Drawable Resources

Bitmap

A bitmap image. Android supports bitmap files in a threeformats: .png (preferred),.jpg(acceptable),.gif (discouraged).

You can reference a bitmap file directly,using the filename asthe resource ID,or create an alias resource ID in XML.

Note: Bitmap files may beautomatically optimized with lossless image compression by theaapt tool. For example,a true-color PNG that does not requiremore than 256 colors may be converted to an 8-bit PNG with a colorpalette. This will result in an image of equal quality but whichrequires less memory. So be aware that the image binaries placed inthis directory can change during the build. If you plan on readingan image as a bit stream in order to convert it to a bitmap,putyour images in the res/raw/ folder instead,where theywill not be optimized.

Bitmap File

A bitmap file is a .png,or.gif file. Android creates a Drawable resource for any of these files when you savethem in the res/drawable/ directory.

file location:

res/drawable/filename.png( .png,or .gif)
The filename is used as the resource ID.

compiled resource datatype:

Resource pointer to a BitmapDrawable.

resource reference:

In Java: R.drawable.filename
In XML: @[package:]drawable/filename

example:

With an image saved at res/drawable/myimage.png,this layout XML applies the image to a View:

<ImageView

  android:layout_height="wrap_content"

  android:layout_width="wrap_content"

  android:src="@drawable/myimage" />

The following application code retrieves the image as aDrawable:

Resources res = ;
Drawable drawable = res.(R.drawable.myimage);
getResources()getDrawable

XML Bitmap

An XML bitmap is a resource defined in XML that points to abitmap file. The effect is an alias for a raw bitmap file. The XMLcan specify additional properties for the bitmap such as ditheringand tiling.

Note: You can use a<bitmap> element as achild of an <item>element. For example,when creating a state list or layer list,you can exclude the android:drawableattribute from an <item>element and nest a<bitmap> inside it thatdefines the drawable item.

file location:

res/drawable/filename.xml
The filename is used as the resource ID.

compiled resource datatype:

Resource pointer to a BitmapDrawable.

resource reference:

In Java: R.drawable.filename
In XML: @[package:]drawable/filename

Syntax:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap

  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

  android:src="@[package:]drawable/drawable_resource"

  android:antialias=["true" | "false"]

  android:dither=["true" | "false"]

  android:filter=["true" | "false"]

elements:

<bitmap>

Defines the bitmap source and its properties.

attributes:

xmlns:android

String. Defines the XML namespace,which must be "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android". This isrequired only if the <bitmap> is the rootelement—it is not needed when the <bitmap> is nestedinside an <item>.

android:src

Drawable resource. required.Reference to a drawable resource.

android:antialias

Boolean. Enables or disables antialiasing.

android:dither

Boolean. Enables or disables dithering of the bitmapif the bitmap does not have the same pixel configuration as thescreen (for instance: a ARGB 8888 bitmap with an RGB 565screen).

android:filter

Boolean. Enables or disables bitmap filtering.Filtering is used when the bitmap is shrunk or stretched to smoothits apperance.

android:gravity

Keyword. Defines the gravity for the bitmap. Thegravity indicates where to position the drawable in its containerif the bitmap is smaller than the container.

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constantvalues:

Value	Description
`top`	Put the object at the top of its container,not changing itssize.
`bottom`	Put the object at the bottom of its container,not changing itssize.
`left`	Put the object at the left edge of its container,not changingits size.
`right`	Put the object at the right edge of its container,not changingits size.
`center_vertical`	Place object in the vertical center of its container,notchanging its size.
`fill_vertical`	Grow the vertical size of the object if needed so it completelyfills its container.
`center_horizontal`	Place object in the horizontal center of its container,notchanging its size.
`fill_horizontal`	Grow the horizontal size of the object if needed so itcompletely fills its container.
`center`	Place the object in the center of its container in both thevertical and horizontal axis,not changing its size.
`fill`	Grow the horizontal and vertical size of the object if neededso it completely fills its container. This is the default.
`clip_vertical`	Additional option that can be set to have the top and/or bottomedges of the child clipped to its container's bounds. The clip isbased on the vertical gravity: a top gravity clips the bottom edge,a bottom gravity clips the top edge,and neither clips bothedges.
`clip_horizontal`	Additional option that can be set to have the left and/or rightedges of the child clipped to its container's bounds. The clip isbased on the horizontal gravity: a left gravity clips the rightedge,a right gravity clips the left edge,and neither clips bothedges.

