Known Direct Subclasses |
Displays text to the user and optionally allows them to edit it. A TextView
is a complete text editor, however the basic class is configured to not
allow editing; see EditText
for a subclass that configures the text
view for editing.
To allow users to copy some or all of the TextView's value and paste it somewhere else, set the
XML attribute android:textIsSelectable
to "true" or call
setTextIsSelectable(true)
. The textIsSelectable
flag
allows users to make selection gestures in the TextView, which in turn triggers the system's
built-in copy/paste controls.

Additional features you can enable in an IME associated with an editor
to improve the integration with your application. The constants
here correspond to those defined by

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constant values.
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
normal | 0x00000000 | There are no special semantics associated with this editor. |
actionUnspecified | 0x00000000 | There is no specific action associated with this editor, let the
editor come up with its own if it can.
Corresponds to
IME_NULL . |
actionNone | 0x00000001 | This editor has no action associated with it.
Corresponds to
IME_ACTION_NONE . |
actionGo | 0x00000002 | The action key performs a "go"
operation to take the user to the target of the text they typed.
Typically used, for example, when entering a URL.
Corresponds to
IME_ACTION_GO . |
actionSearch | 0x00000003 | The action key performs a "search"
operation, taking the user to the results of searching for the text
the have typed (in whatever context is appropriate).
Corresponds to
IME_ACTION_SEARCH . |
actionSend | 0x00000004 | The action key performs a "send"
operation, delivering the text to its target. This is typically used
when composing a message.
Corresponds to
IME_ACTION_SEND . |
actionNext | 0x00000005 | The action key performs a "next"
operation, taking the user to the next field that will accept text.
Corresponds to

operation, taking the user to the previous field that will accept text.
Corresponds to
IME_ACTION_PREVIOUS . |
flagNoFullscreen | 0x2000000 | Used to request that the IME never go
into fullscreen mode. Applications need to be aware that the flag is not
a guarantee, and not all IMEs will respect it.
Corresponds to
|
flagNavigatePrevious | 0x4000000 | Like flagNavigateNext, but
specifies there is something interesting that a backward navigation
can focus on. If the user selects the IME's facility to backward
navigate, this will show up in the application as an actionPrevious
at InputConnection.performEditorAction(int) .
Corresponds to
|
flagNavigateNext | 0x8000000 | Used to specify that there is something
interesting that a forward navigation can focus on. This is like using
actionNext, except allows the IME to be multiline (with
an enter key) as well as provide forward navigation. Note that some
IMEs may not be able to do this, especially when running on a small
screen where there is little space. In that case it does not need to
present a UI for this option. Like actionNext, if the
user selects the IME's facility to forward navigate, this will show up
in the application at
InputConnection.performEditorAction(int) .
Corresponds to
|
flagNoExtractUi | 0x10000000 | Used to specify that the IME does not need
to show its extracted text UI. For input methods that may be fullscreen,
often when in landscape mode, this allows them to be smaller and let part
of the application be shown behind. Though there will likely be limited
access to the application available from the user, it can make the
experience of a (mostly) fullscreen IME less jarring. Note that when
this flag is specified the IME may not be set up to be able
to display text, so it should only be used in situations where this is
not needed.
Corresponds to
|
flagNoAccessoryAction | 0x20000000 | Used in conjunction with a custom action, this indicates that the
action should not be available as an accessory button when the
input method is full-screen.
Note that by setting this flag, there can be cases where the action
is simply never available to the user. Setting this generally means
that you think showing text being edited is more important than the
action you have supplied.
Corresponds to
|
flagNoEnterAction | 0x40000000 | Used in conjunction with a custom action,
this indicates that the action should not be available in-line as
a replacement for the "enter" key. Typically this is
because the action has such a significant impact or is not recoverable
enough that accidentally hitting it should be avoided, such as sending
a message. Note that TextView will
automatically set this flag for you on multi-line text views.

flagForceAscii | 0x80000000 | Used to request that the IME should be capable of inputting ASCII
characters. The intention of this flag is to ensure that the user
can type Roman alphabet characters in a TextView
used for, typically, account ID or password input. It is expected that IMEs
normally are able to input ASCII even without being told so (such IMEs
already respect this flag in a sense), but there could be some cases they
aren't when, for instance, only non-ASCII input languagaes like Arabic,
Greek, Hebrew, Russian are enabled in the IME. Applications need to be
aware that the flag is not a guarantee, and not all IMEs will respect it.
However, it is strongly recommended for IME authors to respect this flag
especially when their IME could end up with a state that has only non-ASCII
input languages enabled.

