Class Overview

Base class that can be used to implement virtualized lists of items. A list does not have a spatial definition here. For instance, subclases of this class can display the content of the list in a grid, in a carousel, as stack, etc.

Summary

Nested Classes
class	AbsListView.LayoutParams	AbsListView extends LayoutParams to provide a place to hold the view type.
interface	AbsListView.OnScrollListener	Interface definition for a callback to be invoked when the list or grid has been scrolled.
interface	AbsListView.RecyclerListener	A RecyclerListener is used to receive a notification whenever a View is placed inside the RecycleBin's scrap heap.

XML Attributes
Attribute Name	Related Method	Description
android:cacheColorHint		Indicates that this list will always be drawn on top of solid, single-color opaque background.
android:drawSelectorOnTop	setDrawSelectorOnTop(boolean)	When set to true, the selector will be drawn over the selected item.
android:fastScrollEnabled		Enables the fast scroll thumb that can be dragged to quickly scroll through the list.
android:listSelector	setSelector(int)	Drawable used to indicate the currently selected item in the list.
android:scrollingCache		When set to true, the list uses a drawing cache during scrolling.
android:smoothScrollbar	setSmoothScrollbarEnabled(boolean)	When set to true, the list will use a more refined calculation method based on the pixels height of the items visible on screen.

However, if your view maintains some idea of internal selection, such as a cursor, or a selected row or column, you should override this method and fill in a more specific rectangle.

Parameters

r	The rectangle to fill in, in this view's coordinates.

public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev)

Since: API Level 1

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:

You will receive the down event here.
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.
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().
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	The motion event being dispatched down the hierarchy.

Returns

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.

public boolean onKeyDown (int keyCode, KeyEvent event)

Since: API Level 1

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

Parameters

keyCode	A key code that represents the button pressed, from `KeyEvent`.
event	The KeyEvent object that defines the button action.

Returns

If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

public boolean onKeyUp (int keyCode, KeyEvent event)

Since: API Level 1

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

Parameters

keyCode	A key code that represents the button pressed, from `KeyEvent`.
event	The KeyEvent object that defines the button action.

Returns

If you handled the event, return true. If you want to allow the event to be handled by the next receiver, return false.

public void onRestoreInstanceState (Parcelable state)

Since: API Level 1

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

public Parcelable onSaveInstanceState ()

Since: API Level 1

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

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.

public void onTextChanged (CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count)

Since: API Level 1

For our text watcher that is associated with the text filter. Performs the actual filtering as the text changes, and takes care of hiding and showing the popup displaying the currently entered filter text.

public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent ev)

Since: API Level 1

Implement this method to handle touch screen motion events.

Parameters

ev	The motion event.

Returns

True if the event was handled, false otherwise.

public void onTouchModeChanged (boolean isInTouchMode)

Since: API Level 1

Callback method to be invoked when the touch mode changes.

Parameters

isInTouchMode	True if the view hierarchy is now in touch mode, false otherwise.

public void onWindowFocusChanged (boolean hasWindowFocus)

Since: API Level 1

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	True if the window containing this view now has focus, false otherwise.

public int pointToPosition (int x, int y)

Since: API Level 1

Maps a point to a position in the list.

public void setFastScrollEnabled (boolean enabled)

Since: API Level 3

Enables fast scrolling by letting the user quickly scroll through lists by dragging the fast scroll thumb. The adapter attached to the list may want to implement SectionIndexer if it wishes to display alphabet preview and jump between sections of the list.

Parameters

public void setOverScrollMode (int mode)

Since: API Level 9

Set the over-scroll mode for this view. Valid over-scroll modes are OVER_SCROLL_ALWAYS (default), OVER_SCROLL_IF_CONTENT_SCROLLS (allow over-scrolling only if the view content is larger than the container), or OVER_SCROLL_NEVER. Setting the over-scroll mode of a view will have an effect only if the view is capable of scrolling.