android:tileMode

Keyword. Defines the tile mode. When the tile mode isenabled,the bitmap is repeated. Gravity is ignored when the tilemode is enabled.

Must be one of the following constant values:

Value	Description
`disabled`	Do not tile the bitmap. This is the default value.
`clamp`	Replicates the edge color if the shader draws outside of itsoriginal bounds
`repeat`	Repeats the shader's image horizontally and vertically.
`mirror`	Repeats the shader's image horizontally and vertically,alternating mirror images so that adjacent images always seam.

example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

  android:src="@drawable/icon"

  android:tileMode="repeat" />

Nine-Patch

A @L_404_39@ is a PNG image in which you can definestretchable regions that Android scales when content within theView exceeds the normal image bounds. You typically assign thistype of image as the background of a View that has at least onedimension set to "wrap_content",and when the Viewgrows to accomodate the content,the Nine-Patch image is alsoscaled to match the size of the View. An example use of aNine-Patch image is the background used by Android's standardButton widget,which must stretch to accommodate thetext (or image) inside the button.

Same as with a normal bitmap,you can reference a Nine-Patch file directly or from aresource defined by XML.

For a complete discussion about how to create a Nine-Patch filewith stretchable regions,see the 2D Graphics document.

  android:dither=["true" | "false"] />

elements:

<nine-patch>

Defines the Nine-Patch source and its properties.

attributes:

xmlns:android: String. required. Defines the XMLnamespace,which must be "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android".
android:src: Drawable resource. required.Reference to a Nine-Patch file.
android:dither: Boolean. Enables or disables dithering of the bitmapif the bitmap does not have the same pixel configuration as thescreen (for instance: a ARGB 8888 bitmap with an RGB 565screen).

example:

<nine-patch xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

  android:src="@drawable/myninepatch"

  android:dither="false" />

Layer List

A LayerDrawable is a drawable object that manages an arrayof other drawables. Each drawable in the list is drawn in the orderof the list—the last drawable in the list is drawn on top.

Each drawable is represented by an<item> element inside asingle <layer-list>element.

file location:

res/drawable/filename.xml
The filename is used as the resource ID.

compiled resource datatype:

Resource pointer to a LayerDrawable.

resource reference:

In Java: R.drawable.filename
In XML: @[package:]drawable/filename

Syntax:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list

  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

  <item

    android:drawable="@[package:]drawable/drawable_resource"

    android:id="@[+][package:]id/resource_name"

    android:top="dimension"

    android:right="dimension"

    android:bottom="dimension"

    android:left="dimension" />
</layer-list>

elements:

<layer-list>

required. This must be the root element.Contains one or more <item> elements.

attributes:

xmlns:android: String. required. Defines the XMLnamespace,which must be "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android".

<item>

Defines a drawable to place in the layer drawable,in aposition defined by its attributes. Must be a child of a <selector> element.Accepts child <bitmap>elements.

attributes:

android:drawable: Drawable resource. required.Reference to a drawable resource.
android:id: Resource ID. A unique resource ID for this drawable.To create a new resource ID for this item,use the form: "@+id/name". The plus symbol indicates thatthis should be created as a new ID. You can use this identifier toretrieve and modify the drawable with View.findViewById() or Activity.findViewById().
android:top: Integer. The top offset in pixels.
android:right: Integer. The right offset in pixels.
android:bottom: Integer. The bottom offset in pixels.
android:left: Integer. The left offset in pixels.

