public class StateSet
extends Object



State sets are arrays of positive ints where each element represents the state of a View (e.g. focused, selected, visible, etc.). A View may be in one or more of those states. A state spec is an array of signed ints where each element represents a required (if positive) or an undesired (if negative) View state. Utils dealing with state sets. In theory we could encapsulate the state set and state spec arrays and not have static methods here but there is some concern about performance since these methods are called during view drawing.

Summary

Fields

public static final int[] NOTHING

A state set that does not contain any valid states.

public static final int[] WILD_CARD

A state specification that will be matched by all StateSets.

Public methods

static String dump(int[] states)
static boolean isWildCard(int[] stateSetOrSpec)

Return whether the stateSetOrSpec is matched by all StateSets.

static boolean stateSetMatches(int[] stateSpec, int[] stateSet)

Return whether the stateSet matches the desired stateSpec.

static boolean stateSetMatches(int[] stateSpec, int state)

Return whether the state matches the desired stateSpec.

static int[] trimStateSet(int[] states, int newSize)

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object

Object clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

void finalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

final Class<?> getClass()

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

final void notify()

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

final void notifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