void addTextChangedListener (TextWatcher watcher)
Adds a TextWatcher to the list of those whose methods are called whenever this TextView's text changes.
In 1.0, the afterTextChanged(Editable)
method was erroneously
not called after setText(char[], int, int)
calls. Now, doing setText(char[], int, int)
if there are any text changed listeners forces the buffer type to
Editable if it would not otherwise be and does call this method.
Parameters | |

Use BaseInputConnection.removeComposingSpans()
to remove any IME composing
state from this text view.
void computeScroll ()
Called by a parent to request that a child update its values for mScrollX
and mScrollY if necessary. This will typically be done if the child is
animating a scroll using a Scroller
object.

boolean hasOverlappingRendering ()
Returns whether this View has content which overlaps.
This function, intended to be overridden by specific View types, is an optimization when alpha is set on a view. If rendering overlaps in a view with alpha < 1, that view is drawn to an offscreen buffer and then composited into place, which can be expensive. If the view has no overlapping rendering, the view can draw each primitive with the appropriate alpha value directly. An example of overlapping rendering is a TextView with a background image, such as a Button. An example of non-overlapping rendering is a TextView with no background, or an ImageView with only the foreground image. The default implementation returns true; subclasses should override if they have cases which can be optimized.
The current implementation of the saveLayer and saveLayerAlpha methods in Canvas
necessitates that a View return true if it uses the methods internally without passing the
CLIP_TO_LAYER_SAVE_FLAG
.
Note: The return value of this method is ignored if forceHasOverlappingRendering(boolean)
has been called on this view.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the content in this view might overlap, false otherwise. |
boolean hasSelection ()
Return true iff there is a selection inside this text view.

default implementation just checks with InputMethodManager
.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
boolean isSuggestionsEnabled ()
Return whether or not suggestions are enabled on this TextView. The suggestions are generated
by the IME or by the spell checker as the user types. This is done by adding
SuggestionSpan
s to the text.
When suggestions are enabled (default), this list of suggestions will be displayed when the
user asks for them on these parts of the text. This value depends on the inputType of this
TextView.
The class of the input type must be TYPE_CLASS_TEXT
.
In addition, the type variation must be one of
TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_NORMAL
,
TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_SUBJECT
,
TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_LONG_MESSAGE
,
TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_SHORT_MESSAGE
or
TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_WEB_EDIT_TEXT

And finally, the TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS
flag must not be set.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the suggestions popup window is enabled, based on the inputType. |
boolean isTextSelectable ()
Returns the state of the textIsSelectable
flag (See
setTextIsSelectable()
). Although you have to set this flag
to allow users to select and copy text in a non-editable TextView, the content of an
EditText
can always be selected, independently of the value of this flag.