All drawable items are scaled to fit the size of the containingView,by default. Thus,placing your images in a layer list atdifferent positions might increase the size of the View and someimages scale as appropriate. To avoid scaling items in the list,use a <bitmap> elementinside the <item>element to specify the drawable and define the gravity to somethingthat does not scale,such as "center". For example,the following <item>defines an item that scales to fit its container View:

<item android:drawable="@drawable/image" />

To avoid scaling,the following example uses a<bitmap> element withcentered gravity:

<item>

 <bitmap android:src="@drawable/image"

     android:gravity="center" />
</item>

example:

XML file saved at res/drawable/layers.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

  <item>

   <bitmap android:src="@drawable/android_red"

    android:gravity="center" />

  </item>

  <item android:top="10dp" android:left="10dp">

   <bitmap android:src="@drawable/android_green"

    android:gravity="center" />

  </item>

  <item android:top="20dp" android:left="20dp">

   <bitmap android:src="@drawable/android_blue"

    android:gravity="center" />

  </item>
</layer-list>

Notice that this example uses a nested<bitmap> element todefine the drawable resource for each item with a "center" gravity.This ensures that none of the images are scaled to fit the size ofthe container,due to resizing caused by the offset images.

This layout XML applies the drawable to a View:

<ImageView

  android:layout_height="wrap_content"

  android:layout_width="wrap_content"

  android:src="@drawable/layers" />

The result is a stack of increasingly offset images:

LayerDrawable

State List

A StateListDrawable is a drawable object defined in XMLthat uses a several different images to represent the same graphic,depending on the state of the object. For example,a Button widget can exist in one of several differentstates (pressed,focused,or niether) and,using a state listdrawable,you can provide a different background image for eachstate.

You can describe the state list in an XML file. Each graphic isrepresented by an <item>element inside a single<selector> element. Each<item> uses varIoUsattributes to describe the state in which it should be used as thegraphic for the drawable.

During each state change,the state list is traversed top tobottom and the first item that matches the current state isused—the selection is not based on the "best match," butsimply the first item that meets the minimum criteria of thestate.

file location:

res/drawable/filename.xml
The filename is used as the resource ID.

compiled resource datatype:

Resource pointer to a StateListDrawable.

resource reference:

In Java: R.drawable.filename
In XML: @[package:]drawable/filename

Syntax:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

  android:constantSize=["true" | "false"]

  android:dither=["true" | "false"]

  android:variablePadding=["true" | "false"] >

  <item

    android:drawable="@[package:]drawable/drawable_resource"

    android:state_pressed=["true" | "false"]

    android:state_focused=["true" | "false"]

    android:state_selected=["true" | "false"]

    android:state_checkable=["true" | "false"]

    android:state_checked=["true" | "false"]

    android:state_enabled=["true" | "false"]

    android:state_window_focused=["true" | "false"] />
</selector>

elements:

<selector>

required. This must be the root element.Contains one or more <item> elements.

attributes:

xmlns:android: String. required. Defines the XMLnamespace,which must be "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android".
android:constantSize: Boolean. "true" if the drawable's reported internalsize remains constant as the state changes (the size is the maximumof all of the states); "false" if the size varies based on thecurrent state. Default is false.
android:dither: Boolean. "true" to enable dithering of the bitmap ifthe bitmap does not have the same pixel configuration as the screen(for instance,an ARGB 8888 bitmap with an RGB 565 screen); "false"to disable dithering. Default is true.
android:variablePadding: Boolean. "true" if the drawable's padding shouldchange based on the current state that is selected; "false" if thepadding should stay the same (based on the maximum padding of allthe states). Enabling this feature requires that you deal withperforming layout when the state changes,which is often notsupported. Default is false.

