AnimatedVectorDrawable

AnimatedVectorDrawable | API reference | Android Developers

Starting from API 25, AnimatedVectorDrawable runs on RenderThread (as opposed to on UI thread for earlier APIs). This means animations in AnimatedVectorDrawable can remain smooth even when there is heavy workload on the UI thread. Note: If the UI thread is unresponsive, RenderThread may continue animating until the UI thread is capable of pushing another frame. Therefore, it is not possible to precisely coordinate a RenderThread-enabled AnimatedVectorDrawable with UI thread animations. Additionally, android.graphics.drawable.Animatable2.AnimationCallback.onAnimationEnd(Drawable) will be called the frame after the AnimatedVectorDrawable finishes on the RenderThread.

AnimatedVectorDrawable can be defined in either three separate XML files, or one XML.

Since the AAPT tool supports a new format that bundles several related XML files together, we can merge the XML files from the previous examples into one XML file:

XML attributes

android:animation The animation for the target path, group or vector drawable. android:drawable The static vector drawable. android:name The name of the target path, group or vector drawable.

Public constructors

public AnimatedVectorDrawable ()

Public methods

applyTheme

public void applyTheme (Resources.Theme t)

Applies the specified theme to this Drawable and its children.

Parameters
`t`	`Resources.Theme`: the theme to apply. This value cannot be `null`.

canApplyTheme

public boolean canApplyTheme ()

Returns
`boolean`

clearAnimationCallbacks

public void clearAnimationCallbacks ()

Removes all existing animation callbacks.

draw

public void draw (Canvas canvas)

Draws the AnimatedVectorDrawable into the given canvas.

Note: Calling this method with a software canvas when the AnimatedVectorDrawable is being animated on RenderThread (for API 25 and later) may yield outdated result, as the UI thread is not guaranteed to be in sync with RenderThread on VectorDrawable's property changes during RenderThread animations.

Parameters
`canvas`	`Canvas`: The canvas to draw into

getAlpha

public int getAlpha ()

For API 25 and later, AnimatedVectorDrawable runs on RenderThread. Therefore, when the root alpha is being animated, this getter does not guarantee to return an up-to-date alpha value.

Returns
`int`	the containing vector drawable's root alpha value.

getColorFilter

public ColorFilter getColorFilter ()

Returns the current color filter, or null if none set.

Returns
`ColorFilter`	the current color filter, or `null` if none set

getIntrinsicHeight

public int getIntrinsicHeight ()

Returns the drawable's intrinsic height.

Intrinsic height is the height at which the drawable would like to be laid out, including any inherent padding. If the drawable has no intrinsic height, such as a solid color, this method returns -1.

Returns
`int`	the intrinsic height, or -1 if no intrinsic height

getIntrinsicWidth

public int getIntrinsicWidth ()

Returns the drawable's intrinsic width.

Intrinsic width is the width at which the drawable would like to be laid out, including any inherent padding. If the drawable has no intrinsic width, such as a solid color, this method returns -1.

Returns
`int`	the intrinsic width, or -1 if no intrinsic width

getOpacity

public int getOpacity ()

This method is deprecated.
This method is no longer used in graphics optimizations

Return the opacity/transparency of this Drawable. The returned value is one of the abstract format constants in PixelFormat: PixelFormat.UNKNOWN, PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT, PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, or PixelFormat.OPAQUE.

An OPAQUE drawable is one that draws all all content within its bounds, completely covering anything behind the drawable. A TRANSPARENT drawable is one that draws nothing within its bounds, allowing everything behind it to show through. A TRANSLUCENT drawable is a drawable in any other state, where the drawable will draw some, but not all, of the content within its bounds and at least some content behind the drawable will be visible. If the visibility of the drawable's contents cannot be determined, the safest/best return value is TRANSLUCENT.

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 necessarily take into account a custom alpha or color filter that has been applied by the client through the setAlpha(int) or setColorFilter(ColorFilter) methods. Some subclasses, such as BitmapDrawable, ColorDrawable, and GradientDrawable, do account for the value of setAlpha(int), but the general behavior is dependent upon the implementation of the subclass.

Returns
`int`	int The opacity class of the Drawable. Value is one of the following: `PixelFormat.UNKNOWN` `PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT` `PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT` `PixelFormat.OPAQUE`

getOpticalInsets

public Insets getOpticalInsets ()

Return in insets the layout insets suggested by this Drawable for use with alignment operations during layout.

