, like overlay drawables, are visual-only; they do not receive input events and should not be used as anything other than a temporary representation of a view in a parent container, such as might be used by an animation effect.

Note: Overlays do not currently work correctly with SurfaceView or TextureView; contents in overlays for these types of views may not display correctly.

Returns
`ViewGroupOverlay`	The ViewGroupOverlay object for this view.

hasTransientState

Added in API level 16

boolean hasTransientState ()

Indicates whether the view is currently tracking transient state that the app should not need to concern itself with saving and restoring, but that the framework should take special note to preserve when possible.

A view with transient state cannot be trivially rebound from an external data source, such as an adapter binding item views in a list. This may be because the view is performing an animation, tracking user selection of content, or similar.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the view has transient state

Indicates whether this ViewGroup will always try to draw its children using their drawing cache. By default this property is enabled.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the animation cache is enabled, false otherwise

See also:

isAnimationCacheEnabled

Added in API level 1

boolean isAnimationCacheEnabled ()

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
As of M, this property is ignored. Caching behavior of children may be controlled through setLayerType(int, Paint).

Indicates whether the children's drawing cache is used during a layout animation. By default, the drawing cache is enabled but this will prevent nested layout animations from working. To nest animations, you must disable the cache.

Returns

Returns
`boolean`	True if the ViewGroup should be acted on together during an Activity transition. The default value is true when there is a non-null background or if `getTransitionName()` is not null or if a non-null `ViewOutlineProvider` other than `BACKGROUND` was given to `setOutlineProvider(ViewOutlineProvider)` and false otherwise.

jumpDrawablesToCurrentState

Added in API level 11

void jumpDrawablesToCurrentState ()

Call Drawable.jumpToCurrentState() on all Drawable objects associated with this view.

Also calls jumpToCurrentState() if there is a StateListAnimator attached to this view.

                int t, 
                int r, 
                int b)

Assign a size and position to a view and all of its descendants

This is the second phase of the layout mechanism. (The first is measuring). In this phase, each parent calls layout on all of its children to position them. This is typically done using the child measurements that were stored in the measure pass().

Derived classes should not override this method. Derived classes with children should override onLayout. In that method, they should call layout on each of their children.

Parameters
`l`	`int`: Left position, relative to parent
`t`	`int`: Top position, relative to parent
`r`	`int`: Right position, relative to parent
`b`	`int`: Bottom position, relative to parent

void offsetDescendantRectToMyCoords (View descendant, 
                Rect rect)

Offset a rectangle that is in a descendant's coordinate space into our coordinate space.

Parameters
`descendant`	`View`: A descendant of this view
`rect`	`Rect`: A rectangle defined in descendant's coordinate space.

offsetRectIntoDescendantCoords

Added in API level 1

void offsetRectIntoDescendantCoords (View descendant, 
                Rect rect)

Offset a rectangle that is in our coordinate space into an ancestor's coordinate space.

Parameters
`descendant`	`View`: A descendant of this view
`rect`	`Rect`: A rectangle defined in descendant's coordinate space.

onInterceptHoverEvent

Added in API level 14

boolean onInterceptHoverEvent (MotionEvent event)

Implement this method to intercept hover events before they are handled by child views.

This method is called before dispatching a hover event to a child of the view group or to the view group's own onHoverEvent(MotionEvent) to allow the view group a chance to intercept the hover event. This method can also be used to watch all pointer motions that occur within the bounds of the view group even when the pointer is hovering over a child of the view group rather than over the view group itself.

The view group can prevent its children from receiving hover events by implementing this method and returning true to indicate that it would like to intercept hover events. The view group must continuously return true from onInterceptHoverEvent(MotionEvent) for as long as it wishes to continue intercepting hover events from its children.

Interception preserves the invariant that at most one view can be hovered at a time by transferring hover focus from the currently hovered child to the view group or vice-versa as needed.

