Public methods

getAccessibilityClassName

public CharSequence getAccessibilityClassName ()

Return the class name of this object to be used for accessibility purposes. Subclasses should only override this if they are implementing something that should be seen as a completely new class of view when used by accessibility, unrelated to the class it is deriving from. This is used to fill in AccessibilityNodeInfo.setClassName.

Returns
CharSequence

getFlipInterval

public int getFlipInterval ()

Get the delay before flipping to the next view.

Returns
int delay time in milliseconds Value is 0 or greater

isAutoStart

public boolean isAutoStart ()

Returns true if this view automatically calls startFlipping() when it becomes attached to a window.

Returns
boolean

isFlipping

public boolean isFlipping ()

Returns true if the child views are flipping.

Returns
boolean

setAutoStart

public void setAutoStart (boolean autoStart)

Set if this view automatically calls startFlipping() when it becomes attached to a window.

Parameters
autoStart boolean

setFlipInterval

public void setFlipInterval (int milliseconds)

How long to wait before flipping to the next view

Parameters
milliseconds int: time in milliseconds Value is 0 or greater

startFlipping

public void startFlipping ()

Start a timer to cycle through child views

stopFlipping

public void stopFlipping ()

No more flips

Protected methods

onAttachedToWindow

protected void onAttachedToWindow ()

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(android.graphics.Canvas), however it may be called any time before the first onDraw -- including before or after onMeasure(int, int).
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onDetachedFromWindow

protected void onDetachedFromWindow ()

This is called when the view is detached from a window. At this point it no longer has a surface for drawing.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onWindowVisibilityChanged

protected void onWindowVisibilityChanged (int visibility)

Called when the window containing has change its visibility (between GONE, INVISIBLE, and VISIBLE). Note that this tells you whether or not your window is being made visible to the window manager; this does not tell you whether or not your window is obscured by other windows on the screen, even if it is itself visible.

Parameters
visibility int: The new visibility of the window. Value is View.VISIBLE, View.INVISIBLE, or View.GONE
