Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 24

public static final Creator<PointerIcon> CREATOR

Public methods

create

Added in API level 24

public static PointerIcon create (Bitmap bitmap, 
                float hotSpotX, 
                float hotSpotY)

Creates a custom pointer icon from the given bitmap and hotspot information.

Parameters
`bitmap`	`Bitmap`: The bitmap for the icon. This value cannot be `null`.
`hotSpotX`	`float`: The X offset of the pointer icon hotspot in the bitmap. Must be within the [0, bitmap.getWidth()) range.
`hotSpotY`	`float`: The Y offset of the pointer icon hotspot in the bitmap. Must be within the [0, bitmap.getHeight()) range.

Returns
`PointerIcon`	A pointer icon for this bitmap. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if bitmap is null, or if the x/y hotspot parameters are invalid.

describeContents

Added in API level 24

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
`int`	a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either `0` or `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

equals

Added in API level 24

public boolean equals (Object other)

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

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
`other`	`Object`: This value may be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.

getSystemIcon

Added in API level 24

public static PointerIcon getSystemIcon (Context context, 
                int type)

Gets a system pointer icon for the given type.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: The context. This value cannot be `null`.
`type`	`int`: The pointer icon type.

Returns
`PointerIcon`	The pointer icon. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if context is null.

load

Added in API level 24

public static PointerIcon load (Resources resources, 
                int resourceId)

Loads a custom pointer icon from an XML resource.

The XML resource should have the following form: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <pointer-icon xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:bitmap="@drawable/my_pointer_bitmap" android:hotSpotX="24" android:hotSpotY="24" />

Parameters
`resources`	`Resources`: The resources object. This value cannot be `null`.
`resourceId`	`int`: The resource id.

Returns
`PointerIcon`	The pointer icon. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if resources is null.
`Resources.NotFoundException`	if the resource was not found or the drawable linked in the resource was not found.

toString

Added in API level 24

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
`String`	a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 24

public void writeToParcel (Parcel out, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
`out`	`Parcel`: The Parcel in which the object should be written. This value cannot be `null`.
`flags`	`int`: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or `Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`. Value is either `0` or a combination of `Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