If this method returns true and a child is already hovered, then the child view will first receive a hover exit event and then the view group itself will receive a hover enter event in onHoverEvent(MotionEvent). Likewise, if this method had previously returned true to intercept hover events and instead returns false while the pointer is hovering within the bounds of one of a child, then the view group will first receive a hover exit event in onHoverEvent(MotionEvent) and then the hovered child will receive a hover enter event.

The default implementation handles mouse hover on the scroll bars.

Parameters
`event`	`MotionEvent`: The motion event that describes the hover.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the view group would like to intercept the hover event and prevent its children from receiving it.

onInterceptTouchEvent

Added in API level 1

boolean onInterceptTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev)

Implement this method to intercept all touch screen motion events. This allows you to watch events as they are dispatched to your children, and take ownership of the current gesture at any point.

Using this function takes some care, as it has a fairly complicated interaction with View.onTouchEvent(MotionEvent), and using it requires implementing that method as well as this one in the correct way. Events will be received in the following order:

You will receive the down event here.
The down event will be handled either by a child of this view group, or given to your own onTouchEvent() method to handle; this means you should implement onTouchEvent() to return true, so you will continue to see the rest of the gesture (instead of looking for a parent view to handle it). Also, by returning true from onTouchEvent(), you will not receive any following events in onInterceptTouchEvent() and all touch processing must happen in onTouchEvent() like normal.
For as long as you return false from this function, each following event (up to and including the final up) will be delivered first here and then to the target's onTouchEvent().
If you return true from here, you will not receive any following events: the target view will receive the same event but with the action ACTION_CANCEL, and all further events will be delivered to your onTouchEvent() method and no longer appear here.

Parameters
`ev`	`MotionEvent`: The motion event being dispatched down the hierarchy.

Returns
`boolean`	Return true to steal motion events from the children and have them dispatched to this ViewGroup through onTouchEvent(). The current target will receive an ACTION_CANCEL event, and no further messages will be delivered here.

onNestedFling

Added in API level 21

boolean onNestedFling (View target, 
                float velocityX, 
                float velocityY, 
                boolean consumed)

Request a fling from a nested scroll.

This method signifies 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
`target`	`View`: View that initiated the nested scroll
`velocityX`	`float`: Horizontal velocity in pixels per second
`velocityY`	`float`: Vertical velocity in pixels per second
`consumed`	`boolean`: true if the child consumed the fling, false otherwise

Returns
`boolean`	true if this parent consumed or otherwise reacted to the fling

onNestedPreFling

Added in API level 21

boolean onNestedPreFling (View target, 
                float velocityX, 
                float velocityY)

React to a nested fling before the target view consumes it.

This method siginfies that a nested scrolling child has detected a fling with the given velocity along each axis. 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 parent is consuming motion as part of a pre-scroll, it may be appropriate for it to also consume the pre-fling to complete that same motion. By returning true from this method, the parent indicates that the child should not fling its own internal content as well.

Parameters
`target`	`View`: View that initiated the nested scroll
`velocityX`	`float`: Horizontal velocity in pixels per second
`velocityY`	`float`: Vertical velocity in pixels per second

Returns
`boolean`	true if this parent consumed the fling ahead of the target view

onNestedPrePerformAccessibilityAction

Added in API level 22

boolean onNestedPrePerformAccessibilityAction (View target, 
                int action, 
                Bundle args)

React to an accessibility action delegated by a target descendant view before the target processes it.

This method may be called by a target descendant view if the target wishes to give a view in its parent chain a chance to react to the event before normal processing occurs. Most commonly this will be a scroll event such as ACTION_SCROLL_FORWARD. A ViewParent that supports acting as a nested scrolling parent should override this method and act accordingly to implement scrolling via accesibility systems.