boolean moveCursorToVisibleOffset ()
Move the cursor, if needed, so that it is at an offset that is visible to the user. This will not move the cursor if it represents more than one character (a selection range). This will only work if the TextView contains spannable text; otherwise it will do nothing.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
True if the cursor was actually moved, false otherwise. |
void onBeginBatchEdit ()
Called by the framework in response to a request to begin a batch
of edit operations through a call to link beginBatchEdit()
.
boolean onCheckIsTextEditor ()
Check whether the called view is a text editor, in which case it
would make sense to automatically display a soft input window for
it. Subclasses should override this if they implement
onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo)
to return true if
a call on that method would return a non-null InputConnection, and
they are really a first-class editor that the user would normally
start typing on when the go into a window containing your view.
The default implementation always returns false. This does
not mean that its onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo)
will not be called or the user can not otherwise perform edits on your
view; it is just a hint to the system that this is not the primary
purpose of this view.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
Returns true if this view is a text editor, else false. |
void onCommitCompletion (CompletionInfo text)
Called by the framework in response to a text completion from
the current input method, provided by it calling
InputConnection.commitCompletion()
. The default implementation does
nothing; text views that are supporting auto-completion should override
this to do their desired behavior.
Parameters | |
---|---|
text |
CompletionInfo :
The auto complete text the user has selected.
|
void onCommitCorrection (CorrectionInfo info)
Called by the framework in response to a text auto-correction (such as fixing a typo using a
a dictionnary) from the current input method, provided by it calling
commitCorrection(CorrectionInfo)
InputConnection.commitCorrection()}. The default
implementation flashes the background of the corrected word to provide feedback to the user.
Parameters | |
---|---|
info |
CorrectionInfo :
The auto correct info about the text that was corrected.
|
InputConnection onCreateInputConnection (EditorInfo outAttrs)
Create a new InputConnection for an InputMethod to interact with the view. The default implementation returns null, since it doesn't support input methods. You can override this to implement such support. This is only needed for views that take focus and text input.
When implementing this, you probably also want to implement
onCheckIsTextEditor()
to indicate you will return a
non-null InputConnection.
Also, take good care to fill in the EditorInfo
object correctly and in its entirety, so that the connected IME can rely
on its values. For example, initialSelStart
and initialSelEnd
members
must be filled in with the correct cursor position for IMEs to work correctly
with your application.
Parameters | |
---|---|
outAttrs |
EditorInfo :
Fill in with attribute information about the connection.
|
Returns | |
---|---|
InputConnection |
boolean onDragEvent (DragEvent event)
Handles drag events sent by the system following a call to
startDragAndDrop()
.
When the system calls this method, it passes a
DragEvent
object. A call to
getAction()
returns one of the action type constants defined
in DragEvent. The method uses these to determine what is happening in the drag and drop
operation.
Parameters | |
---|---|
event |
DragEvent :
The DragEvent sent by the system.
The getAction() method returns an action type constant defined
in DragEvent, indicating the type of drag event represented by this object. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the method was successful, otherwise false .
The method should return
The method should also return |
void onEditorAction (int actionCode)
Called when an attached input method calls
InputConnection.performEditorAction()
for this text view. The default implementation will call your action
listener supplied to setOnEditorActionListener(TextView.OnEditorActionListener)
, or perform
a standard operation for EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT
, EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_PREVIOUS
, or EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE
.
For backwards compatibility, if no IME options have been set and the text view would not normally advance focus on enter, then the NEXT and DONE actions received here will be turned into an enter key down/up pair to go through the normal key handling.
Parameters | |
---|---|
actionCode |
int :
The code of the action being performed. |
void onEndBatchEdit ()
Called by the framework in response to a request to end a batch
of edit operations through a call to link endBatchEdit()
.
boolean onGenericMotionEvent (MotionEvent event)
Implement this method to handle generic motion events.
Generic motion events describe joystick movements, mouse hovers, track pad
touches, scroll wheel movements and other input events. The
source
of the motion event specifies
the class of input that was received. Implementations of this method
must examine the bits in the source before processing the event.
The following code example shows how this is done.
Generic motion events with source class SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER
are delivered to the view under the pointer. All other generic motion events are
delivered to the focused view.
public boolean onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event) { if (event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK)) { if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) { // process the joystick movement... return true; } } if (event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER)) { switch (event.getAction()) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_MOVE: // process the mouse hover movement... return true; case MotionEvent.ACTION_SCROLL: // process the scroll wheel movement... return true; } } return super.onGenericMotionEvent(event); }
Parameters | |
---|---|
event |
MotionEvent :
The generic motion event being processed. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
True if the event was handled, false otherwise. |
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. |
boolean onKeyMultiple (int keyCode, int repeatCount, KeyEvent event)
Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyMultiple()
: always returns false (doesn't handle
the event).
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 . |

int :
The number of times the action was made. |
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. |
boolean onKeyPreIme (int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
Handle a key event before it is processed by any input method associated with the view hierarchy. This can be used to intercept key events in special situations before the IME consumes them; a typical example would be handling the BACK key to update the application's UI instead of allowing the IME to see it and close itself.
Parameters | |
---|---|
keyCode |
int :
The value in event.getKeyCode(). |
event |
KeyEvent :
Description of the key event. |
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. |
boolean onKeyShortcut (int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
Called on the focused view when a key shortcut event is not handled.
Override this method to implement local key shortcuts for the View.
Key shortcuts can also be implemented by setting the
shortcut
property of menu items.
Parameters | |
---|---|
keyCode |
int :
The value in event.getKeyCode(). |
event |
KeyEvent :
Description of the key event. |
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. |
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. |
boolean onPreDraw ()
Callback method to be invoked when the view tree is about to be drawn. At this point, all views in the tree have been measured and given a frame. Clients can use this to adjust their scroll bounds or even to request a new layout before drawing occurs.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
Return true to proceed with the current drawing pass, or false to cancel. |
boolean onPrivateIMECommand (String action, Bundle data)
Called by the framework in response to a private command from the
current method, provided by it calling
InputConnection.performPrivateCommand()
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
action |
String :
The action name of the command. |
data |
Bundle :
Any additional data for the command. This may be null. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |

Fill in with structured view data. The default implementation
fills in all data that can be inferred from the view itself.
|
PointerIcon onResolvePointerIcon (MotionEvent event, int pointerIndex)
Returns the pointer icon for the motion event, or null if it doesn't specify the icon. The default implementation does not care the location or event types, but some subclasses may use it (such as WebViews).
Parameters | |
---|---|
event |
MotionEvent :
The MotionEvent from a mouse |
pointerIndex |
int :
The index of the pointer for which to retrieve the PointerIcon .
This will be between 0 and getPointerCount() . |
Returns | |

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() . |
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 |
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. |
void onScreenStateChanged (int screenState)
This method is called whenever the state of the screen this view is attached to changes. A state change will usually occurs when the screen turns on or off (whether it happens automatically or the user does it manually.)
Parameters | |
---|---|
screenState |
int :
The new state of the screen. Can be either
SCREEN_STATE_ON or SCREEN_STATE_OFF
|
boolean onTextContextMenuItem (int id)
Called when a context menu option for the text view is selected. Currently
this will be one of selectAll
, cut
,
copy
, paste
or shareText
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
id |
int
|
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the context menu item action was performed. |
boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent event)
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:
ACTION_CLICK
when
accessibility features are enabled
Parameters | |
---|---|
event |
MotionEvent :
The motion event. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
True if the event was handled, false otherwise. |
boolean onTrackballEvent (MotionEvent event)
Implement this method to handle trackball motion events. The
relative movement of the trackball since the last event
can be retrieve with MotionEvent.getX()
and
MotionEvent.getY()
. These are normalized so
that a movement of 1 corresponds to the user pressing one DPAD key (so
they will often be fractional values, representing the more fine-grained
movement information available from a trackball).
Parameters | |
---|---|
event |
MotionEvent :
The motion event. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
True if the event was handled, false otherwise. |
void onWindowFocusChanged (boolean hasWindowFocus)
Called when the window containing this view gains or loses focus. Note that this is separate from view focus: to receive key events, both your view and its window must have focus. If a window is displayed on top of yours that takes input focus, then your own window will lose focus but the view focus will remain unchanged.
Parameters | |
---|---|
hasWindowFocus |
boolean :
True if the window containing this view now has
focus, false otherwise.
|
boolean performLongClick ()
Calls this view's OnLongClickListener, if it is defined. Invokes the context menu if the OnLongClickListener did not consume the event.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if one of the above receivers consumed the event,
false otherwise
|
void removeTextChangedListener (TextWatcher watcher)
Removes the specified TextWatcher from the list of those whose methods are called whenever this TextView's text changes.
Parameters | |
---|---|
watcher |
TextWatcher
|
void setAllCaps (boolean allCaps)
Sets the properties of this field to transform input to ALL CAPS display. This may use a "small caps" formatting if available. This setting will be ignored if this field is editable or selectable. This call replaces the current transformation method. Disabling this will not necessarily restore the previous behavior from before this was enabled.
Related XML Attributes:
Parameters | |
---|---|
allCaps |
boolean

setFocusable(boolean)
again after calling this to get the focusability
back the way you want it.
Parameters | |
---|---|
movement |
MovementMethod
|
void setOnEditorActionListener (TextView.OnEditorActionListener l)
Set a special listener to be called when an action is performed on the text view. This will be called when the enter key is pressed, or when an action supplied to the IME is selected by the user. Setting this means that the normal hard key event will not insert a newline into the text view, even if it is multi-line; holding down the ALT modifier will, however, allow the user to insert a newline character.
Parameters | |
---|---|
l |
TextView.OnEditorActionListener
|
void setPadding (int left, int top, int right, int bottom)
Sets the padding. The view may add on the space required to display
the scrollbars, depending on the style and visibility of the scrollbars.
So the values returned from getPaddingLeft()
, getPaddingTop()
,
getPaddingRight()
and getPaddingBottom()
may be different
from the values set in this call.
Parameters | |
---|---|
left |
int :