<item>

Defines a drawable to use during certain states,as describedby its attributes. Must be a child of a <selector> element.

attributes:

android:drawable: Drawable resource. required.Reference to a drawable resource.
android:state_pressed: Boolean. "true" if this item should be used when theobject is pressed (such as when a button is touched/clicked);"false" if this item should be used in the default,non-pressedstate.
android:state_focused: Boolean. "true" if this item should be used when theobject is focused (such as when a button is highlighted using thetrackball/d-pad); "false" if this item should be used in thedefault,non-focused state.
android:state_selected: Boolean. "true" if this item should be used when theobject is selected (such as when a tab is opened); "false" if thisitem should be used when the object is not selected.
android:state_checkable: Boolean. "true" if this item should be used when theobject is checkable; "false" if this item should be used when theobject is not checkable. (Only useful if the object can transitionbetween a checkable and non-checkable widget.)
android:state_checked: Boolean. "true" if this item should be used when theobject is checked; "false" if it should be used when the object isun-checked.
android:state_enabled: Boolean. "true" if this item should be used when theobject is enabled (capable of receiving touch/click events);"false" if it should be used when the object is disabled.
android:state_window_focused: Boolean. "true" if this item should be used when theapplication window has focus (the application is in theforeground),"false" if this item should be used when theapplication window does not have focus (for example,if thenotification shade is pulled down or a dialog appears).

Note: Remember that Androidapplies the first item in the state list that matches the currentstate of the object. So,if the first item in the list containsnone of the state attributes above,then it is applied every time,which is why your default value should always be last (asdemonstrated in the following example).

example:

XML file saved at res/drawable/button.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

  <item android:state_pressed="true"

     android:drawable="@drawable/button_pressed" /> <!-- pressed -->

  <item android:state_focused="true"

     android:drawable="@drawable/button_focused" /> <!-- focused -->

  <item android:drawable="@drawable/button_normal" /> <!-- default -->
</selector>

This layout XML applies the state list drawable to a Button:

<Button

  android:layout_height="wrap_content"

  android:layout_width="wrap_content"

  android:background="@drawable/button" />

elements:

<clip>

Defines the clip drawable. This must be the root element.

attributes:

xmlns:android

String. required. Defines the XMLnamespace,which must be "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android".

android:drawable

Drawable resource. required.Reference to a drawable resource to be clipped.

Keyword. The orientation for the clip.

Must be one of the following constant values:

Value	Description
`horizontal`	Clip the drawable horizontally.
`vertical`	Clip the drawable vertically.

android:gravity

Keyword. Specifies where to clip within the drawable.

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constantvalues:

Value	Description
`top`	Put the object at the top of its container,not changing itssize. When `clipOrientation` is `"vertical"`,clipping occurs at the bottom of the drawable.
`bottom`	Put the object at the bottom of its container,clipping occurs at the top of the drawable.
`left`	Put the object at the left edge of its container,not changingits size. This is the default. When `clipOrientation` is`"horizontal"`,clipping occurs at the right side of thedrawable. This is the default.
`right`	Put the object at the right edge of its container,not changingits size. When `clipOrientation` is`"horizontal"`,clipping occurs at the left side of thedrawable.
`center_vertical`	Place object in the vertical center of its container,notchanging its size. Clipping behaves the same as when gravity is`"center"`.
`fill_vertical`	Grow the vertical size of the object if needed so it completelyfills its container. When `clipOrientation` is`"vertical"`,no clipping occurs because the drawablefills the vertical space (unless the drawable level is 0,in whichcase it's not visible).
`center_horizontal`	Place object in the horizontal center of its container,notchanging its size. Clipping behaves the same as when gravity is`"center"`.
`fill_horizontal`	Grow the horizontal size of the object if needed so itcompletely fills its container. When `clipOrientation`is `"horizontal"`,no clipping occurs because thedrawable fills the horizontal space (unless the drawable level is0,in which case it's not visible).
`center`	Place the object in the center of its container in both thevertical and horizontal axis,not changing its size. When`clipOrientation` is `"horizontal"`,clippingoccurs on the left and right. When `clipOrientation` is`"vertical"`,clipping occurs on the top andbottom.
`fill`	Grow the horizontal and vertical size of the object if neededso it completely fills its container. No clipping occurs becausethe drawable fills the horizontal and vertical space (unless thedrawable level is 0,in which case it's not visible).
`clip_vertical`	Additional option that can be set to have the top and/or bottomedges of the child clipped to its container's bounds. The clip isbased on the vertical gravity: a top gravity clips the bottom edge,and neither clips bothedges.