Subclasses should always call super.onNestedPrePerformAccessibilityAction

Parameters
`target`	`View`: The target view dispatching this action
`action`	`int`: Action being performed; see `AccessibilityNodeInfo`
`args`	`Bundle`: Optional action arguments

Returns
`boolean`	false by default. Subclasses should return true if they handle the event.

onNestedPreScroll

Added in API level 21

void onNestedPreScroll (View target, 
                int dx, 
                int dy, 
                int[] consumed)

React to a nested scroll in progress before the target view consumes a portion of the scroll.

When working with nested scrolling often the parent view may want an opportunity to consume the scroll before the nested scrolling child does. An example of this is a drawer that contains a scrollable list. The user will want to be able to scroll the list fully into view before the list itself begins scrolling.

onNestedPreScroll is called when a nested scrolling child invokes dispatchNestedPreScroll(int, int, int[], int[]). The implementation should report how any pixels of the scroll reported by dx, dy were consumed in the consumed array. Index 0 corresponds to dx and index 1 corresponds to dy. This parameter will never be null. Initial values for consumed[0] and consumed[1] will always be 0.

Parameters
`target`	`View`: View that initiated the nested scroll
`dx`	`int`: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels
`dy`	`int`: Vertical scroll distance in pixels
`consumed`	`int`: Output. The horizontal and vertical scroll distance consumed by this parent

onNestedScroll

Added in API level 21

void onNestedScroll (View target, 
                int dxConsumed, 
                int dyConsumed, 
                int dxUnconsumed, 
                int dyUnconsumed)

React to a nested scroll in progress.

This method will be called when the ViewParent's current nested scrolling child view dispatches a nested scroll event. To receive calls to this method the ViewParent must have previously returned true for a call to onStartNestedScroll(View, View, int).

Both the consumed and unconsumed portions of the scroll distance are reported to the ViewParent. An implementation may choose to use the consumed portion to match or chase scroll position of multiple child elements, for example. The unconsumed portion may be used to allow continuous dragging of multiple scrolling or draggable elements, such as scrolling a list within a vertical drawer where the drawer begins dragging once the edge of inner scrolling content is reached.

Parameters
`target`	`View`: The descendent view controlling the nested scroll
`dxConsumed`	`int`: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels already consumed by target
`dyConsumed`	`int`: Vertical scroll distance in pixels already consumed by target
`dxUnconsumed`	`int`: Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by target
`dyUnconsumed`	`int`: Vertical scroll distance in pixels not consumed by target

onNestedScrollAccepted

Added in API level 21

void onNestedScrollAccepted (View child, 
                View target, 
                int axes)

React to the successful claiming of a nested scroll operation.

This method will be called after onStartNestedScroll returns true. It offers an opportunity for the view and its superclasses to perform initial configuration for the nested scroll. Implementations of this method should always call their superclass's implementation of this method if one is present.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: Direct child of this ViewParent containing target
`target`	`View`: View that initiated the nested scroll
`axes`	`int`: Flags consisting of `SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL`, `SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL` or both

onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent

Added in API level 14

boolean onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent (View child, 
                AccessibilityEvent event)

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

If an View.AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(android.view.View.AccessibilityDelegate) its onRequestSendAccessibilityEvent(ViewGroup, View, AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: The child which requests sending the event.
`event`	`AccessibilityEvent`: The event to be sent.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the event should be sent.

See also:

requestSendAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent)

onResolvePointerIcon

Added in API level 24

PointerIcon onResolvePointerIcon (MotionEvent event, 
                int pointerIndex)

Returns the pointer icon for the motion event, or null if it doesn't specify the icon. The default implementation does not care the location or event types, but some subclasses may use it (such as WebViews).

Parameters
`event`	`MotionEvent`: The MotionEvent from a mouse
`pointerIndex`	`int`: The index of the pointer for which to retrieve the `PointerIcon`. This will be between 0 and `getPointerCount()`.

Returns
`PointerIcon`

onStartNestedScroll

Added in API level 21

boolean onStartNestedScroll (View child, 
                View target, 
                int nestedScrollAxes)

React to a descendant view initiating a nestable scroll operation, claiming the nested scroll operation if appropriate.