Parameters

mode	The new over-scroll mode for this view.

public void setRecyclerListener (AbsListView.RecyclerListener listener)

Since: API Level 1

Sets the recycler listener to be notified whenever a View is set aside in the recycler for later reuse. This listener can be used to free resources associated to the View.

Parameters

listener	The recycler listener to be notified of views set aside in the recycler.

public void setScrollIndicators (View up, View down)

Since: API Level 1

public void setScrollingCacheEnabled (boolean enabled)

Since: API Level 1

Enables or disables the children's drawing cache during a scroll. By default, the drawing cache is enabled but this will use more memory. When the scrolling cache is enabled, the caches are kept after the first scrolling. You can manually clear the cache by calling setChildrenDrawingCacheEnabled(boolean).

Parameters

enabled	true to enable the scroll cache, false otherwise

public void setSelector (Drawable sel)

Since: API Level 1

public void setSelector (int resID)

Since: API Level 1

Set a Drawable that should be used to highlight the currently selected item.

Related XML Attributes

android:listSelector

Parameters

resID	A Drawable resource to use as the selection highlight.

public void setSmoothScrollbarEnabled (boolean enabled)

Since: API Level 3

When smooth scrollbar is enabled, the position and size of the scrollbar thumb is computed based on the number of visible pixels in the visible items. This however assumes that all list items have the same height. If you use a list in which items have different heights, the scrollbar will change appearance as the user scrolls through the list. To avoid this issue, you need to disable this property. When smooth scrollbar is disabled, the position and size of the scrollbar thumb is based solely on the number of items in the adapter and the position of the visible items inside the adapter. This provides a stable scrollbar as the user navigates through a list of items with varying heights.

Related XML Attributes

android:smoothScrollbar

Parameters

enabled	Whether or not to enable smooth scrollbar.

public void setStackFromBottom (boolean stackFromBottom)

Since: API Level 1

When stack from bottom is set to true, the list fills its content starting from the bottom of the view.

Parameters

textFilterEnabled	true to enable type filtering, false otherwise

public void setTranscriptMode (int mode)

Since: API Level 1

Puts the list or grid into transcript mode. In this mode the list or grid will always scroll to the bottom to show new items.

Parameters

mode	the transcript mode to set

public boolean showContextMenuForChild (View originalView)

Since: API Level 1

Bring up a context menu for the specified view or its ancestors.

In most cases, a subclass does not need to override this. However, if the subclass is added directly to the window manager (for example, addView(View, android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)) then it should override this and show the context menu.

Parameters

originalView	The source view where the context menu was first invoked

Returns

true if a context menu was displayed

public void smoothScrollBy (int distance, int duration)

Since: API Level 8

Smoothly scroll by distance pixels over duration milliseconds.

Parameters

duration	Duration of the scroll animation in milliseconds.

public void smoothScrollToPosition (int position, int boundPosition)

Since: API Level 8

Smoothly scroll to the specified adapter position. The view will scroll such that the indicated position is displayed, but it will stop early if scrolling further would scroll boundPosition out of view.

Parameters

position	Scroll to this adapter position.
boundPosition	Do not scroll if it would move this adapter position out of view.

public void smoothScrollToPosition (int position)

Since: API Level 8

Smoothly scroll to the specified adapter position. The view will scroll such that the indicated position is displayed.

Parameters

position	Scroll to this adapter position.

public boolean verifyDrawable (Drawable dr)

Since: API Level 1

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

dr	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

boolean If true than the Drawable is being displayed in the view; else false and it is not allowed to animate.

Protected Methods

Be sure to call through to the superclass when overriding this function.

protected ViewGroup.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams (ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Since: API Level 1

Returns a safe set of layout parameters based on the supplied layout params. When a ViewGroup is passed a View whose layout params do not pass the test of checkLayoutParams(android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams), this method is invoked. This method should return a new set of layout params suitable for this ViewGroup, possibly by copying the appropriate attributes from the specified set of layout params.

Parameters

p	The layout parameters to convert into a suitable set of layout parameters for this ViewGroup.