example:

XML file saved at res/drawable/clip.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<clip xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

  android:drawable="@drawable/android"

  android:clipOrientation="horizontal"

  android:gravity="left" />
</clip>

The following layout XML applies the clip drawable to aView:

<ImageView

  android:id="@+id/image"

  android:background="@drawable/clip"

  android:layout_height="wrap_content"

  android:layout_width="wrap_content" />

The following code gets the drawable and increases the amount ofclipping in order to progressively reveal the image:

ImageView imageview = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
ClipDrawable drawable = (ClipDrawable) imageview.getDrawable();

drawable.setLevel(drawable.getLevel() + 1000);

Increasing the level reduces the amount of clipping and slowlyreveals the image. Here it is at a level of 7000:

Note: The default level is 0,which is fully clipped so the image is not visible. When the levelis 10,000,the image is not clipped and completely visible.

elements:

<scale>

Defines the scale drawable. This must be the root element.

attributes:

xmlns:android

String. required. Defines the XMLnamespace,which must be "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android".

android:drawable

Drawable resource. required.Reference to a drawable resource.

android:scaleGravity

Keyword. Specifies the gravity position after scaling.

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constantvalues:

Value	Description
`top`	Put the object at the top of its container,not changingits size. This is the default.
`right`	Put the object at the right edge of its container,not changing its size.
`fill`	Grow the horizontal and vertical size of the object if neededso it completely fills its container.
`clip_vertical`	Additional option that can be set to have the top and/or bottomedges of the child clipped to its container's bounds. The clip isbased on the vertical gravity: a top gravity clips the bottom edge,and neither clips bothedges.

android:scaleHeight

Percentage. The scale height,expressed as apercentage of the drawable's bound. The value's format is XX%. Forinstance: 100%,12.5%,etc.

android:scaleWidth

Percentage. The scale width,expressed as a percentageof the drawable's bound. The value's format is XX%. For instance:100%,etc.

example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<scale xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

  android:drawable="@drawable/logo"

  android:scaleGravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"

  android:scaleHeight="80%"

  android:scaleWidth="80%" />

</shape>

elements:

<shape>

The shape drawable. This must be the root element.

attributes:

xmlns:android

String. required. Defines the XMLnamespace,which must be "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android".

android:shape

Keyword. Defines the type of shape. Valid values are:

Value	Desciption
`"rectangle"`	A rectangle that fills the containing View. This is the defaultshape.
`"oval"`	An oval shape that fits the dimensions of the containingView.
`"line"`	A horizontal line that spans the width of the containing View.This shape requires the`<stroke>` element todefine the width of the line.
`"ring"`	A ring shape.

The following attributes are used only whenandroid:shape="ring":

android:innerRadius: Dimension. The radius for the inner part of the ring(the hole in the middle),as a dimension value or dimension resource.
android:innerRadiusRatio: Float. The radius for the inner part of the ring,expressed as a ratio of the ring's width. For instance,if android:innerRadiusRatio="5",then the inner radiusequals the ring's width divided by 5. This value is overridden by android:innerRadius. Default value is 9.
android:thickness: Dimension. The thickness of the ring,as a dimensionvalue or dimension resource.
android:thicknessRatio: Float. The thickness of the ring,expressed as a ratioof the ring's width. For instance,if android:thicknessRatio="2",then the thickness equalsthe ring's width divided by 2. This value is overridden by android:innerRadius. Default value is 3.
android:useLevel: Boolean. "true" if this is used as a LevelListDrawable. This should normally be "false" oryour shape may not appear.