This method will be called in response to a descendant view invoking startNestedScroll(int). Each parent up the view hierarchy will be given an opportunity to respond and claim the nested scrolling operation by returning true.

This method may be overridden by ViewParent implementations to indicate when the view is willing to support a nested scrolling operation that is about to begin. If it returns true, this ViewParent will become the target view's nested scrolling parent for the duration of the scroll operation in progress. When the nested scroll is finished this ViewParent will receive a call to onStopNestedScroll(View).

Parameters
`child`	`View`: Direct child of this ViewParent containing target
`target`	`View`: View that initiated the nested scroll
`nestedScrollAxes`	`int`: Flags consisting of `SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL`, `SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL` or both

Returns
`boolean`	true if this ViewParent accepts the nested scroll operation

onStopNestedScroll

Added in API level 21

void onStopNestedScroll (View child)

React to a nested scroll operation ending.

Perform cleanup after a nested scrolling operation. This method will be called when a nested scroll stops, for example when a nested touch scroll ends with a ACTION_UP or ACTION_CANCEL event. Implementations of this method should always call their superclass's implementation of this method if one is present.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: View that initiated the nested scroll

onViewAdded

Added in API level 23

removeAllViewsInLayout

Added in API level 1

void removeAllViewsInLayout ()

Called by a ViewGroup subclass to remove child views from itself, when it must first know its size on screen before it can calculate how many child views it will render. An example is a Gallery or a ListView, which may "have" 50 children, but actually only render the number of children that can currently fit inside the object on screen. Do not call this method unless you are extending ViewGroup and understand the view measuring and layout pipeline.

Note: do not invoke this method from draw(android.graphics.Canvas), onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas), dispatchDraw(android.graphics.Canvas) or any related method.

requestChildFocus

Added in API level 1

void requestChildFocus (View child, 
                View focused)

Called when a child of this parent wants focus

Parameters
`child`	`View`: The child of this ViewParent that wants focus. This view will contain the focused view. It is not necessarily the view that actually has focus.
`focused`	`View`: The view that is a descendant of child that actually has focus

requestChildRectangleOnScreen

Added in API level 1

boolean requestChildRectangleOnScreen (View child, 
                Rect rectangle, 
                boolean immediate)

Called when a child of this group wants a particular rectangle to be positioned onto the screen. ViewGroups overriding this can trust that:

child will be a direct child of this group
rectangle will be in the child's content coordinates

ViewGroups overriding this should uphold the contract:

nothing will change if the rectangle is already visible
the view port will be scrolled only just enough to make the rectangle visible

Parameters
`child`	`View`: The direct child making the request.
`rectangle`	`Rect`: The rectangle in the child's coordinates the child wishes to be on the screen.
`immediate`	`boolean`: True to forbid animated or delayed scrolling, false otherwise

Returns
`boolean`	Whether the group scrolled to handle the operation

requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent

Added in API level 1

void requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent (boolean disallowIntercept)

Called when a child does not want this parent and its ancestors to intercept touch events with onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent).

This parent should pass this call onto its parents. This parent must obey this request for the duration of the touch (that is, only clear the flag after this parent has received an up or a cancel.

Parameters
`disallowIntercept`	`boolean`: True if the child does not want the parent to intercept touch events.

requestFocus

Added in API level 1

boolean requestFocus (int direction, 
                Rect previouslyFocusedRect)

Call this to try to give focus to a specific view or to one of its descendants and give it hints about the direction and a specific rectangle that the focus is coming from. The rectangle can help give larger views a finer grained hint about where focus is coming from, and therefore, where to show selection, or forward focus change internally. A view will not actually take focus if it is not focusable (isFocusable() returns false), or if it is focusable and it is not focusable in touch mode (isFocusableInTouchMode()) while the device is in touch mode. A View will not take focus if it is not visible. A View will not take focus if one of its parents has getDescendantFocusability() equal to FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS. See also focusSearch(int), which is what you call to say that you have focus, and you want your parent to look for the next one. You may wish to override this method if your custom View has an internal View that it wishes to forward the request to. Looks for a view to give focus to respecting the setting specified by getDescendantFocusability(). Uses onRequestFocusInDescendants(int, android.graphics.Rect) to find focus within the children of this group when appropriate.

