public static final class VibrationEffect.Composition
extends Object

A composition of haptic elements that are combined to be playable as a single VibrationEffect.

The haptic primitives are available as Composition.PRIMITIVE_* constants and can be added to a composition to create a custom vibration effect. Here is an example of an effect that grows in intensity and then dies off, with a longer rising portion for emphasis and an extra tick 100ms after:

 VibrationEffect effect = VibrationEffect.startComposition()
     .addPrimitive(VibrationEffect.Composition.PRIMITIVE_SLOW_RISE, 0.5f)
     .addPrimitive(VibrationEffect.Composition.PRIMITIVE_QUICK_FALL, 0.5f)
     .addPrimitive(VibrationEffect.Composition.PRIMITIVE_TICK, 1.0f, 100)
     .compose();

When choosing to play a composed effect, you should check that individual components are supported by the device by using Vibrator.arePrimitivesSupported.

Constants

DELAY_TYPE_PAUSE

public static final int DELAY_TYPE_PAUSE

The delay represents a pause in the composition between the end of the previous primitive and the beginning of the next one.

The primitive will start after the requested pause after the last primitive ended. The actual time the primitive will be played depends on the previous primitive's actual duration on the device hardware. This enables the combination of primitives to create more complex effects based on how close to each other they'll play. Here is an example:

     VibrationEffect popEffect = VibrationEffect.startComposition()
         .addPrimitive(PRIMITIVE_QUICK_RISE)
         .addPrimitive(PRIMITIVE_CLICK, 0.7, 50, DELAY_TYPE_PAUSE)
         .compose()

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

DELAY_TYPE_RELATIVE_START_OFFSET

public static final int DELAY_TYPE_RELATIVE_START_OFFSET

The delay represents an offset before starting this primitive, relative to the start time of the previous primitive in the composition.

The primitive will start at the requested fixed time after the last primitive started, independently of that primitive's actual duration on the device hardware. This enables precise timings of primitives within a composition, ensuring they'll be played at the desired intervals. Here is an example:

     VibrationEffect.startComposition()
         .addPrimitive(PRIMITIVE_CLICK, 1.0)
         .addPrimitive(PRIMITIVE_TICK, 1.0, 20, DELAY_TYPE_RELATIVE_START_OFFSET)
         .addPrimitive(PRIMITIVE_THUD, 1.0, 80, DELAY_TYPE_RELATIVE_START_OFFSET)
         .compose()

Will be performed on the device as follows:

  0ms               20ms                     100ms
  PRIMITIVE_CLICK---PRIMITIVE_TICK-----------PRIMITIVE_THUD

A primitive will be dropped from the composition if it overlaps with previous ones.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

PRIMITIVE_CLICK

public static final int PRIMITIVE_CLICK

This effect should produce a sharp, crisp click sensation.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

PRIMITIVE_LOW_TICK

public static final int PRIMITIVE_LOW_TICK

This very short low frequency effect should produce a light crisp sensation intended to be used repetitively for dynamic feedback.

Constant Value: 8 (0x00000008)

PRIMITIVE_QUICK_FALL

public static final int PRIMITIVE_QUICK_FALL

A haptic effect that simulates quick downwards movement with gravity.

Constant Value: 6 (0x00000006)

PRIMITIVE_QUICK_RISE

public static final int PRIMITIVE_QUICK_RISE

A haptic effect that simulates quick upward movement against gravity.

Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)

PRIMITIVE_SLOW_RISE

public static final int PRIMITIVE_SLOW_RISE

A haptic effect that simulates slow upward movement against gravity.

Constant Value: 5 (0x00000005)

PRIMITIVE_SPIN

public static final int PRIMITIVE_SPIN

A haptic effect that simulates spinning momentum.

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

PRIMITIVE_THUD

public static final int PRIMITIVE_THUD

A haptic effect that simulates downwards movement with gravity. Often followed by extra energy of hitting and reverberation to augment physicality.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

PRIMITIVE_TICK

public static final int PRIMITIVE_TICK

This very short effect should produce a light crisp sensation intended to be used repetitively for dynamic feedback.

Constant Value: 7 (0x00000007)
