ShapeDrawable

public class ShapeDrawable
extends Drawable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.graphics.drawable.Drawable
     ↳ android.graphics.drawable.ShapeDrawable
Known Direct Subclasses


A Drawable object that draws primitive shapes. A ShapeDrawable takes a Shape object and manages its presence on the screen. If no Shape is given, then the ShapeDrawable will default to a RectShape.

This object can be defined in an XML file with the <shape> element.

Public constructors

ShapeDrawable

Added in API level 1
ShapeDrawable ()

ShapeDrawable constructor.

ShapeDrawable

Added in API level 1
ShapeDrawable (Shape s)

Creates a ShapeDrawable with a specified Shape.

Parameters
s Shape: the Shape that this ShapeDrawable should be

Public methods

applyTheme

Added in API level 21
void applyTheme (Resources.Theme t)

Applies the specified theme to this Drawable and its children.

Parameters
t Resources.Theme: the theme to apply

draw

Added in API level 1
void draw (Canvas canvas)

Draw in its bounds (set via setBounds) respecting optional effects such as alpha (set via setAlpha) and color filter (set via setColorFilter).

Parameters
canvas Canvas: The canvas to draw into

getAlpha

Added in API level 19
int getAlpha ()

Gets the current alpha value for the drawable. 0 means fully transparent, 255 means fully opaque. This method is implemented by Drawable subclasses and the value returned is specific to how that class treats alpha. The default return value is 255 if the class does not override this method to return a value specific to its use of alpha.

Returns
int

getChangingConfigurations

Added in API level 1
int getChangingConfigurations ()

Return a mask of the configuration parameters for which this drawable may change, requiring that it be re-created. The default implementation returns whatever was provided through setChangingConfigurations(int) or 0 by default. Subclasses may extend this to or in the changing configurations of any other drawables they hold.

Returns
int Returns a mask of the changing configuration parameters, as defined by ActivityInfo.

getConstantState

Added in API level 1
Drawable.ConstantState getConstantState ()

Return a Drawable.ConstantState instance that holds the shared state of this Drawable.

Returns
Drawable.ConstantState The ConstantState associated to that Drawable.

getIntrinsicHeight

Added in API level 1
int getIntrinsicHeight ()

Returns the drawable's intrinsic height.

Intrinsic height is the height at which the drawable would like to be laid out, including any inherent padding. If the drawable has no intrinsic height, such as a solid color, this method returns -1.

Returns
int the intrinsic height, or -1 if no intrinsic height

getIntrinsicWidth

Added in API level 1
int getIntrinsicWidth ()

Returns the drawable's intrinsic width.

Intrinsic width is the width at which the drawable would like to be laid out, including any inherent padding. If the drawable has no intrinsic width, such as a solid color, this method returns -1.

Returns
int the intrinsic width, or -1 if no intrinsic width

getOpacity

Added in API level 1
int getOpacity ()

Return the opacity/transparency of this Drawable. The returned value is one of the abstract format constants in PixelFormat: UNKNOWN, TRANSLUCENT, TRANSPARENT, or OPAQUE.

An OPAQUE drawable is one that draws all all content within its bounds, completely covering anything behind the drawable. A TRANSPARENT drawable is one that draws nothing within its bounds, allowing everything behind it to show through. A TRANSLUCENT drawable is a drawable in any other state, where the drawable will draw some, but not all, of the content within its bounds and at least some content behind the drawable will be visible. If the visibility of the drawable's contents cannot be determined, the safest/best return value is TRANSLUCENT.

Generally a Drawable should be as conservative as possible with the value it returns. For example, if it contains multiple child drawables and only shows one of them at a time, if only one of the children is TRANSLUCENT and the others are OPAQUE then TRANSLUCENT should be returned. You can use the method resolveOpacity(int, int) to perform a standard reduction of two opacities to the appropriate single output.

Note that the returned value does not necessarily take into account a custom alpha or color filter that has been applied by the client through the setAlpha(int) or setColorFilter(ColorFilter) methods. Some subclasses, such as BitmapDrawable, ColorDrawable, and GradientDrawable, do account for the value of setAlpha(int), but the general behavior is dependent upon the implementation of the subclass.

Returns
int int The opacity class of the Drawable.

getOutline

Added in API level 21
void getOutline (Outline outline)

Called to get the drawable to populate the Outline that defines its drawing area.

This method is called by the default ViewOutlineProvider to define the outline of the View.

The default behavior defines the outline to be the bounding rectangle of 0 alpha. Subclasses that wish to convey a different shape or alpha value must override this method.

Parameters
outline Outline

getPadding

Added in API level 1
boolean getPadding (Rect padding)

Return in padding the insets suggested by this Drawable for placing content inside the drawable's bounds. Positive values move toward the center of the Drawable (set Rect.inset).

