A Drawable is a general abstraction for "something that can be drawn."  Most
 often you will deal with Drawable as the type of resource retrieved for
 drawing things to the screen; the Drawable class provides a generic API for
 dealing with an underlying visual resource that may take a variety of forms.
 Unlike a View, a Drawable does not have any facility to
 receive events or otherwise interact with the user.
 
In addition to simple drawing, Drawable provides a number of generic mechanisms for its client to interact with what is being drawn:
-  The setBounds(Rect)method must be called to tell the Drawable where it is drawn and how large it should be. All Drawables should respect the requested size, often simply by scaling their imagery. A client can find the preferred size for some Drawables with thegetIntrinsicHeight()andgetIntrinsicWidth()methods.
-  The getPadding(Rect)method can return from some Drawables information about how to frame content that is placed inside of them. For example, a Drawable that is intended to be the frame for a button widget would need to return padding that correctly places the label inside of itself.
-  The setState(int)method allows the client to tell the Drawable in which state it is to be drawn, such as "focused", "selected", etc. Some drawables may modify their imagery based on the selected state.
-  The setLevel(int)method allows the client to supply a single continuous controller that can modify the Drawable is displayed, such as a battery level or progress level. Some drawables may modify their imagery based on the current level.
-  A Drawable can perform animations by calling back to its client
     through the Callbackinterface. All clients should support this interface (viasetCallback(Callback)) so that animations will work. A simple way to do this is through the system facilities such asView.setBackground(Drawable)andImageView.
- Bitmap: the simplest Drawable, a PNG or JPEG image.
- Nine Patch: an extension to the PNG format allows it to specify information about how to stretch it and place things inside of it.
- Vector: a drawable defined in an XML file as a set of points, lines, and curves along with its associated color information. This type of drawable can be scaled without loss of display quality.
- Shape: contains simple drawing commands instead of a raw bitmap, allowing it to resize better in some cases.
- Layers: a compound drawable, which draws multiple underlying drawables on top of each other.
- States: a compound drawable that selects one of a set of drawables based on its state.
- Levels: a compound drawable that selects one of a set of drawables based on its level.
- Scale: a compound drawable with a single child drawable, whose overall size is modified based on the current level.
Custom drawables
 All versions of Android allow the Drawable class to be extended and used at
 run time in place of framework-provided drawable classes. Starting in
 API 24, custom drawables classes
 may also be used in XML.
 
Note: Custom drawable classes are only accessible from within your application package. Other applications will not be able to load them.
 At a minimum, custom drawable classes must implement the abstract methods on
 Drawable and should override the Drawable.draw(Canvas) method to
 draw content.
 
Custom drawables classes may be used in XML in multiple ways:
- 
         Using the fully-qualified class name as the XML element name. For
         this method, the custom drawable class must be a public top-level
         class.
 <com.myapp.MyCustomDrawable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:color="#ffff0000" />
- 
         Using drawable as the XML element name and specifying the
         fully-qualified class name from the class attribute. This
         method may be used for both public top-level classes and public
         static inner classes.
 <drawable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" class="com.myapp.MyTopLevelClass$InnerCustomDrawable" android:color="#ffff0000" />

getBounds
public final Rect getBounds ()
Return the drawable's bounds Rect. Note: for efficiency, the returned object may be the same object stored in the drawable (though this is not guaranteed), so if a persistent copy of the bounds is needed, call copyBounds(rect) instead. You should also not change the object returned by this method as it may be the same object stored in the drawable.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Rect | The bounds of the drawable (which may change later, so caller

getMinimumHeight
public int getMinimumHeight ()
Returns the minimum height suggested by this Drawable. If a View uses this Drawable as a background, it is suggested that the View use at least this value for its height. (There will be some scenarios where this will not be possible.) This value should INCLUDE any padding.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | The minimum height suggested by this Drawable. If this Drawable doesn't have a suggested minimum height, 0 is returned. | 
getMinimumWidth
public int getMinimumWidth ()
Returns the minimum width suggested by this Drawable. If a View uses this Drawable as a background, it is suggested that the View use at least this value for its width. (There will be some scenarios where this will not be possible.) This value should INCLUDE any padding.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | The minimum width suggested by this Drawable. If this Drawable doesn't have a suggested minimum width, 0 is returned. | 
getOpacity
public abstract int getOpacity ()
      This method was deprecated
      in API level 29.
    This method is no longer used in graphics optimizations
  
Return the opacity/transparency of this Drawable.  The returned value is
 one of the abstract format constants in
 PixelFormat:
 PixelFormat.UNKNOWN,
 PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT,
 PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, or
 PixelFormat.OPAQUE.
 