Returns

an instance of ViewGroup.LayoutParams or one of its descendants

protected float getBottomFadingEdgeStrength ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns the strength, or intensity, of the bottom faded edge. The strength is a value between 0.0 (no fade) and 1.0 (full fade). The default implementation returns 0.0 or 1.0 but no value in between. Subclasses should override this method to provide a smoother fade transition when scrolling occurs.

Returns

the intensity of the bottom fade as a float between 0.0f and 1.0f

protected ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo getContextMenuInfo ()

Since: API Level 1

Views should implement this if they have extra information to associate with the context menu. The return result is supplied as a parameter to the onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu, View, ContextMenuInfo) callback.

Returns

Extra information about the item for which the context menu should be shown. This information will vary across different subclasses of View.

protected float getTopFadingEdgeStrength ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns the strength, or intensity, of the top faded edge. The strength is a value between 0.0 (no fade) and 1.0 (full fade). The default implementation returns 0.0 or 1.0 but no value in between. Subclasses should override this method to provide a smoother fade transition when scrolling occurs.

Returns

the intensity of the top fade as a float between 0.0f and 1.0f

protected void handleDataChanged ()

Since: API Level 1

protected boolean isInFilterMode ()

Since: API Level 1

Indicates whether this view is in filter mode. Filter mode can for instance be enabled by a user when typing on the keyboard.

Returns

True if the view is in filter mode, false otherwise.

protected void layoutChildren ()

Since: API Level 1

Subclasses must override this method to layout their children.

protected void onAttachedToWindow ()

Since: API Level 1

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(Canvas), however it may be called any time before the first onDraw -- including before or after onMeasure(int, int).

protected int[] onCreateDrawableState (int extraSpace)

Since: API Level 1

Generate the new Drawable state for this view. This is called by the view system when the cached Drawable state is determined to be invalid. To retrieve the current state, you should use getDrawableState().

Parameters

extraSpace	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

Returns an array holding the current Drawable state of the view.

protected void onDetachedFromWindow ()

Since: API Level 1

This is called when the view is detached from a window. At this point it no longer has a surface for drawing.

protected void onDisplayHint (int hint)

Since: API Level 8

Gives this view a hint about whether is displayed or not. For instance, when a View moves out of the screen, it might receives a display hint indicating the view is not displayed. Applications should not rely on this hint as there is no guarantee that they will receive one.

Parameters

hint	A hint about whether or not this view is displayed: `VISIBLE` or `INVISIBLE`.

protected void onFocusChanged (boolean gainFocus, int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect)

Since: API Level 1

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

gainFocus	True if the View has focus; false otherwise.
direction	The direction focus has moved when requestFocus() is called to give this view focus. Values are `FOCUS_UP`, `FOCUS_DOWN`, `FOCUS_LEFT` or `FOCUS_RIGHT`. It may not always apply, in which case use the default.
previouslyFocusedRect	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.

protected void onLayout (boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b)

Since: API Level 1

Subclasses should NOT override this method but layoutChildren() instead.

Parameters

changed	This is a new size or position for this view
l	Left position, relative to parent
t	Top position, relative to parent
r	Right position, relative to parent
b	Bottom position, relative to parent

protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)

Since: API Level 1

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 overriden 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	horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with `View.MeasureSpec`.
heightMeasureSpec	vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with `View.MeasureSpec`.

protected void onOverScrolled (int scrollX, int scrollY, boolean clampedX, boolean clampedY)

Since: API Level 9

Called by overScrollBy(int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, boolean) to respond to the results of an over-scroll operation.

Parameters

scrollX	New X scroll value in pixels
scrollY	New Y scroll value in pixels
clampedX	True if scrollX was clamped to an over-scroll boundary
clampedY	True if scrollY was clamped to an over-scroll boundary

protected void onSizeChanged (int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh)

Since: API Level 1

This is called during layout when the size of this view has changed. If you were just added to the view hierarchy, you're called with the old values of 0.

Parameters

w	Current width of this view.
h	Current height of this view.
oldw	Old width of this view.
oldh	Old height of this view.