Parameters
`direction`	`int`: One of FOCUS_UP, FOCUS_DOWN, FOCUS_LEFT, and FOCUS_RIGHT
`previouslyFocusedRect`	`Rect`: The rectangle (in this View's coordinate system) to give a finer grained hint about where focus is coming from. May be null if there is no hint.

Returns
`boolean`	Whether this view or one of its descendants actually took focus.

requestSendAccessibilityEvent

Added in API level 14

boolean requestSendAccessibilityEvent (View child, 
                AccessibilityEvent event)

Called by a child to request from its parent to send an AccessibilityEvent. The child has already populated a record for itself in the event and is delegating to its parent to send the event. The parent can optionally add a record for itself.

Note: An accessibility event is fired by an individual view which populates the event with a record for its state and requests from its parent to perform the sending. The parent can optionally add a record for itself before dispatching the request to its parent. A parent can also choose not to respect the request for sending the event. The accessibility event is sent by the topmost view in the view tree.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: The child which requests sending the event.
`event`	`AccessibilityEvent`: The event to be sent.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the event was sent.

requestTransparentRegion

Added in API level 1

void requestTransparentRegion (View child)

Called when a child wants the view hierarchy to gather and report transparent regions to the window compositor. Views that "punch" holes in the view hierarchy, such as SurfaceView can use this API to improve performance of the system. When no such a view is present in the hierarchy, this optimization in unnecessary and might slightly reduce the view hierarchy performance.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: the view requesting the transparent region computation

scheduleLayoutAnimation

Added in API level 1

void scheduleLayoutAnimation ()

Schedules the layout animation to be played after the next layout pass of this view group. This can be used to restart the layout animation when the content of the view group changes or when the activity is paused and resumed.

setAddStatesFromChildren

Added in API level 1

void setAddStatesFromChildren (boolean addsStates)

Parameters
`addsStates`	`boolean`

setAlwaysDrawnWithCacheEnabled

Added in API level 1

void setAlwaysDrawnWithCacheEnabled (boolean always)

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
As of M, this property is ignored. Child views may no longer have their caching behavior disabled by parents.

Indicates whether this ViewGroup will always try to draw its children using their drawing cache. This property can be set to true when the cache rendering is slightly different from the children's normal rendering. Renderings can be different, for instance, when the cache's quality is set to low. When this property is disabled, the ViewGroup will use the drawing cache of its children only when asked to. It's usually the task of subclasses to tell ViewGroup when to start using the drawing cache and when to stop using it.

Parameters
`always`	`boolean`: true to always draw with the drawing cache, false otherwise

See also:

setAnimationCacheEnabled

Added in API level 1

void setAnimationCacheEnabled (boolean enabled)

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
As of M, this property is ignored. Caching behavior of children may be controlled through setLayerType(int, Paint).

Enables or disables the children's drawing cache during a layout animation. By default, the drawing cache is enabled but this will prevent nested layout animations from working. To nest animations, you must disable the cache.

Parameters
`enabled`	`boolean`: true to enable the animation cache, false otherwise

See also:

setClipChildren

Added in API level 1

void setClipChildren (boolean clipChildren)

By default, children are clipped to their bounds before drawing. This allows view groups to override this behavior for animations, etc.

Related XML Attributes:

android:clipChildren

Parameters
`clipChildren`	`boolean`: true to clip children to their bounds, false otherwise

setClipToPadding

Added in API level 1

void setClipToPadding (boolean clipToPadding)

Sets whether this ViewGroup will clip its children to its padding and resize (but not clip) any EdgeEffect to the padded region, if padding is present.

