Added in API level 3
FrameLayout.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams (AttributeSet attrs)

Returns a new set of layout parameters based on the supplied attributes set.

Parameters
attrs AttributeSet: the attributes to build the layout parameters from
Returns
FrameLayout.LayoutParams an instance of ViewGroup.LayoutParams or one of its descendants

getAppWidgetId

Added in API level 3
int getAppWidgetId ()

Returns
int

getAppWidgetInfo

Added in API level 3
AppWidgetProviderInfo getAppWidgetInfo ()

Returns
AppWidgetProviderInfo

getDefaultPaddingForWidget

Added in API level 15
Rect getDefaultPaddingForWidget (Context context, 
                ComponentName component, 
                Rect padding)

As of ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH we are automatically adding padding to widgets targeting ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH and higher. The new widget design guidelines strongly recommend that widget developers do not add extra padding to their widgets. This will help achieve consistency among widgets. Note: this method is only needed by developers of AppWidgetHosts. The method is provided in order for the AppWidgetHost to account for the automatic padding when computing the number of cells to allocate to a particular widget.

Parameters
context Context: the current context
component ComponentName: the component name of the widget
padding Rect: Rect in which to place the output, if null, a new Rect will be allocated and returned
Returns
Rect default padding for this widget, in pixels

setAppWidget

Added in API level 3
void setAppWidget (int appWidgetId, 
                AppWidgetProviderInfo info)

Set the AppWidget that will be displayed by this view. This method also adds default padding to widgets, as described in getDefaultPaddingForWidget(Context, ComponentName, Rect) and can be overridden in order to add custom padding.

Parameters
appWidgetId int
info AppWidgetProviderInfo

updateAppWidget

Added in API level 3
void updateAppWidget (RemoteViews remoteViews)

Process a set of RemoteViews coming in as an update from the AppWidget provider. Will animate into these new views as needed

Parameters
remoteViews RemoteViews

updateAppWidgetOptions

Added in API level 16
void updateAppWidgetOptions (Bundle options)

Specify some extra information for the widget provider. Causes a callback to the AppWidgetProvider.

Parameters
options Bundle: The bundle of options information.

updateAppWidgetSize

Added in API level 16
void updateAppWidgetSize (Bundle newOptions, 
                int minWidth, 
                int minHeight, 
                int maxWidth, 
                int maxHeight)

Provide guidance about the size of this widget to the AppWidgetManager. The widths and heights should correspond to the full area the AppWidgetHostView is given. Padding added by the framework will be accounted for automatically. This information gets embedded into the AppWidget options and causes a callback to the AppWidgetProvider.

Parameters
newOptions Bundle: The bundle of options, in addition to the size information, can be null.
minWidth int: The minimum width in dips that the widget will be displayed at.
minHeight int: The maximum height in dips that the widget will be displayed at.
maxWidth int: The maximum width in dips that the widget will be displayed at.
maxHeight int: The maximum height in dips that the widget will be displayed at.

dispatchRestoreInstanceState

Added in API level 3
void dispatchRestoreInstanceState (SparseArray<Parcelable> container)

Called by restoreHierarchyState(android.util.SparseArray) to retrieve the state for this view and its children. May be overridden to modify how restoring happens to a view's children; for example, some views may want to not store state for their children.

Parameters
container SparseArray: The SparseArray which holds previously saved state.

dispatchSaveInstanceState

Added in API level 3
void dispatchSaveInstanceState (SparseArray<Parcelable> container)

Called by saveHierarchyState(android.util.SparseArray) to store the state for this view and its children. May be overridden to modify how freezing happens to a view's children; for example, some views may want to not store state for their children.

Parameters
container SparseArray: The SparseArray in which to save the view's state.

drawChild

Added in API level 3
boolean drawChild (Canvas canvas, 
                View child, 
                long drawingTime)

Draw one child of this View Group. This method is responsible for getting the canvas in the right state. This includes clipping, translating so that the child's scrolled origin is at 0, 0, and applying any animation transformations.

Parameters
canvas Canvas: The canvas on which to draw the child
child View: Who to draw
drawingTime long: The time at which draw is occurring
Returns
boolean True if an invalidate() was issued

getDefaultView

Added in API level 3

                int right, 
                int bottom)

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