DrawerLayout

public class DrawerLayout
extends ViewGroup

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.View
     ↳ android.view.ViewGroup
       ↳ android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout


DrawerLayout acts as a top-level container for window content that allows for interactive "drawer" views to be pulled out from one or both vertical edges of the window.

Drawer positioning and layout is controlled using the android:layout_gravity attribute on child views corresponding to which side of the view you want the drawer to emerge from: left or right (or start/end on platform versions that support layout direction.) Note that you can only have one drawer view for each vertical edge of the window. If your layout configures more than one drawer view per vertical edge of the window, an exception will be thrown at runtime.

To use a DrawerLayout, position your primary content view as the first child with width and height of match_parent and no layout_gravity>. Add drawers as child views after the main content view and set the layout_gravity appropriately. Drawers commonly use match_parent for height with a fixed width.

DrawerLayout.DrawerListener can be used to monitor the state and motion of drawer views. Avoid performing expensive operations such as layout during animation as it can cause stuttering; try to perform expensive operations during the STATE_IDLE state. DrawerLayout.SimpleDrawerListener offers default/no-op implementations of each callback method.

As per the Android Design guide, any drawers positioned to the left/start should always contain content for navigating around the application, whereas any drawers positioned to the right/end should always contain actions to take on the current content. This preserves the same navigation left, actions right structure present in the Action Bar and elsewhere.

For more information about how to use DrawerLayout, read Creating a Navigation Drawer.

Returns
boolean true if the given drawer view is in an open state

See also:

isDrawerOpen

Parameters
drawerGravity int: Gravity of the drawer to check
Returns
boolean true if the given drawer is visible on-screen

onDraw

void onDraw (Canvas c)

Implement this to do your drawing.

Parameters
c Canvas: the canvas on which the background will be drawn

onInterceptTouchEvent

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:

  1. You will receive the down event here.
  2. 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.
  3. 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().
  4. 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.

onKeyDown

boolean onKeyDown (int keyCode, 
                KeyEvent event)

Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyDown(): perform press of the view when KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER or KEYCODE_ENTER is released, if the view is enabled and clickable.

Key presses in software keyboards will generally NOT trigger this listener, although some may elect to do so in some situations. Do not rely on this to catch software key presses.

Parameters
keyCode int: a key code that represents the button pressed, from KeyEvent
event KeyEvent: the KeyEvent object that defines the button action
Returns
boolean If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

onKeyUp

boolean onKeyUp (int keyCode, 
                KeyEvent event)

Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyUp(): perform clicking of the view when KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER, KEYCODE_ENTER or KEYCODE_SPACE is released.

Key presses in software keyboards will generally NOT trigger this listener, although some may elect to do so in some situations. Do not rely on this to catch software key presses.

Parameters
keyCode int: A key code that represents the button pressed, from KeyEvent.
event KeyEvent: The KeyEvent object that defines the button action.
Returns
boolean If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

onRtlPropertiesChanged

void onRtlPropertiesChanged (int layoutDirection)

Called when any RTL property (layout direction or text direction or text alignment) has been changed. Subclasses need to override this method to take care of cached information that depends on the resolved layout direction, or to inform child views that inherit their layout direction. The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters
layoutDirection int: the direction of the layout

onTouchEvent

boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev)

Implement this method to handle touch screen motion events.

If this method is used to detect click actions, it is recommended that the actions be performed by implementing and calling performClick(). This will ensure consistent system behavior, including:

  • obeying click sound preferences
  • dispatching OnClickListener calls
  • handling ACTION_CLICK when accessibility features are enabled

Parameters
ev MotionEvent: The motion event.
Returns
boolean True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

openDrawer

void openDrawer (View drawerView, 
                boolean animate)

Parameters
listener DrawerLayout.DrawerListener: Listener to remove from being notified of drawer events

See also:

requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent

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.

requestLayout

void requestLayout ()

Call this when something has changed which has invalidated the layout of this view. This will schedule a layout pass of the view tree. This should not be called while the view hierarchy is currently in a layout pass (isInLayout(). If layout is happening, the request may be honored at the end of the current layout pass (and then layout will run again) or after the current frame is drawn and the next layout occurs.

Subclasses which override this method should call the superclass method to handle possible request-during-layout errors correctly.

setDrawerElevation

onMeasure

void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, 
                int heightMeasureSpec)

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 overridden 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 int: horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.
heightMeasureSpec int: vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec.

onRestoreInstanceState

void onRestoreInstanceState (Parcelable state)

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

onSaveInstanceState

Parcelable onSaveInstanceState ()

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
Parcelable 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.

Hooray!