An OPAQUE drawable is one that draws all all content within its bounds, completely covering anything behind the drawable. A TRANSPARENT drawable is one that draws nothing within its bounds, allowing everything behind it to show through. A TRANSLUCENT drawable is a drawable in any other state, where the drawable will draw some, but not all, of the content within its bounds and at least some content behind the drawable will be visible. If the visibility of the drawable's contents cannot be determined, the safest/best return value is TRANSLUCENT.
Generally a Drawable should be as conservative as possible with the
 value it returns.  For example, if it contains multiple child drawables
 and only shows one of them at a time, if only one of the children is
 TRANSLUCENT and the others are OPAQUE then TRANSLUCENT should be
 returned.  You can use the method resolveOpacity(int, int) to perform a
 standard reduction of two opacities to the appropriate single output.
 
Note that the returned value does not necessarily take into account a
 custom alpha or color filter that has been applied by the client through
 the setAlpha(int) or setColorFilter(ColorFilter) methods. Some subclasses,
 such as BitmapDrawable, ColorDrawable, and GradientDrawable,
 do account for the value of setAlpha(int), but the general behavior is dependent
 upon the implementation of the subclass.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | int The opacity class of the Drawable.
 Value is PixelFormat.UNKNOWN,PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT,PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, orPixelFormat.OPAQUE | 
See also:
getOpticalInsets

| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Insets | This value cannot be null. | 
getOutline
public void getOutline (Outline outline)
Called to get the drawable to populate the Outline that defines its drawing area.
 This method is called by the default ViewOutlineProvider to define
 the outline of the View.
 
The default behavior defines the outline to be the bounding rectangle of 0 alpha. Subclasses that wish to convey a different shape or alpha value must override this method.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| outline | Outline: This value cannot benull. | 
getPadding
public boolean getPadding (Rect padding)
Return in padding the insets suggested by this Drawable for placing content inside the drawable's bounds. Positive values move toward the center of the Drawable (set Rect.inset).

|---|---|
| int[] | An array of resource Ids describing the current state.
 This value cannot be null. | 
getTransparentRegion
public Region getTransparentRegion ()
Returns a Region representing the part of the Drawable that is completely transparent. This can be used to perform drawing operations, identifying which parts of the target will not change when rendering the Drawable. The default implementation returns null, indicating no transparent region; subclasses can optionally override this to return an actual Region if they want to supply this optimization information, but it is not required that they do so.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Region | Returns null if the Drawables has no transparent region to report, else a Region holding the parts of the Drawable's bounds that are transparent. | 
hasFocusStateSpecified
public boolean hasFocusStateSpecified ()
Indicates whether this drawable has at least one state spec explicitly
 specifying R.attr.state_focused.
 
Note: A View uses a Drawable instance as its background and it
 changes its appearance based on a state. On keyboard devices, it should
 specify its R.attr.state_focused to make sure the user
 knows which view is holding the focus.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | trueifR.attr.state_focusedis specified
 for this drawable. | 
inflate
public void inflate (Resources r, XmlPullParser parser, AttributeSet attrs, Resources.Theme theme)

See also:
jumpToCurrentState
public void jumpToCurrentState ()
If this Drawable does transition animations between states, ask that it immediately jump to the current state and skip any active animations.
mutate
public Drawable mutate ()
Make this drawable mutable. This operation cannot be reversed. A mutable drawable is guaranteed to not share its state with any other drawable. This is especially useful when you need to modify properties of drawables loaded from resources. By default, all drawables instances loaded from the same resource share a common state; if you modify the state of one instance, all the other instances will receive the same modification. Calling this method on a mutable Drawable will have no effect.

         re-drawn,falseotherwise | 
See also:
setLevel
public final boolean setLevel (int level)
Specify the level for the drawable. This allows a drawable to vary its imagery based on a continuous controller, for example to show progress or volume level.
If the new level you are supplying causes the appearance of the
 Drawable to change, then it is responsible for calling
 invalidateSelf() in order to have itself redrawn, and
 true will be returned from this function.
| Parameters | |

| level | int: The new level, from 0 (minimum) to 10000 (maximum).
 Value is between 0 and 10000 inclusive | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | Returns true if this change in level has caused the appearance of the Drawable to change (hence requiring an invalidate), otherwise returns false. | 
setState
public boolean setState (int[] stateSet)
Specify a set of states for the drawable. These are use-case specific,
 so see the relevant documentation. As an example, the background for
 widgets like Button understand the following states:
 [R.attr.state_focused,
  R.attr.state_pressed].
 
