android:bottom

Related Methods

Public Constructors

public ShapeDrawable ()

ShapeDrawable constructor.

public ShapeDrawable (Shape s)

Creates a ShapeDrawable with a specified Shape.

Parameters
s the Shape that this ShapeDrawable should be

Public Methods

public 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 The canvas to draw into

public int getChangingConfigurations ()

Return a mask of the configuration parameters for which this drawable mau 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
  • Returns a mask of the changing configuration parameters, as defined by Configuration.

public Drawable.ConstantState getConstantState ()

public int getIntrinsicHeight ()

Return the intrinsic height of the underlying drawable object. Returns -1 if it has no intrinsic height, such as with a solid color.

public int getIntrinsicWidth ()

Return the intrinsic width of the underlying drawable object. Returns -1 if it has no intrinsic width, such as with a solid color.

public 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.

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 take into account a custom alpha or color filter that has been applied by the client through the setAlpha(int) or setColorFilter(ColorFilter) methods.

Returns
  • int The opacity class of the Drawable.

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

public Paint getPaint ()

Returns the Paint used to draw the shape.

public ShapeDrawable.ShaderFactory getShaderFactory ()

Returns the ShaderFactory used by this ShapeDrawable for requesting a Shader.

public Shape getShape ()

Returns the Shape of this ShapeDrawable.

public void inflate (Resources r, XmlPullParser parser, AttributeSet attrs)

public 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
  • This drawable.

public 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).

public void setColorFilter (ColorFilter cf)

Specify an optional colorFilter for the drawable. Pass null to remove any filters.

public void setDither (boolean dither)

Set to true to have the drawable dither its colors when drawn to a device with fewer than 8-bits per color component. This can improve the look on those devices, but can also slow down the drawing a little.

public void setIntrinsicHeight (int height)

Sets the intrinsic (default) height for this shape.

Parameters
height the intrinsic height (in pixels)

public void setIntrinsicWidth (int width)

Sets the intrinsic (default) width for this shape.

Parameters
width the intrinsic width (in pixels)

public void setPadding (int left, int top, int right, int bottom)

Sets padding for the shape.

Parameters
left padding for the left side (in pixels)
top padding for the top (in pixels)
right padding for the right side (in pixels)
bottom padding for the bottom (in pixels)

public 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.

public void setShaderFactory (ShapeDrawable.ShaderFactory fact)

Sets a ShaderFactory to which requests for a Shader object will be made.

Parameters
fact an instance of your ShaderFactory implementation

public void setShape (Shape s)

Sets the Shape of this ShapeDrawable.

Protected Methods

protected boolean inflateTag (String name, Resources r, XmlPullParser parser, AttributeSet attrs)

Subclasses override this to parse custom subelements. If you handle it, return true, else return super.inflateTag(...).

protected void onBoundsChange (Rect bounds)

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

protected void onDraw (Shape shape, Canvas canvas, Paint paint)

Called from the drawable's draw() method after the canvas has been set to draw the shape at (0,0). Subclasses can override for special effects such as multiple layers, stroking, etc.
