XML Attributes

android:checkMark

Drawable used for the check mark graphic.

Must be a reference to another resource, in the form "@[+][package:]type:name" or to a theme attribute in the form "?[package:][type:]name".

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol checkMark.

Related Methods

android:checked

Indicates the initial checked state of this text.

Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol checked.

Public Methods

public Drawable getCheckMarkDrawable ()

Added in API level 16

Gets the checkmark drawable

Related XML Attributes
Returns
  • The drawable use to represent the checkmark, if any.

public boolean isChecked ()

Added in API level 1

public void jumpDrawablesToCurrentState ()

Added in API level 11

Call Drawable.jumpToCurrentState() on all Drawable objects associated with this view.

Also calls jumpToCurrentState() if there is a StateListAnimator attached to this view.

public void onInitializeAccessibilityEvent (AccessibilityEvent event)

Added in API level 14

Initializes an AccessibilityEvent with information about this View which is the event source. In other words, the source of an accessibility event is the view whose state change triggered firing the event.

Example: Setting the password property of an event in addition to properties set by the super implementation:

 public void onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) {
     super.onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(event);
     event.setPassword(true);
 }

If an View.AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(AccessibilityDelegate) its onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

Note: Always call the super implementation before adding information to the event, in case the default implementation has basic information to add.

Parameters
event The event to initialize.

public void onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo (AccessibilityNodeInfo info)

Added in API level 14

Initializes an AccessibilityNodeInfo with information about this view. The base implementation sets:

Subclasses should override this method, call the super implementation, and set additional attributes.

If an View.AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(AccessibilityDelegate) its onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo(View, AccessibilityNodeInfo) is responsible for handling this call.

Parameters
info The instance to initialize.

public void onRtlPropertiesChanged (int layoutDirection)

Added in API level 17

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 the direction of the layout

public void setCheckMarkDrawable (Drawable d)

Added in API level 1

Set the checkmark to a given Drawable. This will be drawn when isChecked() is true.

Related XML Attributes
Parameters
d The Drawable to use for the checkmark.

public void setCheckMarkDrawable (int resid)

Added in API level 1

Set the checkmark to a given Drawable, identified by its resourece id. This will be drawn when isChecked() is true.

Related XML Attributes
Parameters
resid The Drawable to use for the checkmark.

public void setChecked (boolean checked)

Added in API level 1

Changes the checked state of this text view.

Parameters
checked true to check the text, false to uncheck it

public void setVisibility (int visibility)

Added in API level 1

Set the enabled state of this view.

Parameters
visibility One of VISIBLE, INVISIBLE, or GONE.

public void toggle ()

Added in API level 1

Change the checked state of the view to the inverse of its current state

Protected Methods

protected void drawableStateChanged ()

Added in API level 1

This function is called whenever the state of the view changes in such a way that it impacts the state of drawables being shown.

If the View has a StateListAnimator, it will also be called to run necessary state change animations.

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

protected int[] onCreateDrawableState (int extraSpace)

Added in 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 onDraw (Canvas canvas)

Added in API level 1

Implement this to do your drawing.

Parameters
canvas the canvas on which the background will be drawn

protected boolean verifyDrawable (Drawable who)

Added in 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
who 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.
