XML attributes

android:eventsInterceptionEnabled

Defines whether the overlay should intercept the motion events when a gesture is recognized.

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 eventsInterceptionEnabled.

android:fadeDuration

Duration, in milliseconds, of the fade out effect after the user is done drawing a gesture.

Must be an integer value, such as "100".

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 fadeDuration.

android:fadeEnabled

Defines whether the gesture will automatically fade out after being recognized.

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.