|
void setPaddingRelative (int start, int top, int end, int bottom)
Sets the relative padding. The view may add on the space required to display
the scrollbars, depending on the style and visibility of the scrollbars.
So the values returned from getPaddingStart()
, getPaddingTop()
,
getPaddingEnd()
and getPaddingBottom()
may be different
from the values set in this call.
Parameters | |
---|---|
start |
int :
the start padding in pixels |

void setTextIsSelectable (boolean selectable)
Sets whether the content of this view is selectable by the user. The default is
false
, meaning that the content is not selectable.
When you use a TextView to display a useful piece of information to the user (such as a
contact's address), make it selectable, so that the user can select and copy its
content. You can also use set the XML attribute
TextView_textIsSelectable
to "true".
When you call this method to set the value of textIsSelectable
, it sets
the flags focusable

Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
True if padding offset must be applied, false otherwise. |
void onAttachedToWindow ()
This is called when the view is attached to a window. At this point it
has a Surface and will start drawing. Note that this function is
guaranteed to be called before onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas)
,
however it may be called any time before the first onDraw -- including
before or after onMeasure(int, int)
.
void onConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)
Called when the current configuration of the resources being used
by the application have changed. You can use this to decide when
to reload resources that can changed based on orientation and other
configuration characteristics. You only need to use this if you are
not relying on the normal Activity
mechanism of
recreating the activity instance upon a configuration change.
Parameters | |

if non-zero, this is the number of extra entries you
would like in the returned array in which you can place your own
states. |
Returns | |
---|---|
int[] |
Returns an array holding the current Drawable state of
the view. |
void onDraw (Canvas canvas)
Implement this to do your drawing.
Parameters | |
---|---|
canvas |
Canvas :
the canvas on which the background will be drawn
|
void onFocusChanged (boolean focused, int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect)
Called by the view system when the focus state of this view changes. When the focus change event is caused by directional navigation, direction and previouslyFocusedRect provide insight into where the focus is coming from. When overriding, be sure to call up through to the super class so that the standard focus handling will occur.
Parameters | |
---|---|
focused |
boolean :
True if the View has focus; false otherwise. |
direction |
int :
The direction focus has moved when requestFocus()
is called to give this view focus. Values are
FOCUS_UP , FOCUS_DOWN , FOCUS_LEFT ,
FOCUS_RIGHT , FOCUS_FORWARD , or FOCUS_BACKWARD .
It may not always apply, in which case use the default. |
previouslyFocusedRect |
Rect :
The rectangle, in this view's coordinate
system, of the previously focused view. If applicable, this will be
passed in as finer grained information about where the focus is coming
from (in addition to direction). Will be null otherwise.
|
void onLayout (boolean changed, int left, int top, 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 |

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 . |
void onScrollChanged (int horiz, int vert, int oldHoriz, int oldVert)
This is called in response to an internal scroll in this view (i.e., the
view scrolled its own contents). This is typically as a result of
scrollBy(int, int)
or scrollTo(int, int)
having been
called.
Parameters | |
---|---|
horiz |
int :
Current horizontal scroll origin. |
vert |
int :
Current vertical scroll origin. |
oldHoriz |
int :
Previous horizontal scroll origin. |
oldVert |
int :
Previous vertical scroll origin.
|
void onSelectionChanged (int selStart, int selEnd)
This method is called when the selection has changed, in case any subclasses would like to know.
Parameters | |
---|---|
selStart |
int :
The new selection start location. |
selEnd |
int :
The new selection end location.
|
void onTextChanged (CharSequence text, int start, int lengthBefore, int lengthAfter)
This method is called when the text is changed, in case any subclasses
would like to know.
Within text
, the lengthAfter
characters
beginning at start
have just replaced old text that had
length lengthBefore
. It is an error to attempt to make
changes to text
from this callback.
Parameters | |
---|---|
text |
CharSequence :
The text the TextView is displaying |
start |
int :
The offset of the start of the range of the text that was

boolean verifyDrawable (Drawable who)
If your view subclass is displaying its own Drawable objects, it should override this function and return true for any Drawable it is displaying. This allows animations for those drawables to be scheduled.
Be sure to call through to the super class when overriding this function.
Parameters | |
---|---|
who |
Drawable :
The Drawable to verify. Return true if it is one you are
displaying, else return the result of calling through to the
super class. |
Returns | |