By default, children are clipped to the padding of their parent ViewGroup. This clipping behavior is only enabled if padding is non-zero.

Related XML Attributes:

android:clipToPadding

Parameters
`clipToPadding`	`boolean`: true to clip children to the padding of the group, and resize (but not clip) any EdgeEffect to the padded region. False otherwise.

setDescendantFocusability

Added in API level 1

void setDescendantFocusability (int focusability)

Set the descendant focusability of this view group. This defines the relationship between this view group and its descendants when looking for a view to take focus in requestFocus(int, android.graphics.Rect).

Parameters
`focusability`	`int`: one of `FOCUS_BEFORE_DESCENDANTS`, `FOCUS_AFTER_DESCENDANTS`, `FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS`.

setLayoutAnimation

Added in API level 1

Parameters
`controller`	`LayoutAnimationController`: the animation controller

setLayoutAnimationListener

Added in API level 1

void setLayoutAnimationListener (Animation.AnimationListener animationListener)

Specifies the animation listener to which layout animation events must be sent. Only onAnimationStart(Animation) and onAnimationEnd(Animation) are invoked.

Parameters
`animationListener`	`Animation.AnimationListener`: the layout animation listener

setLayoutMode

Added in API level 18

void setLayoutMode (int layoutMode)

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

Related XML Attributes:

android:layoutMode

Parameters
`layoutMode`	`int`: the layout mode to use during layout operations

See also:

getLayoutMode()

setLayoutTransition

Added in API level 11

void setLayoutTransition (LayoutTransition transition)

Sets the LayoutTransition object for this ViewGroup. If the LayoutTransition object is not null, changes in layout which occur because of children being added to or removed from the ViewGroup will be animated according to the animations defined in that LayoutTransition object. By default, the transition object is null (so layout changes are not animated).

Replacing a non-null transition will cause that previous transition to be canceled, if it is currently running, to restore this container to its correct post-transition state.

Related XML Attributes:

android:animateLayoutChanges

Parameters
`transition`	`LayoutTransition`: The LayoutTransition object that will animated changes in layout. A value of `null` means no transition will run on layout changes.

setMotionEventSplittingEnabled

Added in API level 11

void setMotionEventSplittingEnabled (boolean split)

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 HONEYCOMB or newer.

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.

Related XML Attributes:

android:splitMotionEvents

Parameters
`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.

setOnHierarchyChangeListener

Added in API level 1

void setOnHierarchyChangeListener (ViewGroup.OnHierarchyChangeListener listener)

Parameters
`listener`	`ViewGroup.OnHierarchyChangeListener`: the callback to invoke on hierarchy change

setPersistentDrawingCache

Added in API level 1

void setPersistentDrawingCache (int drawingCacheToKeep)

setTransitionGroup

Added in API level 21

void setTransitionGroup (boolean isTransitionGroup)

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.

See also:

makeSceneTransitionAnimation(android.app.Activity, android.util.Pair[])

shouldDelayChildPressedState

Added in API level 14

boolean shouldDelayChildPressedState ()

Return true if the pressed state should be delayed for children or descendants of this ViewGroup. Generally, this should be done for containers that can scroll, such as a List. This prevents the pressed state from appearing when the user is actually trying to scroll the content. The default implementation returns true for compatibility reasons. Subclasses that do not scroll should generally override this method and return false.

Returns
`boolean`

showContextMenuForChild

Added in API level 24

boolean showContextMenuForChild (View originalView, 
                float x, 
                float y)

Shows the context menu for the specified view or its ancestors anchored to the specified view-relative coordinate.

In most cases, a subclass does not need to override this. However, if the subclass is added directly to the window manager (for example, addView(View, android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)) then it should override this and show the context menu.

If a subclass overrides this method it should also override showContextMenuForChild(View).