<corners>

Creates rounded corners for the shape. Applies only when theshape is a rectangle.

attributes:

android:radius: Dimension. The radius for all corners,as a dimensionvalue or dimension resource. This is overridden for each corner by thefollowing attributes.
android:topLeftRadius: Dimension. The radius for the top-left corner,as adimension value or dimension resource.
android:topRightRadius: Dimension. The radius for the top-right corner,as adimension value or dimension resource.
android:bottomLeftRadius: Dimension. The radius for the bottom-left corner,as adimension value or dimension resource.
android:bottomRightRadius: Dimension. The radius for the bottom-right corner,asa dimension value or dimension resource.

Note: Every corner must(initially) be provided a corner radius greater than 1,or else nocorners are rounded. If you want specific corners to notbe rounded,a work-around is to use android:radius toset a default corner radius greater than 1,but then override eachand every corner with the values you really want,providing zero("0dp") where you don't want rounded corners.

<gradient>

Specifies a gradient color for the shape.

attributes:

android:angle

Integer. The angle for the gradient,in degrees. 0 isleft to right,90 is bottom to top. It must be a multiple of 45.Default is 0.

android:centerX

Float. The relative X-position for the center of thegradient (0 - 1.0). Does not apply when android:type="linear".

android:centerY

Float. The relative Y-position for the center of thegradient (0 - 1.0). Does not apply when android:type="linear".

android:centerColor

Color. Optional color that comes between the start andend colors,as a hexadecimal value or color resource.

android:endColor

Color. The ending color,as a hexadecimal value or color resource.

android:gradientRadius

Float. The radius for the gradient. Only applied when android:type="radial".

android:startColor

Color. The starting color,as a hexadecimal value or color resource.

android:type

Keyword. The type of gradient pattern to apply. Validvalues are:

Value	Description
`"linear"`	A linear gradient. This is the default.
`"radial"`	A radial gradient. The start color is the center color.
`"sweep"`	A sweeping line gradient.

android:useLevel

Boolean. "true" if this is used as a LevelListDrawable.

<padding>

Padding to apply to the containing View element (this pads theposition of the View content,not the shape).

attributes:

android:left: Dimension. Left padding,as a dimension value or dimension resource.
android:top: Dimension. Top padding,as a dimension value or dimension resource.
android:right: Dimension. Right padding,as a dimension value or dimension resource.
android:bottom: Dimension. Bottom padding,as a dimension value or dimension resource.

<size>

The size of the shape.

attributes:

android:height: Dimension. The height of the shape,as a dimensionvalue or dimension resource.
android:width: Dimension. The width of the shape,as a dimensionvalue or dimension resource.

Note: The shape scales to the sizeof the container View proportionate to the dimensions defined here,by default. When you use the shape in an ImageView,you can restrict scaling by setting theandroid:scaleType to "center".

<solid>

A solid color to fill the shape.

attributes:

android:color: Color. The color to apply to the shape,as ahexadecimal value or color resource.

<stroke>

A stroke line for the shape.

attributes:

android:width: Dimension. The thickness of the line,as a dimensionvalue or dimension resource.
android:color: Color. The color of the line,as a hexadecimal valueor color resource.
android:dashGap: Dimension. The distance between line dashes,as adimension value or dimension resource. Only valid if android:dashWidth is set.
android:dashWidth: Dimension. The size of each dash line,as a dimensionvalue or dimension resource. Only valid if android:dashGapis set.

example:

XML file saved at res/drawable/gradient_Box.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

  android:shape="rectangle">

  <gradient

    android:startColor="#FFFF0000"

    android:endColor="#80FF00FF"

    android:angle="45"/>

  <padding android:left="7dp"

    android:top="7dp"

    android:right="7dp"

    android:bottom="7dp" />

  <corners android:radius="8dp" />
</shape>

This layout XML applies the shape drawable to a View:

<TextView

  android:background="@drawable/gradient_Box"

  android:layout_height="wrap_content"

  android:layout_width="wrap_content" />

This application code gets the shape drawable and applies it toa View:

Resources res = ;
Drawable shape = res. (R.drawable.gradient_Box);


TextView tv = (TextView)findViewByID(R.id.textview);

tv.setBackground(shape);