Returns
`Insets`	This value cannot be `null`.

getOutline

public void getOutline (Outline outline)

Called to get the drawable to populate the Outline that defines its drawing area.

This method is called by the default ViewOutlineProvider to define the outline of the View.

The default behavior defines the outline to be the bounding rectangle of 0 alpha. Subclasses that wish to convey a different shape or alpha value must override this method.

Parameters
`outline`	`Outline`: This value cannot be `null`.

inflate

public void inflate (Resources res, 
                XmlPullParser parser, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                Resources.Theme theme)

Inflate this Drawable from an XML resource optionally styled by a theme. This can't be called more than once for each Drawable. Note that framework may have called this once to create the Drawable instance from XML resource.

Parameters
`res`	`Resources`: Resources used to resolve attribute values. This value cannot be `null`.
`parser`	`XmlPullParser`: XML parser from which to inflate this Drawable. This value cannot be `null`.
`attrs`	`AttributeSet`: Base set of attribute values. This value cannot be `null`.
`theme`	`Resources.Theme`: Theme to apply, may be null

Throws
`IOException`
`XmlPullParserException`

isRunning

public boolean isRunning ()

Indicates whether the animation is running.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the animation is running, false otherwise.

isStateful

public boolean isStateful ()

Indicates whether this drawable will change its appearance based on state. Clients can use this to determine whether it is necessary to calculate their state and call setState.

Returns
`boolean`	True if this drawable changes its appearance based on state, false otherwise.

mutate

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
`Drawable`	This drawable. This value cannot be `null`.

onLayoutDirectionChanged

public boolean onLayoutDirectionChanged (int layoutDirection)

Called when the drawable's resolved layout direction changes.

Parameters
`layoutDirection`	`int`: Value is one of the following: `View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR` `View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL`

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if the layout direction change has caused the appearance of the drawable to change such that it needs to be re-drawn, `false` otherwise

registerAnimationCallback

public void registerAnimationCallback (Animatable2.AnimationCallback callback)

Adds a callback to listen to the animation events.

Parameters
`callback`	`Animatable2.AnimationCallback`: This value cannot be `null`.

reset

public void reset ()

Resets the AnimatedVectorDrawable to the start state as specified in the animators.

setAlpha

public void setAlpha (int alpha)

Specify an alpha value for the drawable. 0 means fully transparent, and 255 means fully opaque.

Parameters
`alpha`	`int`: Value is between 0 and 255 inclusive

setColorFilter

public void setColorFilter (ColorFilter colorFilter)

Specify an optional color filter for the drawable.

If a Drawable has a ColorFilter, each output pixel of the Drawable's drawing contents will be modified by the color filter before it is blended onto the render target of a Canvas.

Pass null to remove any existing color filter.

Note: Setting a non-null color filter disables tint.

Parameters
`colorFilter`	`ColorFilter`: The color filter to apply, or `null` to remove the existing color filter

setHotspot

public void setHotspot (float x, 
                float y)

Specifies the hotspot's location within the drawable.

Parameters
`x`	`float`: The X coordinate of the center of the hotspot
`y`	`float`: The Y coordinate of the center of the hotspot

setHotspotBounds

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

Sets the bounds to which the hotspot is constrained, if they should be different from the drawable bounds.

Parameters
`left`	`int`: position in pixels of the left bound
`top`	`int`: position in pixels of the top bound
`right`	`int`: position in pixels of the right bound
`bottom`	`int`: position in pixels of the bottom bound

setTintBlendMode

public void setTintBlendMode (BlendMode blendMode)

Specifies a tint blending mode for this drawable.

Defines how this drawable's tint color should be blended into the drawable before it is drawn to screen. Default tint mode is BlendMode.SRC_IN.

Note: Setting a color filter via setColorFilter(ColorFilter)

Parameters
`blendMode`	`BlendMode`: This value cannot be `null`.

setVisible

public boolean setVisible (boolean visible, 
                boolean restart)

Set whether this Drawable is visible. This generally does not impact the Drawable's behavior, but is a hint that can be used by some Drawables, for example, to decide whether run animations.

Parameters
`visible`	`boolean`: Set to true if visible, false if not.
`restart`	`boolean`: You can supply true here to force the drawable to behave as if it has just become visible, even if it had last been set visible. Used for example to force animations to restart.

Returns
`boolean`	boolean Returns true if the new visibility is different than its previous state.

start

public void start ()

Starts the drawable's animation.

stop

public void stop ()

Stops the drawable's animation.