Parameters
`originalView`	`View`: the source view where the context menu was first invoked
`x`	`float`: the X coordinate in pixels relative to the original view to which the menu should be anchored, or `NaN` to disable anchoring
`y`	`float`: the Y coordinate in pixels relative to the original view to which the menu should be anchored, or `NaN` to disable anchoring

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if the context menu was shown, `false` otherwise

showContextMenuForChild

Added in API level 1

boolean showContextMenuForChild (View originalView)

Shows the context menu for the specified view or its ancestors.

Parameters
`originalView`	`View`: the source view where the context menu was first invoked

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if the context menu was shown, `false` otherwise

startActionModeForChild

Added in API level 23

ActionMode startActionModeForChild (View originalView, 
                ActionMode.Callback callback, 
                int type)

Start an action mode of a specific type for the specified view.

Parameters
`originalView`	`View`: The source view where the action mode was first invoked
`callback`	`ActionMode.Callback`: The callback that will handle lifecycle events for the action mode
`type`	`int`: One of `TYPE_PRIMARY` or `TYPE_FLOATING`.

Returns
`ActionMode`	The new action mode if it was started, null otherwise

Added in API level 11

ActionMode startActionModeForChild (View originalView, 
                ActionMode.Callback callback)

Start an action mode for the specified view with the default type TYPE_PRIMARY.

Parameters
`originalView`	`View`: The source view where the action mode was first invoked
`callback`	`ActionMode.Callback`: The callback that will handle lifecycle events for the action mode

Returns
`ActionMode`	The new action mode if it was started, null otherwise

startLayoutAnimation

Added in API level 1

void startLayoutAnimation ()

Runs the layout animation. Calling this method triggers a relayout of this view group.

startViewTransition

Added in API level 11

void startViewTransition (View view)

This method tells the ViewGroup that the given View object, which should have this ViewGroup as its parent, should be kept around (re-displayed when the ViewGroup draws its children) even if it is removed from its parent. This allows animations, such as those used by Fragment and LayoutTransition to animate the removal of views. A call to this method should always be accompanied by a later call to endViewTransition(View), such as after an animation on the View has finished, so that the View finally gets removed.

Parameters
`view`	`View`: The View object to be kept visible even if it gets removed from its parent.

updateViewLayout

Added in API level 1

void updateViewLayout (View view, 
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams params)

Parameters
`view`	`View`
`params`	`ViewGroup.LayoutParams`

Protected methods

Added in API level 1

boolean addViewInLayout (View child, 
                int index, 
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams params, 
                boolean preventRequestLayout)

Adds a view during layout. This is useful if in your onLayout() method, you need to add more views (as does the list view for example). If index is negative, it means put it at the end of the list.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: the view to add to the group
`index`	`int`: the index at which the child must be added or -1 to add last
`params`	`ViewGroup.LayoutParams`: the layout parameters to associate with the child
`preventRequestLayout`	`boolean`: if true, calling this method will not trigger a layout request on child

Returns
`boolean`	true if the child was added, false otherwise

addViewInLayout

Added in API level 1

boolean addViewInLayout (View child, 
                int index, 
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams params)

Adds a view during layout. This is useful if in your onLayout() method, you need to add more views (as does the list view for example). If index is negative, it means put it at the end of the list.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: the view to add to the group
`index`	`int`: the index at which the child must be added or -1 to add last
`params`	`ViewGroup.LayoutParams`: the layout parameters to associate with the child

Returns
`boolean`	true if the child was added, false otherwise

attachLayoutAnimationParameters

Added in API level 1

void attachLayoutAnimationParameters (View child, 
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams params, 
                int index, 
                int count)

Subclasses should override this method to set layout animation parameters on the supplied child.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: the child to associate with animation parameters
`params`	`ViewGroup.LayoutParams`: the child's layout parameters which hold the animation parameters
`index`	`int`: the index of the child in the view group
`count`	`int`: the number of children in the view group

attachViewToParent

Added in API level 1

void attachViewToParent (View child, 
                int index, 
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams params)

Attaches a view to this view group. Attaching a view assigns this group as the parent, sets the layout parameters and puts the view in the list of children so that it can be retrieved by calling getChildAt(int).