Parameters
padding Rect
Returns
boolean true if this drawable actually has a padding, else false. When false is returned, the padding is always set to 0.

getPaint

Added in API level 1
Paint getPaint ()

Returns the Paint used to draw the shape.

Returns
Paint

getShaderFactory

Added in API level 1
ShapeDrawable.ShaderFactory getShaderFactory ()

Returns the Shape of this ShapeDrawable.

Returns
Shape

inflate

Added in API level 21
void inflate (Resources r, 
                XmlPullParser parser, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                Resources.Theme theme)

Inflate this Drawable from an XML resource optionally styled by a theme. This can't be called more than once for each Drawable. Note that framework may have called this once to create the Drawable instance from XML resource.

Parameters
r Resources: Resources used to resolve attribute values
parser XmlPullParser: XML parser from which to inflate this Drawable
attrs AttributeSet: Base set of attribute values
theme Resources.Theme: Theme to apply, may be null
Throws
XmlPullParserException
IOException

isStateful

Added in API level 1
boolean isStateful ()

Indicates whether this drawable will change its appearance based on state. Clients can use this to determine whether it is necessary to calculate their state and call setState.

Returns
boolean True if this drawable changes its appearance based on state, false otherwise.

mutate

Added in API level 3
Drawable mutate ()

Make this drawable mutable. This operation cannot be reversed. A mutable drawable is guaranteed to not share its state with any other drawable. This is especially useful when you need to modify properties of drawables loaded from resources. By default, all drawables instances loaded from the same resource share a common state; if you modify the state of one instance, all the other instances will receive the same modification. Calling this method on a mutable Drawable will have no effect.

Returns
Drawable This drawable.

setAlpha

Added in API level 1
void setAlpha (int alpha)

Set the alpha level for this drawable [0..255]. Note that this drawable also has a color in its paint, which has an alpha as well. These two values are automatically combined during drawing. Thus if the color's alpha is 75% (i.e. 192) and the drawable's alpha is 50% (i.e. 128), then the combined alpha that will be used during drawing will be 37.5% (i.e. 96).

Parameters
alpha int

setColorFilter

Added in API level 1
void setColorFilter (ColorFilter colorFilter)

Specify an optional color filter for the drawable.

If a Drawable has a ColorFilter, each output pixel of the Drawable's drawing contents will be modified by the color filter before it is blended onto the render target of a Canvas.

Pass null to remove any existing color filter.

Note: Setting a non-null color filter disables tint.

Parameters
colorFilter ColorFilter: The color filter to apply, or null to remove the existing color filter

setDither

Added in API level 1
void setDither (boolean dither)

This method is deprecated.
This property is ignored.

Set to true to have the drawable dither its colors when drawn to a device with fewer than 8-bits per color component.

Parameters
dither boolean

setIntrinsicHeight

Added in API level 1
void setIntrinsicHeight (int height)

Sets the intrinsic (default) height for this shape.

Parameters
height int: the intrinsic height (in pixels)

void setIntrinsicWidth (int width)

Sets the intrinsic (default) width for this shape.

Parameters
width int: the intrinsic width (in pixels)

setPadding

Added in API level 1
void setPadding (Rect padding)

Sets padding for this shape, defined by a Rect object. Define the padding in the Rect object as: left, top, right, bottom.

Parameters
padding Rect

setPadding

Added in API level 1
void setPadding (int left, 
                int top, 
                int right, 
                int bottom)

Sets padding for the shape.

Sets the Shape of this ShapeDrawable.

Parameters
s Shape

setTintList

Added in API level 21
void setTintList (ColorStateList tint)

Specifies tint color for this drawable as a color state list.

A Drawable's drawing content will be blended together with its tint before it is drawn to the screen. This functions similarly to setColorFilter(int, PorterDuff.Mode).

Note: Setting a color filter via setColorFilter(ColorFilter) or setColorFilter(int, PorterDuff.Mode) overrides tint.

Parameters
tint ColorStateList: Color state list to use for tinting this drawable, or null to clear the tint

setTintMode

Added in API level 21
void setTintMode (PorterDuff.Mode tintMode)

Specifies a tint blending mode for this drawable.

Defines how this drawable's tint color should be blended into the drawable before it is drawn to screen. Default tint mode is SRC_IN.

Note: Setting a color filter via setColorFilter(ColorFilter) or setColorFilter(int, PorterDuff.Mode) overrides tint.

Parameters
tintMode PorterDuff.Mode: A Porter-Duff blending mode

Parameters
shape Shape
canvas Canvas
paint Paint

onStateChange

Added in API level 1
boolean onStateChange (int[] stateSet)

Override this in your subclass to change appearance if you recognize the specified state.

Parameters
stateSet int
Returns
boolean Returns true if the state change has caused the appearance of the Drawable to change (that is, it needs to be drawn), else false if it looks the same and there is no need to redraw it since its last state.

Hooray!