If the new state you are supplying causes the appearance of the
 Drawable to change, then it is responsible for calling
 invalidateSelf() in order to have itself redrawn, and
 true will be returned from this function.
 
Note: The Drawable holds a reference on to stateSet until a new state array is given to it, so you must not modify this array during that time.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| stateSet | int: The new set of states to be displayed.
 This value cannot benull. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | Returns true if this change in state has caused the appearance of the Drawable to change (hence requiring an invalidate), otherwise returns false. | 
setTint
public void setTint (int tintColor)
Specifies tint color for this drawable.
 A Drawable's drawing content will be blended together with its tint
 before it is drawn to the screen. This functions similarly to
 setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode).
 
 To clear the tint, pass null to
 setTintList(android.content.res.ColorStateList).
 
Note: Setting a color filter via
 setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter) or
 setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode) overrides tint.
 
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| tintColor | int: Color to use for tinting this drawable | 
setTintBlendMode
public void setTintBlendMode (BlendMode blendMode)
Specifies a tint blending mode for this drawable.
 Defines how this drawable's tint color should be blended into the drawable
 before it is drawn to screen. Default tint mode is BlendMode.SRC_IN.
 
Note: Setting a color filter via
 setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter)
 
| Parameters | |

setTintList
public void setTintList (ColorStateList tint)
Specifies tint color for this drawable as a color state list.
 A Drawable's drawing content will be blended together with its tint
 before it is drawn to the screen. This functions similarly to
 setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode).
 
Note: Setting a color filter via
 setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter) or
 setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode) overrides tint.
 
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| tint | ColorStateList: Color state list to use for tinting this drawable, ornullto clear the tint | 
setTintMode
public void setTintMode (PorterDuff.Mode tintMode)
Specifies a tint blending mode for this drawable.
 Defines how this drawable's tint color should be blended into the drawable
 before it is drawn to screen. Default tint mode is PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN.
 
Note: Setting a color filter via
 setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter) or
 setColorFilter(int, android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode) overrides tint.
 
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| tintMode | PorterDuff.Mode: A Porter-Duff blending mode to apply to the drawable, a value of null sets
                 the default Porter-Diff blending mode value
                 ofPorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN |

setVisible
public boolean setVisible (boolean visible, 
                boolean restart)Set whether this Drawable is visible. This generally does not impact the Drawable's behavior, but is a hint that can be used by some Drawables, for example, to decide whether run animations.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| visible | boolean: Set to true if visible, false if not. | 
| restart | boolean: You can supply true here to force the drawable to behave
                as if it has just become visible, even if it had last
                been set visible.  Used for example to force animations
                to restart. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | boolean Returns true if the new visibility is different than its previous state. | 
unscheduleSelf
public void unscheduleSelf (Runnable what)
Use the current Callback implementation to have this Drawable
 unscheduled.  Does nothing if there is no Callback attached to the
 Drawable.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| what | Runnable: The runnable that you no longer want called.
 This value cannot benull. | 
Protected methods
onBoundsChange
protected void onBoundsChange (Rect bounds)
Override this in your subclass to change appearance if you vary based on the bounds.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| bounds | Rect: This value cannot benull. | 
onLevelChange
protected boolean onLevelChange (int level)
Override this in your subclass to change appearance if you vary based on level.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| level | int | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | Returns true if the level change has caused the appearance of the Drawable to change (that is, it needs to be drawn), else false if it looks the same and there is no need to redraw it since its last level. | 
onStateChange
protected boolean onStateChange (int[] state)
Override this in your subclass to change appearance if you recognize the specified state.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| state | int: This value cannot benull. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | Returns true if the state change has caused the appearance of the Drawable to change (that is, it needs to be drawn), else false if it looks the same and there is no need to redraw it since its last state. |