This method is intended to be lightweight and makes no assumptions about whether the parent or child should be redrawn. Proper use of this method will include also making any appropriate requestLayout() or invalidate() calls. For example, callers can post a Runnable which performs a requestLayout() on the next frame, after all detach/attach calls are finished, causing layout to be run prior to redrawing the view hierarchy.

This method should be called only for views which were detached from their parent.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: the child to attach
`index`	`int`: the index at which the child should be attached
`params`	`ViewGroup.LayoutParams`: the layout parameters of the child

void onDetachedFromWindow ()

This is called when the view is detached from a window. At this point it no longer has a surface for drawing.

onLayout

Added in API level 1

void onLayout (boolean changed,

Parameters
`changed`	`boolean`: This is a new size or position for this view
`l`	`int`: Left position, relative to parent
`t`	`int`: Top position, relative to parent

Parameters
`direction`	`int`: One of FOCUS_UP, FOCUS_DOWN, FOCUS_LEFT, and FOCUS_RIGHT
`previouslyFocusedRect`	`Rect`: The rectangle (in this View's coordinate system) to give a finer grained hint about where focus is coming from. May be null if there is no hint.

`boolean`	Whether focus was taken.

removeDetachedView

Added in API level 1

void removeDetachedView (View child, 
                boolean animate)

Finishes the removal of a detached view. This method will dispatch the detached from window event and notify the hierarchy change listener.

This method is intended to be lightweight and makes no assumptions about whether the parent or child should be redrawn. Proper use of this method will include also making any appropriate requestLayout() or invalidate() calls. For example, callers can post a Runnable which performs a requestLayout() on the next frame, after all detach/remove calls are finished, causing layout to be run prior to redrawing the view hierarchy.

Parameters
`child`	`View`: the child to be definitely removed from the view hierarchy
`animate`	`boolean`: if true and the view has an animation, the view is placed in the disappearing views list, otherwise, it is detached from the window

See also:

setChildrenDrawingCacheEnabled

Added in API level 1

void setChildrenDrawingCacheEnabled (boolean enabled)

Enables or disables the drawing cache for each child of this view group.

Parameters
`enabled`	`boolean`: true to enable the cache, false to dispose of it

setChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled

Added in API level 7

void setChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled (boolean enabled)

Tells the ViewGroup whether to draw its children in the order defined by the method getChildDrawingOrder(int, int).

Note that Z reordering, done by dispatchDraw(Canvas), will override custom child ordering done via this method.

Parameters
`enabled`	`boolean`: true if the order of the children when drawing is determined by `getChildDrawingOrder(int, int)`, false otherwise

See also:

setChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled

Added in API level 1

void setChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled (boolean enabled)

Tells the ViewGroup to draw its children using their drawing cache. This property is ignored when isAlwaysDrawnWithCacheEnabled() is true. A child's drawing cache will be used only if it has been enabled. Subclasses should call this method to start and stop using the drawing cache when they perform performance sensitive operations, like scrolling or animating.

Parameters
`enabled`	`boolean`: true if children should be drawn with their cache, false otherwise

See also:

setStaticTransformationsEnabled

Added in API level 3

void setStaticTransformationsEnabled (boolean enabled)

When this property is set to true, this ViewGroup supports static transformations on children; this causes getChildStaticTransformation(View, android.view.animation.Transformation) to be invoked when a child is drawn. Any subclass overriding getChildStaticTransformation(View, android.view.animation.Transformation) should set this property to true.

Parameters
`enabled`	`boolean`: True to enable static transformations on children, false otherwise.
